Written in Response to an Athlete’s Text.

Written after a Weekend Trip to Crew & Pace @ Cruel Jewel.

Written prior and after in response to the biggest DNF of my life, VA AT FKT Attempt.

“Misunderstood with just a pack. A set path, but an uncontrived why. Aid is a blessing of fortune, given in the form of magic by those who embrace the opportunity. No hype, No glory. Prescence, silence, and no bullshit. Just the style of mountain adventures I should have never gotten so far away from in the first place, but here we are.”
