Sunday Afternoon

Posted on January 8, 2012 by j Thompson

Josh Apple, Kyler Pallister and I went out looking for a mellow day in Hyalite. We had no plan. After putting on our bags in the parking, we decided to check out Home Field Advantage. Last season this climb had liberal ice. A bolted line originally, eyed, by Pete Tapley and Joe Josephson. Pete and JoJo, along with Brian Schmitz and John Frieh climbed this line on January 9th 2009.

Hyalite time

Posted on December 19, 2011 by j Thompson

I was standing in the Houston airport last Friday, waiting to board a flight. Heading home to Bozeman and ran into my friend Kris Erickson, also heading home. A quick layover in Denver and a plane change I found myself running into another friend Chad Peele. Chad was also heading to Bozeman to attend the 15th Annual Ice Climbing Festival. It was a great start to the weekend. Hyalite was filled with great friends and great times last weekend. The magic of Hyalite on full display. Here are a couple of images.

Pursuing Creativity

Posted on November 11, 2011 by j Thompson

Its about the journey. The overnight success, is time. Fine tune your craft. It is a D-O-I-N-G… process. I hope to still be fine tuning my creative vision at 70. Steve Jobs didn’t stop at the first Macintosh Computer. He continued to perfect and fine tune his vision.

I recently had a conversation with a friend who made this observation to me. The set backs will be there no matter how successful I am. The dream and pursuit of my passion will bring progression.

Make art.

Here is a video from some folks that say it much better. If your a creative, sit down with a cup of coffee and enjoy.
