18. oktober 2019, Forenede Stater ⋅ ⛅ 11 °C
Now that I have seen El Cap and Half Dome in person, all I keep thinking is, how in the world do rock climbers do this? How did Alex Honnold climb these massive rocks of granite without rope?! Insane.Læs mere

24. september 2019, Forenede Stater ⋅ ☀️ 22 °C

Badlands or the moon?
14. september 2019, Forenede Stater ⋅ ☀️ 21 °C
