Tuesday’s Ten Tidbits: De-Stress the Day
I recently spent a gorgeous fall Monday at Rifle Mountain Park. One of my girlfriends and I had planned to climb all day, but we mostly just sat beneath the same two climbs talking. We’d take 15-minute breaks to do those same two routes (four times each), but then get back to trying to figure […]
