I got out for another nice session alone at Frankenstein this morning. The wind was calm, the temperature was in the single digits, and the sun came up as I neared the top of Standard Route. A better start to a day (and a year) doesn’t exist. I made it to work just after 9 a.m. Perfect.

I’m working on a post about what it means “to be a climber,” based on a thread on NEIce.com, but that won’t be up until at least tonight. For now, if you want to read about climbing, check out Climberism.
