- Hi Steph Simple Living Climb Fly Travel
Hey Steph,
My name is Jordon, I live in a small town in Texas where there are no mountains so, naturally, I didnt start rock climbing until the age of 18 at “Stone Moves Gym.” Ive been climbing a year now and Im absolutely in love with it; I sleep eat and climb now! I would have never started climbing if i didnt dislocate my left elbow in a pole vaulting accident and lose a full ride scholarship, so the old chinese proverb saying “you cant find anything, unless youve lost everything” means a lot to me. I know you get this all the time, but you really inspire me, right now im saving up money to buy a Ranger and a camper so I can travel around climbing, living out the back of my truck, and I would have never thought of this without your help. Maybe one day I’ll run into you on my travels; Im working on getting my Sky Diving liscense and plan on taking wingsuit classes at Flock University. Well, im off to class. Have a great day, and thanks for everything you do,
Jordon.
Thanks for writing to me Jordan, it inspires me to know about your energy, your resiliency, your positive attitude and your dreams! Reading this letter put a big smile on my face 😀
I wish you all the best, and I know you will have as many adventures as you choose to follow!
🙂 Steph
