Part IV: Colorado, land of hoopsticks, famous people, and snow
As we’re now doing everything out of order, I figured I’d go ahead and explain Colorado. I thought I’d give you illiterate subscribers a break and do a photo montage:


Cam burns and family with the legendary hoopstick…

tommy caldwell was out climbing and lost track of time (go figure)


what our interviews look like…(sort of)

the lovely miss Andrea Sutherland (of the Climbing Wall Assoc.) lets us crash at her pad in Boulder where we interview Lynn Hill

home. (for the night).

Alex’s traveling office outside Josh Wharton’s crib in the part of Rifle across the train tracks…

a few hours before stormy weather in Estes Park…

At last we have food! Chef Louie prepares our gourmet just-add-water food courtesy Backpacker’s Pantry that we picked up in Vegas…

my crew…the scrappiest lot I’ve ever known. Big love.

pit stop, USA!
Colorado was lovely. We interviewed Cam Burns, Josh Wharton, Jim Erickson, Lynn Hill, Tommy Caldwell to name a few.
“What interview so far has been the absolute craziest?” asked Cam Burns in his basement/climbing gym.
I reply, “This one is ranking pretty high so far…”

I hurt my finger on the LHMFP at Josh. No more memorial face problems for me.

I love the colors that come out in your photos, they’re so vivid! Your photo’s bring back memories of the very few outdoor trips we took in my childhood. Keep em coming.

I got a fever and the only cure is more hoopstick.
