the less time we have, the more valuable it become the less time we have, the more valuable it becomes. it makes no sense to waste time with permanent thoughts, worries, and fears. now you can do something, decide. exactly now is always the right time — words by @reinholdmessner_official this reminder hits a home run for me. I am most aligned with myself, in present time. This is the only moment that matters, and the time I spend with anyone who is in my circle, can feel my presence, and submission into the NOW. I have been having powerful experiences of connection to self by being offline more regularly. There’s the reality of the social media world, and then there’s my personal reality that I am creator of. I am shifting into the personal reality more and more, which is becoming one of the most liberating practices I’ve been in flow with ⚡️ anyway, here’s DAY 3 of our tantalus range trip from August. Summit of mount Serratus with Altus Mtn Guides. 2321m asl, sweeping views of red tusk, alpha, mt dione, rainbow mtn, and so much more. loved this day to the core. crossed some gnarly glacier terrain, making this day the most interesting for me. loved observing the glacier travel methods and being up close and personal with crevasses. humbling, defining, and surreal.
9 august 2021 summit of mt dione 2589m asl - tant 9 august 2021 summit of mt dione 2589m asl - tantalus range - with @altusmtnguides @gnatters & @steffimatty spectacular day in the tantalus range. It was totally t-shirt weather, with a few cold swoops of wind, but otherwise balmy and great to cool off on the glaciers. fantastic day of climbing, glacier crossing, and rappelling. In the evening, we were greeted with a stunning sunset dance of colours, which made the evening a cozy glow, followed by a fantastic dinner prepared by the guides. oh and not to forget, all the fun snacks that powered the day, and kept the energy high ⚡️an epic slip up from one of the guests was ‘Reese’s pe*is’ — yep, that was a solid laugher!! a few technical spots were met where the glacier had receded enough to change up some original route choices with a few technical alternatives. It was definitely nice to have the rope in some of these sections, and super humbling to see how much melt there has been from the warm season we’ve had this year. overall, another fantastic day of taking on new challenges, working as a team, enjoying the sun, the rock, and the ice, and sharing belly laughs over good food.
8 august day one of scaling the tantalus range wi 8 august day one of scaling the tantalus range with @altusmtnguides @gnatters et al. views of mt alpha all day long - clouds dramatically rolling in and out, white out ft bluebird day shifts; climbing, rappelling, glacier crossing, laughs, challenges, & memories for a lifetime. what was most humbling for me was the concept of collective responsibility over each other. I’ve never been roped in and attached to all my team members. matching a team pace, being part of a collective organization of effort & encouragement. excellent experience, a day to remember, and skills to last me a lifetime. this is living. challenge yourself everyday - be it physically, mentally, emotionally, or spiritually. strive to learn your potential, evoke the curiosity within you. quiet the chatter in the PFC (prefrontal cortex), through meditation, b vitamins, stimulate theta waves through softness, stillness, & breath ⚡️
25 July LOTR Part 2 Long day. 15km, 841m ascent. 25 July LOTR Part 2 Long day. 15km, 841m ascent. 2 summits, partly sunny/cloudy made for good hiking conditions. Rugged terrain, lots of boulders, loose silt on our descent. little bit of bush whacking on the way down while temporarily losing trail, but then reconvened with the correct route. few good water sources. awesome lakes to swim in and rinse that bug spray & sunscreen business off. another annual group camp out for the books.
24 July LOTR Part 1 11km, 1100m ascent. beautiful 24 July LOTR Part 1 11km, 1100m ascent. beautiful region of the Tolkien Range. very buggy, lots of wildflowers, & a steep trail all the way to the lake. this was our annual group hike, and it couldn’t have been more of a success than it was! we covered a solid handful of peaks, enjoyed our own individual paces, got eaten alive by skeeters, and enjoyed many lake dips. we scored the second lake to ourselves, and enjoyed a wholesome evening chatting, playing bocce, and sharing snacks over dinner.
2 August solo summit. 30+ km day, 10hrs, 2100+m g 2 August solo summit. 30+ km day, 10hrs, 2100+m gain hot, sun exposed day, some snow travel, track & no-track, ending with lake dip with a final jogging descent through fields of wildflowers. this is living. crossed paths with a couple I met on Deeks peak in the early season. They gave me an extra sandwich they had, on what was a particularly very difficult day in the mtns for me. The day resulted in frostbite, frostnip, and an owl attack. the triple entente of hiking mishaps. I learned. A lot. —— 🌈 mtn
1 August // not a peak! but a little trail run dur 1 August // not a peak! but a little trail run during august long. ran into an old high school acquaintance, got eaten by black flies and horseflies, swam (a lot), and stopped at roadside farm stands 🥰
31 July It was meant to be smoky this day, but it 31 July It was meant to be smoky this day, but it wasn’t so bad along the Duffy. I ran into this couple more than one year ago and a poorly marked trail. Only now is that trail getting better reviews and I hear it’s well marked. We exchanged contacts, and I never wrote them back. It was a poor move on my side, but we got a chance to reconvene and the universe brought us together once again. We don’t always need to know why things happen the way they do. The universe has its ways, and we’ll find out what we need to, when we need to.
