You are listening to the Enormo Cast.

Consider the belayer.

Steadfast and sure-footed, the belayer is a breed-apart.

Often taken for granted, the belayer literally saves your life every single time you pun.

And let's face it, that's a lot of disasters averted.

Loyal and smart, whether it's the first time you've said take or the 100th,

the belayer sits back and holds you right where you want to be while you brush that hold one more

time. Even though both you and your trusty belayer know it ain't gonna change a god damn thing.

The belayer just smiles and says, dude, you totally got it next time.

Even though there's no way on God's green earth you will in fact get it next time.

So maybe it's time to honor the unsung hero of your journey with a fine gift from Peter W. Gilroy.

Peter, a belayer himself, knows what a trinket or a sweet splitter hat.

The ones with the mountain inspired titanium badges will do for a worn out belayer spirit when

you've been riding them hard. Artful jewelry and accessories can be found at peterwglroy.com

for your belayer or any partner you've been forgetting to appreciate during that singular haze of

the next burn. So consider your belayer and peterwglroy.com. One day you might look down and

they'll be gone. Eating that sandwich they've been thinking about since you took on the second

bolt an hour ago. And don't forget to enter Enormo at checkout for a discount to help this darn podcast.

I couldn't sleep. I'm checking the ropes. There was a frayed end on your hope and I'm cutting it out.
