Core memory, what a day.

Ama Dablam, day 12!! Summit Lobuche✔️

What made it crazy? Typically Lobuche East is summited in the wee hours of the morning, ~2am start time. Average time from high camp to the summit is 4-8 hours. Big range. There was a decent amount of wind forecasted the day we were supposed to climb, which would’ve been day 13 of our trip… we wanted to avoid the wind.

So instead of sleeping and waking up to alpine start, we hiked from Lobuche town, gaining ~1,000’, arrived mid morning, packed our bags, and started the climb at 12:33pm. The best part? We reached the summit by 4pm, slayyyy team, slay. Back down in time for dinner🤪

So much fun, so much energy, the BEST team🥹❤️‍🔥

Pre-season prep for Sockeye Salmon season in Bristol Bay, AK. 🐟 🐟 🐟

Singing in the face of erasure may be the most beautiful way to say🖕to systems that attempt to conquer. We met Tibetan nuns today who continue to practice the holy traditions and teachings of Buddhism on this side of the border after Tibet was invaded. Their overlapping voices washed over me like ocean waves, impermanent yet indomitable. There are very few nunneries compared to monasteries in this region and the girls/women here decided at age 8 that they would dedicate the rest of their lifetime to being nuns. With the backdrop of the highest summits in the world, that so many have set out to ‘conquer,’ these women’s rhythms speak to the impermanence of that paradigm.

September was supposed to be easier, but kept giving and feeding the mind and soul.
For good or for less good, intense and with a lot of energy.
Changing the colors now.

I have grabbed the camera more and stopped every now and then to shoot a frame that I find interesting.
It may mean something or nothing.

Last winter, @wild_rye_ introduced me to the idea that my used fishing nets could be recycled — repurposed into anything from lawn chairs to technical outerwear.

While I’m out fishing on Bristol Bay, my 200 fathom (1200 ft) long net can run off and on the hydraulic reel anywhere from 8 to 70 times, bringing in anywhere from a few fish to upwards of 12,000lbs of wild salmon in a single haul.

As the season goes on, our nets become worn and ragged and we trade them out and send them off to our local recycler, “Net-Your-Problem”.

@netyourproblem estimates it has processed 2.2 million pounds of fishing gear since 2017!! That’s web that won’t end up in the ocean or landfills, but instead, might become your new favorite sunglasses.

After collection, the web and lines are cleaned, bailed, shredded and chemically broken down into different types of plastics. Outerwear companies use the recycled fibers in high performance fabrics to keep you dry on those ultra deep powder days (I tested them last year and Japan!).

It’s gratifying to know that my fishing nets, the very thing that provides my livelihood and feeds the world with a clean, sustainable protein will go on to their second, third and fourth lives.

Though by no means perfected, pursuing recycling en-mass feels like a way to tip the scales, reusing existing material and ultimately decreasing greenhouse gas emissions associated with the production of virgin plastics.
