I did go….. Was there only 1 out of 3 weeks…. With the whole travel restrictions and worries that we would be quarantined in France or in the US when we returned we decided not to risk it and fly back before the restriction started. Bummer. But at least we aren’t stuck in some random quarantine trailer somewhere…

Now with my France trip cut short with all these travel restrictions, I need to make the trek down to get this thing! Assuming KB doesn’t have other plans for it? Ill ask him.

I have a friend named Kyra Condie. We grew up competing in climbing together. She is from the mid west. Look her up. She is now one of two females that will be climbing for the US in the olympics this year. She had her back fused when she was young. Now she is one of the best climbers in the world! Maybe a new career path for you after surgery? 😉

Today marks 10 years post spinal fusion. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ On March 12th 2010, due to severe idiopathic scoliosis, I had vertebrae T2-T12 fused. That entire section of my back healed as one bone and can’t bend or twist at all. I knew back in 2010 when I got the surgery that I wasn’t going to let it impact my ability to be an athlete, but I never imagined I’d make it this far. I was lucky enough to find a surgeon at Gillette Children’s Hospital who believed in me and told me to send him a photo when I was standing on top of the podium. A few weeks ago, I got to one-up that—I emailed him that I qualified for the Tokyo 2020 Olympics. There are definitely times when I feel like my lack of mobility holds me back (a great example was boulder 2 in Finals in Toulouse), which can be super discouraging. I’ve learned to not let that frustrate me in the moment, but instead try to find a way that works for me. It definitely keeps things interesting to say the least. I love hearing stories from other people with scoliosis so if you ever have questions about the surgery feel free to message me! @mountainhardwear @ocun.climbing @penguinfingers

Nice! Glad you got it👍🏼 Did the truck come with the correct mirror arm screws? The rounded head things? If not, I smuggled some out of Europe last summer haha. I found a few and knew it is hard to get the correct head and pitch here in the states. Let me know if you need some I can send them

Saw the 4cam in the post by Kid63 in the randomness thread and it reminded me of a few pics I took while working in Seattle last weekend! Don’t know why I didn’t post them sooner.  These are some cars in a guy named Steve’s collection. He’s had these for 40 years…. bought them (and 3 other 4 cam cars that he sold to get his kids through college) from the dealer that he worked at as a parts kid. People would bring them back in wrecked or broken and would want the new model. So he bought them up for cheap… good investment…. haha

Might be worth having a spot to camp out of town a bit…. I know sonny has land south of town. Could be good to do that instead
