Hello, my name is Mattt. What follows is a collection of selected highlights from adventures worth sharing.

El Capitan, Yosemite Amusement Park
October 28th, 2008
We could never see the summit, and usually not the base. The wall exerts a gravity perpendicular to the rest of the Earth’s, a pull that only vaguely counteracts the massive yawing abyss, the sky, that is on every other side of you; below, above, and behind…
