A few notes to self from up here >>
Note to self: the long days go faster with good people in front of you. Poles out, quality chat on, the legs sort themselves out.
Note to self: actually stop. Not a glance over the shoulder, a proper stop. 360 degrees of exactly why you are here.
Note to self: everyone’s got their secret weapon in their pocket for a reason. Long day, fuel right. Nobody bonks on purpose.
Note to self: local carbs are a love language. Also bring backup. The treats and the gel aren’t enemies, they’re a team.
Note to self: you are very small out here and that’s the best part. Rock, green, sky, quiet. The mountain doesn’t care about your PB. Weirdly freeing.
Note to self: fuel before you need it, not when you’re already cooked. Ask me how I know.
Note to self: sitting down is a tactic, not a weakness. 5 minutes, a gel, a look around, then up you get.
Note to self: always listen to your guide. One hand on the cable. Do not, under any circumstances, let go of the cable. That’s the whole note.
Note to self: stop and smell the roses. Berry gel, old stone everywhere, legs finally quiet. The best days end slow.
More field notes from the loop to come.
