We upgraded the $30 skis, and I won't have to skin 2-3 hours to pirate lifts, or walk 5 hours to get to some refuges any more, thanks to having the annual lift pass. I ended the bumpy first real winter "alpinism" season with tears, shin bangs, fried nerves and zero tolerance for the cold (and Covid) which enlightened me to a new level of suffering. Hopefully the buddhist saying of wisdom in suffering holds true to the craft of cold mountain play. 🏔️🤞🏼📸 @oskarlindby That time I had a moment of clarity and flew home to the US to live with my biological dad for the first time. I'd never spent more than two weeks with him at a time in 30 years, and at 80 he was very slowly recovering from a heat stroke, and living alone. It was deeply meaningful to spend hours cleaning and organize his project-cluttered little abode, spend hours alone running in the hills and training, then celebrating the holidays. I haven't appreciated moments like these as much as I should, and I sure as hell look forward to getting French residency so I can do leave the country and do this again. Especially because I'll be close to Yosemite again, my childhood crush 😍 @oskarlindby dug out his camera, since both our phone cameras are bugging. MBB's youth project made it into French climbing @grimpermagazine! ❤️ Give this project love! "Guerreras will capture the untold story of the female climbing community in Colombia and challenge the audience to consider how their own identities intersect with their climbing experiences while simultaneously glimpsing the reality of an underrepresented demographic within the climbing world – Latina climbers." "The Italian" My little win in the bouldering cave today. El clásico Chamonix Cosmic Traverse aujourd'hui! Tak so mycket @oskarlindby for being patient while I took 30 minutes to gather my nerves and walk down the very exposed snowy ridge steps for the first time since Spring. The first morning of our youth empowerment / cultural exchange project "Speak Up".
