To see dawn’s breath warm the grey of night,
Painting the sky and rock and trees in morning’s gold.
To stand in perfect silence high above the canyon’s walls.
To breathe in effort, to feel my body crave the work.
To know that you stand with me, and in me,
As I point my boots up, put my head down.
Step by step, inch by inch.
Making these mountains,
my life,

My own.

Legyen nyugodt, kedves, édes bácsi József. Amíg újra nem találkozunk.
Be at peace, my dear, sweet Uncle Joe. Until we meet again.

It is in the quiet we heard the sounds and felt the life. Thank You Laura for your words

Thanks, Doug and Rosie. Uncle Joe fought hard, first against prostate cancer, then against the stomach cancer which claimed him. He is finally at peace. smile

Beautiful poem and touching video, Moose. Thank you for posting. It looks like you had a nice trip.


I'm thinking of checking out Tom this weekend (over two days). How far up the north ridge did you go the other week? Did Elderberry seem skiable?

Hi, Jason. Sorry, just got back from a trip and saw this. How were conditions? I would think Elderberry would have been a bit sketch if there was new fresh on the windboard/slab I found there.

Hope you had a rad time!
