Archive: Photos from the last year

I sometimes hate making plans. Time is precious and that means when you commit to one thing, you give up the opportunity to do another. In this specific case, it's another missed opportunity to go up north when it is not raining. The weather forecast has shown inclement weather all week long until this very morning, so I was not expecting an opportunity to get out of Phoenix this morning. That being said, it's not like I was planning on getting out this Saturday. I was planning on catching up with friends later this afternoon so I gave up my day today to go outside. Life happens though, and plans fell through- so here I am again at the coffee shop. 

When I woke up this morning, I was scrolling through some old photos of the previous season of climbing in the desert (Superstitions & Oak Flat) and forest (Priest Draw) taken by my good friend Joe Durling of various people, and so I'll share them on here. I may update this page with more photos as I discover more of them, but without further ado, here they are:
