"For any difficult venture, a solid team is essential. It goes without saying that skill is a necessary ingredient, but good friends with the proper spirit are imperative." -@pianapaul "The summit is made up of all the shoulders you stand upon. You never arrive at the summit alone. With you are your teammates who shared your struggle and fought for every inch of ground gained. But you also bring the heroes who inspired you, the mentors who took the time to teach you, your supporters who helped to get you there. All of their names belong on the summit register, so when you arrive there, you know you will be in good company." -Todd Skinner And what fine company, what friends with the most 'proper spirit' imaginable I've been lucky to share adventures with in the Winds this summer. None of what I've done in the mountains these past few weeks would have meant anything without having shared it with such a talented, hardworking, compassionate, authentic, and fun group of people. Thank you all for believing in me and helping me believe in myself as we've gone beyond our previous horizons together; it's been an honor. ♥️ to @home.sweet.homie @a_hoke @miyatsudome @jordi.llauvi And Dirtbag Kevin Photos by @mile_high_media_house @miyatsudome and myself at Mount Hooker and the Cirque of the Sun.
