“As beginners, the foreign language of awkward body movements communicates a commonality and leaves an ego naked. In this fragile moment, we are able to lay a foundation, a connection,” writes Becca. It’s hard to forget the first time you wedged fingers into a granite crack or careened wildly out of control down a ski slope. I bet you remember who was alongside of you.  In the outdoor world, as we age, we can become picky. We are able to discern choss from splitter granite or hard packed moguls from Utah’s finest snow.  Opportunities to return to that beginner’s wonder can be rare. Sometimes it is as simple as trading two planks for one.

  • I\'ve been staring at this box for a full five minutes, trying to think of a way to tell you how much I enjoy what you produce, but every combination of words sounds pompous or patronising. I hope that \'yours is the best podcast I know of\' will suffice. Thank you. Add a \'donate\' button and I\'ll use it.
