"He always told his own son that if he were to climb, he’d climb as an athlete, not a guide. If Nima was going to risk it all, he would risk it for his own dreams." —Gloria Liu for National Geographic.

So, White Spider Climbing are hosting a fundraising event for the very worthwhile Climbing Out of Depression charity started by the excellent Be Fuller. 16th August

Sadly, as far as I know, all the above have so far not found the fediverse (or maybe I haven't found them here...?) so I thought I'd post it.

Turns out climbing is excellent for mental health. Check it out, come along.

Very modern setting, but a nice exercise for swing dynos. It was easier than I feared! This isn't really my comfort zone

Last weekend, I went on a challenging hike up steep cliffs. It was a demanding climb, but the views were worth it!

Once more, I climbed on a rock to look at more rocks. A sea of rocks! View from the peak of Selbhorn, Austria, across Steinernes Meer. The Via Ferrata up there was probably the most fun I ever had in the Alps.
