SENDING is influenced by the immense natural beauty of California’s Redwood forests and The Eastern Sierras. As extraordinary as these places have been for me, I feel that the emotions they evoke reflect a shared experience enjoyed by an ever growing number of impassioned climbers around the world. 

 

For all the rightfully earned attention given to the dramatic first ascents, death defying feats, and world class competition that pushes climbing forward, I feel that much of what makes climbing so deeply fulfilling is unfortunately overlooked. In hopes of shining light on some of the unrecognized magic of our sport, I share with you the un-graded, life enriching, authentically emotional personal and social journey that I’ve gratefully found in climbing. 

 

The people I’ve met along the way have inspired admiration and friendship that will last me a lifetime. Appreciating the magnificence that climbing has shown me in our natural world, I simply couldn't work my way through another year without creatively sharing this story for all to see. It was a paramount pleasure to make, it gave me a voice and story-telling purpose I haven’t felt since the first days I held a camera.

I hope you enjoy.

 

Thank You
