Bedrock & Paradox

I dream of a hard and brutal mysticism in which the naked self merges with a non-human world and yet somehow survives still intact, individual, separate. Paradox and bedrock.

Kokopelli ’08: Narrative

Food is key.


MTBR narrative here.



Numbers here. (Marshal?)


Postgame later. I’m beat. Spent the afternoon and evening cleaning, organizing, drinking some recovery beers.

Quite frankly, too much in my head to put it all in order.

Backing up: We did have to get to Moab.


Friday we hung out, then hiked Elephant Butte in Arches, an all-time classic.


M in the hidden worlds. (Where does the route go?)



Me on the unprotected ~5.2 crux.


Going down to go up.



Best view in town? As if such a choice could be made….

It’s always been a generator of good vibes and mojo. No exception this year. (One can see Delicate Arch to the right of M. Carefully.)

    Thanks Vito. The little pills are Hammer Endurolytes. I rarely have issues with cramping, but I’ve found electrolyte additives to be useful when it’s really hot. And I should have had more twizzlers. The Mojo bar did not get eaten, either.

    Vito, I teach middle and high school Geography, US History, and Government at a boarding school for female juvenile delinquents. We’re moving in Missoula in August, where I’ll be getting a Masters in Social Work at the U of M.
