My last weekend in Washington was amazing for a whole lot of reasons, but on the climbing side of things we had some major group sendage that happened at Little Si! I am grateful for any trip to the northwest gem that the Snoqualmie area is, but it was especially cool to share one last, unexpected climbing day with good friends, sunny skies, and great ascents! We all decided to drag Dom to Little Si one more time, and I'm glad we did; Lisa dispatched her project Psychosomatic, 5.12d, Jimmy, Dom, and I sent Dairy Freeze, 5.12b, and I finally got the redpoint of my project Propaganda, 5.12c! This line, which follows the black streak in the photo, is one of the more sustained sport climbs I've done - it's difficulties are matched by it's quality of movement and rock aesthetic - a classic at Little Si for sure. I look forward to coming back to climb the extension - Black Ice, 5.13b/c- one day.

After a full day of climbing, to top things off, all had a good time at Micah's going-away party in Seattle - e.g. drinking out of a 64 fl oz Das Boot at bar 1 of 3 on the night! I marveled that evening at how many good people I know that truly make the northwest great. Quality people, quality place, quality vibes. I left this summer - my last of undergrad- full of gratitude for all the memories! Now time for my long-awaited senior year of college !
God Bless You .
