actually this is the first time i've been to cali. i had a job offer in mammoth a couple years back for the start of some seasonal work, but for various reasons decided to turn it down. but here i am... this time a little further south than i would have been: bishop. the rock here is sharp, but mostly pretty positive (which i like). had a good first tour yesterday of the buttermilks, hitting up some of the classics, i guess. most everything here is pretty high. i was only a little freaked out on one yesterday, which was the tallest thing i did. it wasn't even that hard, just really crimpy and foot-trustworthy. the feet didn't feel trustworthy though; they felt polished, if not just slick. but all in all, i held it together and finished it out.
it's good to challenge the head from time to time. my body knows its limits, but my head does not; not as of late anyway. i've had some pretty trying times up high this year, and getting older (i'm far from being an invincible teen), the risks weigh heavier than personal glory i can imagine. battles are fought and war is waged, and currently no battle will be fought without absolute belief in future victory.
i don't have access to my photos right now (no wireless today -just library computer access), but as soon as i get them i'll be sure to post the beauty that is the present chapter in my roadtrip life.
love and nutella for all
pictures. stat.
