Jarring Transitions

It’s snowing in Bozeman right now. Hard.

Last month I landed in the Portland International Airport in a rainstorm in near-darkness at 4:30 PM. Less than a day before I was sport climbing in a t-shirt at 8:00 PM at a crag in Coyhaique, Chile.

International travel is weird. Austral Summer is rad. Transitions are hard.

I’m finally finishing sorting through some of the video I shot while working for NOLS Patagonia on a Spring Mountain Section. I’ll let the video summarize the experience:

I also shot a bunch of photos:

Snack Breaks
Pyramidae Summit
Glaciar Calluqueo
Dry Glacier
Evening light on the San Lorenzo icefall

After being on the move for what actually has been a few years now, I decided I needed to not-move for a few months. So I unloaded my truck in a friend’s basement in Bozeman, MT with the intent of cooking food, going to the gym actually regularly and ice climbing and skiing a bunch. A friend and I are putting plans together for an Alaska Range expedition in late April. Thanks for peepin!
