​These days I generally find peace in mountains. The rock and the sweat generated by climbing them.  The movement up the rock, the exertion of muscles, the focus of the mind.  It is all very centering for me. 

When my mind is in the right place, it is my Zen. I am reminded that peace can be found anywhere in nature. Sometimes its best to just sit quietly and be present, to let the calming sounds of wind and water keep you company. This can remind you that you are part of something much bigger.

Furthermore, you can find those moments of absolute silence when the wind and water stop momentarily and you can feel your soul expand into the vastness left behind and become one with it all.

"High Water at Trappers" - Climbing in MO brings it own interesting and unique challenges. Many of the crags are along rivers and lakes, so checking Corp of Engineers website for water levels is sometimes required to determine access. Here, the access along the cliffs are reduced to stepping stones, but sometimes the path may be underwater, or it could be a a 5ft wide dry scramble over rock.

​"Bad Piton at Trappers" - MO crags rarely see the kind of maintenance and care experienced in the more popular areas of AR. Fixed gear and pitons can be found and should always be inspected carefully along with the rock quality.
