High Country Impressions

Colorado feels a whole lot different than Utah did. None of that creepy undertone, no halfway other presence hiding just around the next juniper tree. Less apprehensive and solemn. I think I'm going to really miss the ruins in the sage. And I'm certain I'm going to miss the sky and the perspective. This base camp feels kind of cramped in that sense, theres no where to see the sky or the mountains.

Highlights of yesterday evening include getting lost trying to find the bearhang (yes, we do that now). I led a decent CAIG, of relatively low virtue, and that was it. It feels weird to be stepping up and straightening out a little, and actually doing stuff in the shadow of no one. Nice.
