Phew. I'm tired, in a good way. I spent the last two days out in the mountains, summitting one of the 100 highest peaks in the state of Washington (my 4th of the year). It was a 21.5 mile trip, camped at the base of glacier, and got my first experience travelling on, up, down, and around a glacier! Anytime you're on a glacier and don't fall in a crevasse is a good one to me, and being able to see them first-hand, finally, was a worthwhile experience. I feel incredibly privileged to be in the outdoors, and especially on the mountains. There's something funny seeing the masses (well, okay, ten or so) people on the way to the more popular pass, and then how things immediately thin out as the hiking to camp gets more difficult. Coincidentally, also much more beautiful. And then, uh, you know, followed that up with a couple of hours worth of rock climbing.

Trying to readjust to work (WHAM is playing on our office radio) and get on-top of other things at home which is a constant battle when this whole mountaineering thing takes up such a large chunk of time when it happens.
