Climbed a couple of more mountains on Sunday and Monday and am looking at actual training plans for rock climbing so I can work towards some bigger goals. And for the fun of it. Training should be fun!

Online dating though, sucks, it sucks a lot. I've been ghosted about 5 times now where I even get the persons' phone number, have a good conversation, make plans, and then never hear from them again. It's insane. I've gone on one amazing date with someone I'm still regularly talking to/flirting with but the problem is...she's only up here on long weekends/holidays/etc., as she's from up here, but is in an accelerated nursing program 8 hours south of here. So I don't know what to do about that. Easily and far away the person I'm most interested in and has the most commonality with. Kind of crushing in a poetic way.

Sigh.

Here's the big scary dream mountain range I'd like to climb in the next 5 years or so.

Working backwards I need to:

1 - work my trad rock climbing lead abilities up to probably 5.11a/b from 5.9/5.10a. (lot of work)

2 - learn how to aid climb (lot of work)

3 - go on at least one smaller expedition that's more in the 1 week timeline as opposed to 3 and a half weeks
