180° South

I came across 180° South a few months ago on Netflix instant view, and I really think it's deserving of a plug. Basically a surfing/climbing bum finds and old documentary of a bunch of surfing/climbing bums in the 1960's on a road trip to Patagonia, and decides to follow their lead. On the way down things fall apart and blah blah blah. What really makes this film worth watching is that it kind plays catchup with the dirtbags from the original documentary, who are now the founders of outdoor clothing giants North Face and Patagonia. Personally I love the story, and by the end of the film I was restless to get outside and do.... anything. Check it out for free on Netflix next time you're stuck inside.

A Prequel.

A few pics from last year.

The Palisades waterfall. I feel like it could be climbed without a rope, but I also feel like there's a good chance I could die. Thankfully I did some research and found out it's illegal to climb in Palisades Park.

Episode I : The Phantom Menace

Little intro, I was looking for a way to document my exploits and I'm a big Satorialist fan so blogspot seemed like the natural choice. I'm not much for wordy blogs so here's a couple of photos from today's trip to North Jersey.

Buttermilk Falls.

A big ass frog that wasn't to be fucked with.

We also hit up sunrise mountain and a Cracker Barrel. Nothing completes a hike like sawmill gravy and biscuits. Overall, first hike of the year a success.
