Came across this incredible story from Spenser and Vikki today about their adventures in New Mexico. Definitely worth a read!
I nearly died the other day.
We’re in New Mexico, and it’s a few days into our fall season here. A cornucopia of nascent bouldering attracted us here, while anticipation caused our plans to grow in scope until they eventually snowballed into what we’re calling The Conscious Climber Project. Much, much more on that in the next post.
It was at one of these nascent boulderfields, called Posos, that we intended to spend the weekend getting a tour from William. William is an energetic and wide-ranging explorer of boulders, having more or less discovered most of the modern, high-end boulders in northern New Mexico.
Out of a blue, sunny sky, raindrops began to splatter on the exposed rock and dot the downed, dessicated logs. It was warm, and we continued up the hill. Before we could head around to the other side of the hill, the rain intensified. We ducked under a small overhang at the top of the hill that we’d been checking as a possible boulder problem, but it didn’t afford as much cover as we’d hoped for. Kendo opted for a nearby tree with Olive, while William, myself, and the other two dogs cowered under the potential climb to wait it out.
