The Lord's Day of Rest, No, Not so much!

I've been a little slow posting this one as I'm still in digestion mode....digesting that we did what we set out to do and it went so well, digesting all the things I learned about myself, my gear and my abilities, but even more than digesting, enjoying the FABULOUS GLOW this day has left me with!! So, with that said...welcome to my Sunday.....

When Sherrie said "Let's go big!" I said "YES"....Not even questioning the logistics of the multi-sport day in front of me! Not knowing if the ice was in or what the snow was like, we set out for a day of adventure, testing gear in new ways, and testing our own abilities.




It is a couple hour ski approach to reach the O'Malley Falls ice climb...and it was Blue and HUGE!



So, the ice was in, but now we have to climb it with skis on our back....a new test for both of us! But as Sherrie cruised the first pitch the anxiety and knots in our stomachs quickly dissipated leaving us super glowy to be climbing ice in May!!




Three pitches later and an up and over Sherrie and I stood looking into a gigantic bowl with a long snow gully leading its way to the top of O'Malley.

I don't have a good photo of the ski down from the top of O'Malley. Check Sherrie's blog for that....http://mtngrlinak.blogspot.com/ . But here is a photo of us back at the car....13 and some odd hours later!

So, the day definitely leaves me with those warm fuzzy feelings....but also leaves in a place wanting to be better at all the things that i do.....more efficient, smarter, faster, solid and centered....things to work on and things to improve upon on many aspects of life!
