On November 12, David had just finished a two-pitch climb outside of Joshua Tree National Park in California. From the top, he lowered his partner to a big ledge so she could walk off. He then decided to down climb to the ledge without a belay. In this episode, David describes the accident that followed with remarkable self-awareness and good humor.

Ep 12 - Shock in Joshua Tree - David

Artist, freelance writer, music, Saving Earth, feeding the children, and peace.
The sun shines when you smile and the eyes speak from the heart. Looking for my "Duende" I am in the now, of myself only a small piece of the enigma of the great creation, how can my soul only end in its shadow. The methodical brush strokes of color describe my emotions of art, music, light, shadow, and splash of dark blue my sadness, and green across the sky is the healer.
