It’s someone’s birthday today...We slept in, drove, went for an impromptu trail run, then drove some more (sat in traffic). Finally made it back to Boulder in time to drink a milkshake before dinner. The end. _ #happybirthday #outdoorcouples #adventurecouple #partnersinclimb #keepitwild #naturetherapy #marriage #liveyourart

In celebration of womxn in the outdoors, let the weekend of the Flagship @nomanslandfilmfestival BEGIN!! #nmlffundefine #nmlff #outdoorwomen #liveyourart _ 📷: @evolwon_

The sun was nowhere to be found. Foxes would appear in the periphery, illuminated by the headlights as orange tufts and legs. We could only imagine the tundra and the sagging slopes of the continental divide surrounding us. // First light spread across a lake to our left. Emma’s quick tempo was the only thing I could hear. I forgot to bring gloves and my hands found no refuge in my synthetic sleeves. We chatted and stepped firmly into the morning rise. Ridgelines appeared as strings of blue, then pink, crescent moons. Moons that we could walk on, or run across without falling into the sky. The slopes and our legs led forever forward. There was only ever forward. // Yesterday, I followed @emmaathenamurray for the first few miles into her Pfiffner Traverse attempt, near Mt. Ida. Later, Emma reported, nearly half way done, that rain was pouring and her knee was giving her problems. Thankfully @sstroeer was in position to intercept her, and, after 21 hours and 38 miles of rough, cross-country terrain, Emma and Sunny made it safely to Sunny’s van at Lake Grandby, 3 a.m. this morning. Their willpower is unfathomable. First attempts are rarely successful in this world of backcountry ultra-running, but all that mattered to Emma was that she try. She still gave the Traverse an incredible effort and I can’t wait for what’s next. _ #nmlffundefine #nmlff #outdoorwomen #keepitwild #naturetherapy #womenwhoexplore #womenwhorun #trailrunning #liveyourart #sheadventures #bivytales #ultrarunning #runclimbeat #neverstopexploring #rockymountains #pfiffnertraverse

Spent the weekend in Vedauwoo. Only took pictures of @emmaathenamurray (it was her birthday after all). _ #happybirthday #nmlff #liveyourart #naturetherapy #keepitwild #campvibes #vedauwoo #dogmom #outdoorwomen #womenwhoexplore #sheexplores

I’ve been dealing with a seemingly endless bout of writer’s block and a general lack of motivation towards my own passion projects (like my memoir) for months now. I know it’ll pass. Life always goes on. I wait and wait and practice patience. Try not to be hard on myself. Focus on running and climbing and the things that still hold my attention. Blah blah. What is it that needs to change? What is it that my body is trying to tell me? My mind? I accept the rest and the silence, but I’m getting tired of it. (I know one solution is to read more.) And, well, there are some new things happening soon, so maybe they will aid in the breaking of this spell. (I even had a dream that the block was lifted and the outpouring of words had me penning into my notepad. [the sensation was like finally crawling into bed after a long and stressful day where the relief of sleep is something nearly instantaneous; or maybe it was more like reaching that runner’s high and the body is finally, and fully, dissociated from the mind.]) Anyway, give me writing prompts if you have them. Ready, set, go. _ Photo: Patrick climbing in Jackson Falls, IL #writersblock #bivytales #writerslife #liveyourart #neverstopexploring #keepitwild #nmlff

Slab meditations. // We’ve heard that the simple act of walking helps the brain stay healthy, especially in old age. Cherish those steps, my friends. _ #bivytales #outdoorwomen #womenwhoexplore #nmlff #keepitwild #neverstopexploring #naturetherapy #liveyourart

“In being honest with myself, to live my life entirely based on passion would be holistically exhausting and rash. While I tend to choose passion over the monotonously practical, balance would require the exertion of both. The best thing about curiosity is that it can be whatever you want it to be. It is passive, neutral fodder for a spectrum of action ...” NEW POST on the blog by @heysarawrr wherein she briefly contemplates curiosity versus passion. // 📷: @eliza_earle _ #outdoorwomen #womenwhoexplore #nmlff #keepitwild #curiosityawaits #neverstopexploring #bivytales #naptime #dreamscape

A bit late, but, if you’re curious about the Red Rock Rendezvous, a spring climbing festival, @heysarawrr wrote a brief recap of the event in Las Vegas. Up on the site today! _ #redrockrendezvous2018 #bivytales #womenwhoexplore #keepitwild #naturetherapy #redrockcanyon #paiuteland #fortheloveofclimbing #sheexplores #sheadventures #springmountainranchstatepark @mountaingear

“No one I met in New York knew about the mountains I’d climbed. They didn’t necessarily know how to care about such feats; and when people do not comprehend your strength when measured in their own units, they cannot reflect your strength as such. I started to doubt what I had.” — @efollender // NEW contemplations on the site with Emma Follender, wherein she interprets the relationships between the outdoors and those who have survived abusive relationships.

A slightly different view of things in Yosemite from a route called “Via Aqua”—an obscure adventure line I’d never heard of until two days prior. Runouts, traverses, exposure, chimneys, bushes, grass, ledges, bomber gear—it has it all! One of the coolest climbs I’ve done in a while. // 📷: @heysarawrr _ #yosemitenationalpark #keepitwild #liveclimbrepeat #neverstopexploring #yosemitefalls #nmlff #outdoorwomen #womenwhoexplore #fortheloveofclimbing #adventureroute

More @wildslice stickers I have the pleasure of owning. Waterproof and of high quality, one of these will end up on my Jeep pretty soon. I love how dreamy they are. _ #ilovestickers #stickerart #wildslice #nmlff #outdoorwomen #keepitwild #femininity #sheexplores #artistsofinstagram #wildher #arttherapy #naturestickers
