Not really a "skim" story. If you have the time, its a good read.

When that article first came out it felt weird to be reading something so personal in a mainstream magazine. The honesty in that article was startling but also really good.
He's been through some wild dark times.

What a nightmare. Avoid the medication, beat the demons back with exercise and counseling. ...... and ...... um... a lot of coffee.

Tough read, especially if you've ever lived through even a fraction of similar difficulties as Matt has. Psych health is everything folks, it can make or break your physical body and your climbing efforts.

The guy sure didn't hold back on the details. Sounded a pretty hellish experience.

I like the 'climbing is selfish, climbing is all about me, climbing is an addiction" lines....I knew I'd like this guy.
