NOTED | 8.28.16


This morning I woke up in my camping trailer happy and sore after a day of climbing at Smith Rock. I'd be willing to argue with Disney that Smith is actually the happiest place on earth — well, at least for me anyway. 

Ben Randall with Smith Rock Climbing School and I spent a full day at the crag, splitting the morning and afternoon between the Northwest Wall and Phoenix Buttress. If you ask me my favorite place to climb, it's usually always the last place I've been, but there's something really special to me about Smith. This will definitely not be my last trip.

In between climbs, here's a few things of note scouted from around the Web this week.

Happy 100th anniversary to the National Park Service! Why America created its first national park.

What happens when ego is left behind, doubt is overcome and simple passion is left to lead the way.

Out of office reply: I'm in Nature.
