The Sherwins: Redemption!

I'm back from the Sherwins and received the redemption I so desperately sought. It was a fantastic and safe run, despite the avalanche danger being moderate. Brando and I used common sense and the things we learned from the avalanche clinic to minimize the risk as much as possible.

Tonight is round two, as a large group of us plan on hiking up the Sherwins under a full moon starting at around 10pm. I work until 9. We'll be back and asleep by 2am. The next morning I'll get up bright and early and go ice climbing. Hopefully I'll get some sleep when I get back from that as I work at 7am on Saturday.

Much of what has kept me alive is knowing my limits and not letting my ego get the better of me. Last year was my first year on ice and I'm still learning. I'm close, but do not feel ready to lead anything hard yet. I'm just at the point where i'm conisdering leading something easy. And thats the rest of the story.
