The @protectourwinters Leadership Summit was fantastic. Three days of making new friends & connections, developing skills & knowledge, and building hope. Chaotic stoke. This encapsulates a bit of how these big mountain experiences make me feel — challenged, alive, fulfilled, wrung out. All the things, heightened. Well, I took all of two photos over the entire @runtherut weekend, so you're stuck with having to see @thatdakotajones face. Sorry 🤷‍♂️ It's pretty darn surreal, but in a month I'm heading to Bhutan to run in the Snowman Race! It's a five-day stage race through the Himalayan foothills, across mountain passes up to 18k feet, created specifically to raise awareness of climate change and the devastating impact to fragile mountain ecosystems and beyond. The race is a showcase of this risk and the fire necessity of climate action. For me, the GNP 10ers linkup was more an exploration in perseverance and self-sufficiency than a stake in the sand of what is the fastest possible effort. The aftermath. The GNP 10ers traverse was rough on gear, body, and mind. This has to be the skinniest I've been since I was about fifteen. Yesterday I completed a dream several years in the making. Over six days I linked up the six 10k-plus foot peaks in Glacier National Park — solo and unsupported. Finally got covid, and it absolutely put me on my ass for the past four days. Been feeling like a sack of potatoes and dreaming back to Glacier, back to the glory days when I distinctly did not feel like potatoes. So here's more GNP. Deal with it. After our rainy day of humble pie Sam and I accepted that our original trip was not going to happen, and we elected to skip Cleveland and Merritt in favor of more trail miles and making it to Logan Pass by the end of day three in order to meet with crew and @emilyhawgood and @alexiscrellin who would join us for the final two days.
