What A Year It Was

While everybody else is busy recapping the top posts of 2008 on their blogs, I’ve been thinking about what a stellar year it was for us and climbing. Despite an extended winter (and epic ski season), we got to visit and climb at many excellent places over the course of the year. Penitente, Maple Canyon, Yosemite Valley, The Tetons, Slick Rock, Black Canyon, Indian Creek, Zion, Colorado National Monument, Independence Pass, Wall Street, Mill Creek, The Black Cliffs, Coal Creek, The Narrows, The F-Pan, Hagerman Pass, Glenwood Canyon, Maroon Bells, Cathedral Peak, Grizzly Peak, La Plata…

There are so many things I don’t understand in this world, like why I was born into a land of so many opportunities while others merely struggle to survive, but I do know that I am thankful for the gift of every new day, and especially thankful for the time I get to spend in so many beautiful places.

Here’s to an exciting and adventurous 2009!
