Enough about you...

So I pretty much have the coolest sponsors in the world and I recently sat down with Arc'teryx for a little chat. They posted an interview from the conversation on their main webpage, you can find it here.

I spent this past weekend getting to know the Arc'teryx crew a bit better at the Squamish Mountain Festival. It was a very fun event, with climbing clinics and workshops, photo contests, movies, guest speakers and of course, parties...I got in a fun game of dodgeball and was really inspired by the tales of adventure, travel, danger, camaraderie, culture and impressive physical efforts of the climbing world. It is a true lifestyle with some amazing personalities and athletes leading the charge. It really left me "psyched" to keep pushing my limits and to keep using my feet to take me to interesting places.

Of course I also sneaked off to get in some runs on Squamish's incredible trails. I have barely scratched the surface of what is out there, but it never fails to blow my mind (and legs). You could literally run for days on different trails, or until the bears getcha!

Here's one of the videos shown. Cedar Wright shot and cut this in one long day. He is also one funny presenter and an accomplished climber, who really seems to embody the climber lifestyle. Live the dream eh!:
