Whether you're camping at the pit, or living in your van at the buttermilks .. at some point, you're gonna need some serious caffeine. Charlie, an Ohio-raised, coffee-making, pro-Bernie, van-dwelling barista, somehow manages to wake up at 5am most mornings, while the rest of us sleep in until 10. Upon realizing that it's too freaking hot to do anything, climbers gradually wander into Black Sheep to mooch off the internets and get free refills. Thanks for making us all coffee, Charlie. You're the best!

Derek and Katelyn: Two amazing people I’m so honored to have met and spent so much time with. They’re currently in Mexico, living out of their 1980s van, climbing all the time, and bringing life and energy everywhere they go.

Reminiscing of that time when Derek & Chino climbed El Sendero Luminoso one clear day in Potrero Chico, Mexico. We kept checking in throughout the day to see their progress, and cheered when they made it to the top. Climbing is so fun

Meet Kenny and Charlotte: a lovely couple traveling around the states from Australia! They've only been climbing for a short while and are already climbing hard! :)

Meet Ryan & Gypsy: the heart 'n soul of the Chief campground

Meet Nick: a young guy with old-soul from Connecticut who's been on the road for 5 months now, while living out of his rad sprinter van with his cat, Monkey!

Meet Brian: I met him 5 months ago in Leavenworth, WA and ran into him again in West Virginia. He's been on the road for a long time!

Good times, good times
