Sierra Nevada, Kauai and every trail since · June 2020 · In memory

For Brad

My best friend, and my endless inspiration to keep living and chasing the dream.

Brad.
Brad.

God, I wish I could take your yoga class, or stand on top of a mountain together again. Miss and love you. Treasure every memory. Thanks for being there on the other side for us. You know we still need you.

Filmed with an original GoPro in my mouth, coming off a climb called Towering Inferno with the best friend I could ever have. Love you forever, Brad.

Big up to the B-Rad Foundation, on Kauai and beyond, and to all of the beauty created in your memory. I carry you in my heart on every trail and river: rocking your old whitewater helmet, and surfing your tribute board on your birthday. You were with us in spirit for sure.
