It breaks my heart to share this—Eric Odenthal, beloved Moab and SoCal local, and owner/operator of Windgate Adventures guide business in Moab lost his home and his sweet dog Chloe in a fire yesterday. He is starting over from nothing, and Chloe was everything to him. If you have climbed with Eric or worked with him as a guide in Moab, you know he’s one of the most genuine, positive people around, and he’s unfailingly generous and encouraging to everyone he meets. We can’t bring Chloe back, but can try to help support him in getting back on his feet 🙏🏻

I’ve stepped away from the media for the last 2 weeks, with the exception of watching the Buddhist monks and Aloka finish their walk for peace across the US. I’ve been struggling really hard with feelings of despair and hopelessness about the world, starting in 2016 and becoming a constant feeling of pain more and more recently. Feeling like humans don’t care about other humans or living beings or the world, seeing Americans fall into hate and division instead of trying to do better. Seeing the monks make this sacrifice to walk 2300 miles with so much gentle strength and purity of intention, and more than that, watching so many Americans show up for them, has broken something and given me a new feeling of hope. I’ve cried more tears in the last 2 weeks than I have in years. We all want peace and we need to stop allowing ourselves to be divided. May you and all beings be healthy, happy and at peace.
