Climbing with the headmaster this afternoon.

“No one, not even a ‘friend,’ can make us better. But it is a great happiness in life to meet a person of quite different construction, different bent, completely dissimilar views who, while always remaining himself and in no wise echoing us nor currying favor with us (as sometimes happens) and not trying to insinuate his soul (and an insincere soul at that!) into our psyche, into our muddle, into our tangle, would stand as a firm wall, as a check to our follies and our irrationalities, which every human being has. Friendship lies in contradiction and not in agreement!”

Note to a letter of Strakhov dated January 5, 1890, in his book Literary Exiles. Via brainpickings.

then I jumped.

Watched The Summit over the weekend. Speechless. And to descend K2 at night with only a headlamp! I have a hell of time just getting from the light switch to my bed in one piece.

Wow! Wow! Wow!

Hiked Eagle Bluffs and Black Mountain. Such a serene landscape and the conditions were perfect. If you are headed up in the next few days, I’d suggest packing a set of microspikes and gaiters. There’s snow in several sections and it’s still quite muddy as you’ll note below! 

I told the gentleman I wanted the biggest, baddest board they had in stock for tonight’s race. Ha! I would have required an additional 7 hours to finish the course paddling this monster.  #TuesdayNightRaces #DeepCove
