GNP Day 10, mentally

Apple Watch on a wrist in the mountains
6:25pm…second attempt at Oberlin.  First attempt a week ago…too much snow.
Mountains
One week ago this was covered in snow.

Enough snow has melted that the ascent is possible….37 minutes to the saddle.

Wow, 61 minutes to the summit. The main reason for this “speed” is zero time spent way finding and/or making/fixing cairns.

Oberlin’s first 2022 summit delayed by snow. Interesting that it was a sunset summit. In 2020, an Oberlin sunset summit earned “the scariest GNP experience ever”.

GNP Day 9, mentally

23-second video: Spotted a Mountain Goat group of 11 on a small snow field high on Piegan Mountain.

While enjoying a scenic lunch, discovered a Mountain Goat family far away.

Finished lunch and started making my way in their direction, as they were making their way towards mine.

GNP Day 8, mentally

9-second video: The answer is always, “It depends”.

True confession…i’ve become a trail snob.

For some reason, trails with few to no people are the best.

Perhaps it’s an acquired taste.

Or maybe it’s a growth mindset.

There is strength in being at ease being alone.

GNP Day 7, mentally

6-second video: Out for a walk, thinking some wise thoughts.

Use gratitude to train yourself to only dwell in positive thoughts.

Note: You are fully aware of the world’s negativity. You understand it exists and why. But it’s never a choice for you. Not any more.

GNP Day 6, mentally

4-second video: On the road again…
8-second video: Perfect mashup.
8-second video: An early start to Day 6.

Not a lot of self-reflection yesterday.

Lots of recall for writing purposes, with all the photos and video descriptions.

Almost no dreaming, creating, inspiring.

Today’s top goal is to fix that.
