Back in Santa Cruz, my hometown. It's interesting how we can comeback to the same places again and again and each time see it a little different and learn something new. After having spent so much time overseas and in other far off places I have so much appreciation for where I come from and the people I grew up with. Panther Beach is a place that had a huge influence on my climbing and who I am. When I was recovering from a knee injury when I was 17, I would do my rehab by riding my bike up the coast everyday and then climb barefoot for hours on end making up endless eliminates. I once did 45 days without a single restday. It was an amazing place to reconnect with climbing and nature in it's purest form. Nothing difficult comes without having to work hard for it, but when it's something you love the effort and discipline come naturally.
