My essay on the joy of walking uphill, alone, on skis. Which is also a reflection on growing old. wildsnow.com/31228/backscrat…

New episode of The RunOut is up--and one of our best yet thanks to our two returning guests: @Fredtheclimber and @kcordes.

Socially distant storytime: I'm reading my book, The Tower, cover-to-cover, over the next 16 days. Episodes are free, no ads, no bullshit, but you get what you pay for. Climbers are bored, and I'm no threat to professional narrators. kellycordes.com/book/audio-b…
The best films from @BanffMtnFest, in my completely biased and highly judgmental opinion. I have zero tolerance for bro-hucks-cliffs-on-loop music videos disguised as films, but Banff delivers. outsideonline.com/2382091/be…

My review in @outsidemagazine of the new documentary The Weight of Water, which premiered at the @BanffMtnFest. Layered in ways that force us to consider human qualities deeper than sight. Nice going, @ErikWeihenmayer @SeracFilms outsideonline.com/2369306/we…

"I’m just so sick of people dying, and their families left grieving. Then you think of it happening to you..." bit.ly/2t5v3Pr
Fascinating, resonant article in the @nytimes. History repeats on endless loop, the themes always easy to spot in others. When powerful emotions arise, evidence is no match for belief.

Blog post on my recent trip to Scotland, where they climb in ungodly conditions. Noticed while posting that it's my first in exactly two years -- a real go-getter, I am. kellycordes.com/2018/03/22/i…

Cassini gave us Saturn, but also gave us Earth — as only deep space could reveal: Small. Frail. Lonely. Steeped in darkness.
Terrific review in The Guardian! They even gave me a shout out, very cool. theguardian.com/books/2017/s…
Best piece I've read on Alex's free solo, by @Danielduane. Captures both the perspective & otherworldly magnificence nyti.ms/2t4Y5Nv

.@PublishersWkly called @tommycaldwell1's THE PUSH "an eloquent, absorbing story about testing one’s limits.” 💪🏔️ publishersweekly.com/978-0-3…
Excellent piece in The Times by Michael Wejchert, albeit an unfortunate topic. nytimes.com/2017/05/01/opini…
