I really love Vegas. Not the flashing lights, not the flowing booze, not the glamour and money.

So we live in a house now…
...and work full time jobs. We also cycle-commute to work, trail run, bake a lot, have board game nights, and do plenty of other non-climbing-related activities. How did we get here?
