Mindset

It’s taken me a long time to realize that this phrase unlocks my peace and helps me live with curiosity, self-reflection, and rhythm in my environment. Last weekend, I climbed alone and didn’t see another person all day (though I did spot some large mountain lion tracks at 10K feet). Sixteen miles round trip, cutting in untouched trail through dense snow that felt like cement. I turned back about a thousand feet below the summit. I didn’t bring the right safety gear this time

... and still found three dawns to disappear into the mountains. Three solo days. Nearly 50 miles. More than 23,000 feet of vertical. Three to four summits each day. I like to stack nearby peaks and test both endurance and recovery. Instead of early meetings, I drove off-road to remote trailheads. No teams. No cameras. No noise. Just endurance meeting elevation. My favorite combination. I don’t climb for adrenaline. I climb for perspective: the same thing I chase in the work
