I like it, and its oddly homoerotic.

Gay??? Just because you got into Hayden's pants doesn't mean the story is gay... It means you are gay...

Sensitive and heartfelt, yet strangely vapid in its oversimplifications of a big boy finally figuring out life but still feeling a little bit sorry for himself. As for sexual orientation, I'm not sure if these are the words of an empathetic gay man in touch with his own feelings:

"While I wanted to get lucky in Kentucky, the idea of trapping myself in a place where most genetic characteristics go to die, scared me."

Nice photos but tedious, like most 'climbing' writing. Why dress it up with so much personal revelation?
