Flew down the last 3.5 miles. In another week, watch out. 🥳
Man’s feet soaking in a creek
Iced the lower legs and feet. Ate the brown-bag trail lunch.
8-second video: Some context for location.
12-second video: Fun stuff.

Taking care of yourself can be artful.

No ice for medicinal purposes?

Just use what’s around you.

This was a perfect way to artfully mitigate feet, ankle, tendons, and muscle swelling/soreness.

Disney figurines in the mountains
Looking West. Part of 10-mile long Lake McDonald in the middle.
Disney figurine in the
Looking East. Standing at 7,500’. Almost predictably, alone. Surrounded by 1,000,000 acres of National Park. Which is surrounded on all sides by several more millions of acres of wilderness.
14-second video: A favorite spot amongst many favorites.
28-second video: Beaver Chief Falls is 1,300’.
Mountains
Stunningly simple beauty.

In 2-plus hours, one couple visited.

Can a person lead a life that requires no vacation?

Only one person is qualified to answer that.

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.

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.
