Been published lots of times, but I’ve never been the subject of a photo or story… until the December issue of Rock and Ice came out. I was featured in the Parting Shot on the last page. In huge orange capitals, the cover screams “THE WILDEST WHIPPER YOU’VE EVER SEEN” and it points to a series of ridiculous photos that Andy Mann snapped of me in mid 2008 in Penitente Canyon, which is in Colorado’s San Luis Valley. This is embarrassing but cool. Embarrassing that I took this kind of fall in the first place, but cool that I didn’t crack open my head and die. Mom, dad: don’t look. I still can’t believe this fall – if it weren’t so painful it’d be comical. Well, it still is comical, but anyway. I still remember it in super slow motion. I remember every single nonosecond of it all, as well as my entire thought process.
Nate!! I love this shot….it captures your quirkiness & love of life! Thank goodness you were on a rope! ;o) Any more thoughts on LP 2009???
WHAT!?
One picture didn’t do it justice? Oh, you’re so lucky…that Andy was there taking pictures.
Wow… i took an 60 footer on lead in Eldorado Canyon about five years ago. Sounds like we can both count our lucky stars. Nice work Nathan been admiring it for years.
What the fuck are you doing!!!
What the f*ck!
Mom, I told you to stop reading!
I can’t believe someone jsut kept taking pictures… I guess they were hoping to document your death????
Nathan, I sure hope you never have the opportunity to catch Chris doing this!!
Hey Nathan;
Just so I don’t have to relive it, what excatly was your entire, “thought process”? Also, VERY pleased you are around to talk to about this whole thingy…
you remember every “nonosecond” as in “NoNoNoNoNoNo…..nooooooo!” right?
It is simultaneously hilarious and nearly tragic … I am cracking up, but at the same time I feel really uncomfortable… I bet Toots is glad you are still around!
thats so freakin crazy, i saw that shot awhile ago but i must have missed the caption. glad you made it out alright amigo
