Redondo![]() Each step was more laborious than the last. The thin air seemed to take more out of me even as my lungs sucked to bring it in. At 11,000 feet I was within sight of the highest mountain’s peak. The final stretch was a dangerous scree slope capped in snow bringing Redondo to 12,000 feet. ![]() I felt cheated by the air as I climbed. The thin, unsatisfying vapors refused to fill my lungs and yet wind whipped around; threatening to push me over. Dark clouds had begun to gather promising further abuse from rain, snow, or even hail. On all fours now, I climbed higher, better judgment urged me to turn back from the gathering darkness and dangerous sliding rocks. Perhaps the altitude’s strange tricks on my mind forced me forwards. Either way I still moved up even as large shards of volcanic rock crashed below me like so many broken plates. ![]() On the way down I looked back up towards the peak and its crown of trees. The rain has begun to fall and the descent holds more danger than before. ![]() |

I spent my life imagining myself a part of the adventures that I saw in movies. One day something just clicked and I realized that adventure wasn't a far off land, it was an attitude. So I got out and started to look at the world around me. It's more interesting than I had suspected. Team Crowbar is just one person, without a crowbar. (You can do this by yourself!) ![]() rss feed
