About Us

Hello! I’m Jake Harmer and this is the place I go when I’m not in the mountains/deserts (or tethered to my cubicle). My wife Katherine and I write articles on this site to share the knowledge we’ve acquired and practiced over the years. If you like rock climbing, rappelling, and canyoneering, this is the place for you!

While we provide useful information about how to perform these activities, we recommend that you seek out professional training certifications before guiding yourself. This site is owned and operated by In Our Lovely Desert, LLC.
