Peyote ceremony. I'm there! I know of a cool church near Benson, Arizona where they have the ceremony. I'm going someday, I've did it before being part Apache (not enough to get casino money though).

Here's a pic of me taken in late June.

Unfortunately, my rock climbing encountered a speed bump 2 weeks after this pic was taken as I broke both arms in a nasty fall. However, I'm on the mend and should be fully healed for the ice climbing season.

If that wasn't so high off the ground, that would look so amazing.
Ice climbing?
*shivers*
Stuff is insane man.
HaHa

I wish I was brave enough to do that.

This is a photo take near the end of July. I'm not sure what the proper term for this is .. but the amusement park (Canada's Wonderland) calls it Xtreme Sky Flyer.

That's amazing! How long have you been climbing for?

Thanks for the input guys!

I've been climbing on and off for the last 10yrs. Rock climbing is great but it just keeps me in shape for the ice climbing.

Ice climbing hasn't really taken off in Japan so one of my goals is to move to Hokkaido and pioneer some new routes/areas. One of these days, I'll quit my job, head out to Japan and become a bum for a few years.

That'd be soooo awesome! That's a great idea...how did you get into such a hobby?....maybe it's just where I live, but I never meet any climbers

I started off climbing indoors in a rock climbing gym but eventually moved outdoors. I was living in Toronto at the time and had to drive 2hrs to climb a short rock wall maybe 40m high.

I eventually moved to my current town where we have rock walls 400m high just 15 min away. An incredible town where everyone is incredibly fit, knows how to rock climb and enjoys the outdoors. A small town where there's no movie theater, Walmart, Home Depot but miles and miles of running and riding trails. A place where it's not uncommon to bump into a black bear, deer, moose, cougar, etc. during your early morning run.

I'll post pictures of my town when I get a chance.
