You never realize how much adventure, climbing in my case, consumes of your life until you can’t do it. On Monday last week, I tweaked a tendon doing some pull-ups. Since then, I’ve spent more hours trying to figure out what to do with myself than I usually spend climbing. I also demolished a room […]

Forty minutes from the parking lot near Summit Lake sits the multi-pitch granite Black Wall of Mount Evans.
