Another awesome family climbing day at King Philips Spring Wall! It’s incredible what you can do when you set your mind to it. The whole family climbed out the cliff on their first day of outdoor rock, culminating in the 5.8 gem, Springtime!

Another superb day hiking through the Adirondack Mountain Reserve, this time exploring with Eric on some lesser known paths. We loved spending time on the Gill Brook Trail up to Indian Head, then to Rainbow Falls and the West River Trail. If you like chasing waterfalls, this 10-mile route is for you!

@matt Not too surprised that the Apple-centric blogs I read only mentioned Apple Pay, but I am curious on how popular Samsung/Google Pay are relative to their market share. Are they doing Tap-to-Pay transactions at the same rate as Apple Pay users? Any insight as someone in the industry?
