Nice piece by Emily Urquhart on the @inaturalist app. I've had an amazing time this summer using it to figure out what from my local environment I can eat (which turns out to be wayyyy more than I expected). thewalrus.ca/hate-social-me… via @walrusmagazine

Close call climbing Jughaul Wall (Grotto Corner) yesterday. Rockfall from 40m directly above where I was belaying resulted in 5 minor flesh wounds. Could have been much worse--bread-loaf-sized pieces just missed! A short video of our misadventure: relive.cc/view/veqzGdXrK…

The Cougar Creek debris retention dam project is getting serious. Hiking/MTB trails on the W end of Grotto Mtn will be closed for a long time.
