Together we go, and together we get back to Mother Nature. ❤️❄️

The huge hike up the mountain, shit got real really quickly. The wind's howling, the snow's moving, and it's kind of an adrenaline rush. It starts slowly, right? You're like, oh, this isn't so bad. And then you get to that one point where you turn and go left up the mountain, and that's when, yeah, it's okay, like, you really have to dig in here. You really have to listen to your instructors. You really have to breathe deep, and you go to a different place mentally, and you're checking in on your partner and kind of your people around you. I think about that often, that little voice in your head, you can't do that, or maybe you shouldn't do this, or— it's almost gone now, it's muted. Like, if I've done something that extreme, I know I can do other things.
