Also I forgot to mention therapy. I saw a therapist after my accident for a while and it helped to process stuff. Totally normal to get some mental health help too!

Yeah, lots of good advice in here, I can relate to the end of the world feeling from my broken neck and back in 2020 although as things go my recovery was fairly straightforward and quick. Attitude is huge and sometimes all you can control (other than religiously doing your pt). It really helped to just keep focused on getting back to what you love and telling yourself you can over and over. Do whatever you can to get outside, even if it’s just rolling a wheelchair in the yard and build from there . Watch movies and read Alpinist for stoke (a buddy got me a subscription for a gift when I was down). Just keep keeping on and you’ll get there. We are all cheering for ya!

Ok, I just joined as I need some motivation. I’m new to this Strava thing, I’ve been using MapMyFitness and Gaia, do you all track things in more than one app at a time? I tend to use one for my conditioning runs and bikes and Gaia for actual outdoor adventures. Also logging my excuses early, almost all my around town activities involve jogging with a stroller and a dog in tow. It doesn’t make me faster. 😉

Stick it to me!

Another classic northwest pinnacle toppled due to climate change/climate migration.

I did save the note Fred left on my car once in classic scrawl on a napkin! I was lucky enough to have a couple big adventures with him and even made it up a peak or two (with and without him in tow). Happy Birthday Fred! I hope you found some unclimbed peaks in the next life.

I’m gonna be in Twisp doing some XC skiing with a baby, hopefully not in the rain. So don’t come to Hellbent!

Whatcha gonnna do with em???

Ok, I’ve been offline doing Xmas stuff! I nominate Hellbent Brewing in Lake City, plenty of seating and good beer and food trucks!

I saw Reeducation and read Reduction. We are at that camp.

Hah, I should probably go to the right bar! There in 10.

I’m here! Where is the helmet! I got the couches.

I’m making the trek down from Lake City, let me know if anyone needs a ride! I’d bring my wife but she’s gotta watch the bebe and Beveridge Place doesn’t take lil ones. This is gonna be fun!

Nice!

I vote for farther north! We have Eliot Bay in Lake City, and Hellbent has lots of space too! I’m up for wherever though!

Donated , I’ve gotten so much from this place over the years from beta to partners and friends! Been busy with the baby but hopefully my climbing days arent over yet!

Wow, great luck on the permit and weather and tough wife! Nice to see this. I spent a lot of time up in there like 10-15 years ago before it got quite so crazy and I miss it. One of these years I’ll go back, maybe when my son is old enough. :-)

Nice pics, we stopped after Terror (which dropped some terrifying blocks) but you make it sound cruiser after that. Hah!

Nice pics, your climbing partner is hot! That plane wreckage looks a heck of a lot cleaner and less mossy than when I first visited it like 25 years ago. Probably the traffic!

Oh no, very sad. Condolences to his family. I only knew him from here but he’ll be missed.

Nice, I like that your first color is “Dirt Orange”!

Dang, maybe I have to get on some of these routes still. I’m joining the alpine dad club in a couple weeks though . . .

Awesome, I had a good time up there years ago, glad it’s still a quiet adventure!

Thanks!

Fun!
