Climbing at The Needles - Sequoia National Forest - California

" Little did we know this would be our last visit to 'The Needles' before the SQF complex fire would roll through these most cherished granite spires of the Southern Sierra. The vibes were high, as we saw familiar faces, & met new friends at the trailhead. The spring days were cool & crisp, and early season stoke was in the air. We hoofed our water & snacks in, deciding to make a discreet one-night camp at the notch and got an extra early Friday-start to the busy weekend. What really can be said about the purest of deep blue skies, surging clouds, and highlighter-bright lichen on pearlescent granite sliced by splitters galore... I just know that It’s a special, earthy, & purifying place unlike any other I've been to. we arrived with a plentiful stash of fruit, chocolate, gummies, & beef jerky that we dished out to appreciative parties much stronger than us- who had finished their own objectives. I sat the next morning in intentional prayer, offering as much thanks as i could for this beautiful zone, the great community that was there, the opportunity, the experience. I took a voicenote, trying to recall the emotions I was going through, and transcribed it into this short prayer. Please Enjoy the video & vibes. It’s a real tragedy that this year's Fire was the big one many felt was coming. but we trust that the Needles, The land, and its spirit, will endure. Blessings & Healing to all.
