12/15/09 - Community is everywhere. It’s a Saturday morning and I’ve just arrived at the airport in Riverside, CA. I take a cab to my hotel where I am stationed for the weekend participating in interviews to determine who will eventually be the head of the organization I work for. The front desk tells me I’m too early to check into my room. I ask if there is a climbing gym anywhere nearby.  Niles Barnes - Reader Blog 2
6/23/09 - Climbers are some of the most immature people on the face of the earth and I mean that in a very good way. It is precisely because of this immaturity, that I think climbers are actually some of the most evolved and advanced group of people I have ever known. As I discovered on a climbing trip to Smith Rock, the human species has in fact naturally evolved by retaining immature characteristics.  Niles Barnes - Reader Blog 1
5/27/09 - I remember when I first discovered that there are more important things in life than climbing. It was morning and I was standing outside in the cold of March, down coat over top of my hospital gown, bandages covering my hands and an IV hooked to my arm. It was day 5 of being in the Chamonix hospital and I was taking a moment to walk around and stretch my legs in the parking lot. |
