North Face (2008)

I watched the North Face, a german film about the 1937 attempt up the North Face of Eiger over the weekend and thought it was a fantastic film. It’s pretty true to life from what I remember when I read Harrer’s White Spider and a jolting reality about what can go wrong on a mountain.

I’ve never been the kind of person who wanted to bag a big first ascent or really push the limits but I was holding my 3-month old daughter as I watched it and looking down at her while she was sleeping was a vivid reminder of the risks you take whenever you climb mountains.

I promise I’ll be safe Juniper.

The Beer Junction in West Seattle

The Beer Junction in West Seattle:

After reading about the Beer Junction on the Washington Beer Blog I was excited to check it out. The owner dropped his gig as a CPA and decided to start a beer store. That is badass.

The store has a great selection and it’s organized by style which makes it easy to find what you’re looking for. Bottleworks organizes by country which is also cool, but I thought styles were better. And the Beer Junction has nice little flags so you can instantly tell which country your beer came from.

The owner was really nice and the beer seemed much more reasonably priced than similar offerings at various Ballard grocery stores. Is it worth the drive from Ballard to West Seattle? Yeah, but only if you’re already going that way. I do think it’s better than Bottleworks though. Just wish it wasn’t so far away.

I love maps. I hope I was a cartographer in a past life. There’s something cool about being able to visualize “place”.
