Lander, Wyoming is a special place. A place I’ve spent about a week there, every year for the last 4 years. My first year attending I went with my partner in crime and had the greatest time; we were both keynote speakers and climbed every day till our hearts content. My second year, I missed my partner in crime because he wasn’t anymore. It was difficult, but I walked the streets reminiscing the memories from the year before with a wonderful little sister figure of mine. We laughed until we cried day after day. She even helped me teach one of my clinics too. My third year I missed my little sister figure because she was no longer with us on earth. I walked the streets reminiscing, crying, and missing her and other friends who had lost their lives that year. I could barely climb because of my shoulder recovery too. If I’m going to be completely honest, I wasn’t far away from hating climbing at that moment in my life. Finally, my fourth year, this year, I’ve found myself again. I was able to thoroughly enjoy the @climbersfestival and all it has to offer without tears, but instead with gratitude for all my memories that this place has given me. The wild flowers were popping so vibrantly like I had never seen before, and that made me feel even more peaceful in my heart. Spending the weekend with dear friends, @michaelhauck @chellehoffman and @mgclimber1 as well as the whole @adidasterrex crew really was good for the soul. So, growth is pretty cool. And it’s really fun to think about our journeys because it really helps us see where we came from, where we have been and where we are directed.
