Settled in under a hanging glacier, more waterfalls than you can count, and no one else around for miles.

To be alone in a place like this… At the end of the day we have to learn who we are when no one else is around.

The challenge, the struggle, it’s all part of the journey. Stay the course, follow your path.

Good things take time. We lay the groundwork through days, months, even years, eventually seeing some parts come to fruition, and some fall away. The journey of life is a perpetual transition and growing process.

Anyone for some warm water missions?

More and more the term exploration doesn’t need to mean the act of accessing of places that no human has ever been before, rather it is searching for the inner examination that happens when traveling and seeing places that are new to you.

Don’t worry, everything is fine.

When I stared this journey, someone told me that I couldn’t make this work. This career, this lifestyle, they told me I wouldn’t make it work. From that day on I knew my path was to show that it could be done. Not to show that only my path, but any path that someone decided was important and impactful in their own life. My goal in life is to uplift others, that they can know that our best selves are what will create the best opportunity for goodness, creativity, life and love, for one another and this little rock we all call home in our own way.

See you soon.

One of the best comments I heard last night: “dusk is underrated”, and I have to agree.

Nearing the ridge line, we weren’t sure what we would find. The original route didn’t have anywhere near enough ice to climb, so this route became our backup option. I took a lot away from this day out, mainly that I want to do more trips where we don’t know what exactly we’re getting into, not knowing the route and what we would find became the test that I was looking for.

Certain things we do in life take commitment. They are difficult or can be scary, but when we find those things we love they are worth doing.

I used to take loads of photos of the night sky, but I haven’t been doing that as much anymore. I’m not sure why exactly, things change, our interests and priorities change, where we focus our energy changes. It’s all good, and having the time to reflect on those changes has been a welcome start to the year.

Uno mas.
