trying to be strong

well well... i do believe i may have made peace with the cessation of the roadtrip. i'm getting excited about the unknown life ahead of me settling in squamish... i'd love to find work just to make it through a very simple summer. this is sort of an extension of my roadtrip, but since i'm in canada i can still work. this is a good thing, and not a bad thing. at first i was really scared that all the advancement i have made on this roadtrip would be suddenly lost and i'd be living that incredibly cushy life again in canada.

not so.

after checking my finances, i've realized that i'm almost done with the Roadtrip Reserve Funds. so i'm going to have to take whatever work i can find in squamish. my past career doesn't exist there, so i'll probably still be a climber bum of some calibre.

climbing has been going well. to put it simply, i'm trying again. i was feeling a bit discouraged and down for a bit while i sorted through the end of the roadtrip. now i'm determined to climb as hard as i can and what better place to do it but in bishop? this place has a number of different places to boulder, and each location has its own personality. i don't think i'll be doing much roped climbing here, but how happy am i to climb the overhangs at the happys?

some of my real friends from hueco have reentered my life, and i actually have a bit of a routine with who i climb with. it's amazing the people you end up seeing again. i find myself running into people that i met once a long time ago, and then there are the friends that i've made where we try to see each other again later on our respective roadtrips.
