I’ve just added the Edge hangboard to the shop. I’m excited to see this hangboard released which I’ve collaborated with Edgy Climbing Holds to design.

Review: Denali: A Man, a Dog, and the Friendship of a Lifetime, by Ben Moon January 24, 2020

I lost my Plott hound Clyde last May in one long, endless day that blurred into night that blurred into day again. I’d had Clyde since he was two months old, a small, pug-nosed ball of brindle-furred, squeaky love who grew—all too quickly—to become a tall, long-limbed, long-snouted, lope-gaited ...Continue reading

Moving On And Getting Over January 9, 2019

Reflecting back on the surprising ways this website impacted me in real life, the winter of 2011 was a pivotal one.
