“Geology began when early man first picked up a stone, considered its qualities, and decided that it was better than the stone he already had.” —Henry and Carol Faul, 1983

Do have any allergies? What time of year?

Nice try, internet. But I won’t tell you what it would take to kill me. That’d be too easy.

Not to be too intrusive, but where is that? I'm coming stateside next summer, and I'm making a list of places to visit and climb, as well as work.

It’s a place called King’s Bluff here in TN. It’s good but the pace on the east coast that you have to hit up for good climbing is the New River Gorge in WV. That place is spectacular.

When you say "I went climbing today too", do you mean that you went rock climbing? Because if so, then you have officially become one of the most awesome people I know of. If not, then don't worry, you're still pretty chill.

Shouldn’t have worn a brown shirt, made me hard to see in the photo, but there ya go.
