GNP Day 12, work

7-second video: Wonder if explorers ever dreamt of a pocket-sized camera (let alone a pocket-sized ”movie” camera).
Four hours up here today. Met Spike (given name) and Adam (from Poland). That’s it. Hidden Lake Trail probably had a thousand or two in those same four hours.

Life is a path.

What we do and how we do on life’s path is ours to orchestrate.

Obviously we must play the hand we are dealt. But at least we get to play a hand.

There is an art to doing a repetitive thing with consistent enthusiasm.

GNP Day 10 work

Apple Watch on a person’s wrist in the mountains
Time-stamping (watch upper right) 7:46pm. Sunset is at 9:30pm. In a perfect world, the goal is to be back at car two-hours before sunset. A little rusty today.
Apple Watch on a person’s wrist in the mountains
Back at car one hour before sunset.
Dark side of a mountain
Even before sunset, darkness announces itself on every mountain’s East side.
Bighorn sheep
Sun still shining on West-facing mountain wall. Oh, and first 2022 Big Horn Sheep sighting.

Do what you fear and the death of that fear is certain.

It was a bold move to do the first 2022 Oberlin summit as a sunset-summit.

In reality, the first attempt, a week ago, was in the morning. Significant snow prohibited the first (normal daytime) Oberlin summit.

By the way, this summit marks 24 total.

Someone once asked, ”How many times have you climbed Oberlin?”

Been keeping track ever since.

GNP Day 9, work

3-second video: Heading my way.
9-second video: Able to sqeeze in one final video of group before leaving them.
5-second video: Making my way up a small incline, discovered one of the 11 seemed to be running interference. i yielded to the message being sent and retreated.

Trust your gut.

Gut said turn and walk away.

It was odd this lone goat was heading my way.

And i read between the lines.
