Wholistic Fitness

Big Medicine Day for feeble ilg..i re-visited after a couple of decades my old ‘office’ of Eldorado Canyon where during a decade i was engulfed in a tidal wave of sacred creation; where once i put up dozens of First Ascents which to this day, legions of rock climbers still monument my original ascents…oh, baby, have things changed since my near daily pilgrimages to this unspeakably precious crayola-colored canyon hallmarked by a clear, wild creek rushing over still tumbling (though be it in slow-motion) boulders.

in typical early/mid 80’s style, i was completely hung over from partying/dancing hard (probably at ‘my’ club back then: The Boulder Express) the night before this photo shoot which had to happen at 4:30am before Farentinos Gym opened at 6…
