A momentary break in my pleasantly uniform, 3:2, horizontal Instagram scheme because "Perfectionism looks good in his shiny shoes but he's a little bit of an asshole and no one invites him to their pool parties." Plus @benowensphotography is so talented and I worked hard to be strong.

I would like to challenge that statement, sir, but nonetheless this was last year today when the summit tent stood on the briefly sunny tippity top of Mount Rainier! It was sunny at the bottom, at the top and at the bottom again, but about nowhere in between. Here's to my continuing alpine education. Baker, we've got our eyes on yewwwwww. 🗻

When your PD turns into an AD+ ... and your "Basic Mountaineering" course ain't so basic anymore ... and you're turned around 50 meters shy of the teeny-tiny squishy summit... don't forget your camera battery at home!!!! 🤦‍♀️🤤🙄

A wild ride with the fine folks at the @accvancouver this weekend on Mt. Matier. I learned so much about the sport and am still digesting all the brain stretching and life lessons learned along the way. In the words of @robszpak, "Mountaineering is bullshit... but I love it."

The perks of freezing: God rays and golden hours.

"Ok now this time, start laying on your back with your head towards the bottom. Once you start sliding, flip over and plunge your ice axe into the snow. Your body will orient naturally. Then drive your axe in harder. Mind your face. Any questions?"

Freaking AMAZING weekend on a mountaineering skills course with @accvancouver. Here, we are practising self-arrest -- how to save yourself when falling down a steep slope. Feet first. On your belly. Backwards on your back. All forms of falling. I hope to never do this in real-life but practice was pretty fun. Next week, Mt. Matier. #selfarrest

What does it mean to be lit? Just ask anyone who went to @campyoga BC...

"Wow wow wow....... the most amazing weekend with the most inspirational people. I loved every minute of the classes I took, the beautiful new friends I met and the time to chill out! I laughed, I cried (and cried again today), I tried new things, I danced and I got outside my comfort zone!”
.
"I can't stop talking about it! I think people are getting annoyed....hehe. Seriously, I really think that this was one of the best weekends I have had! I can't believe how many truly meaningful connections I made. I feel so recharged and refreshed and I have all of you to thank! Thank you for shaking your booty with me all weekend! I love you all so much for it........sniff sniff.”
.
"Words can't even describe how full my heart is and how life changing and eye opening this weekend has been. Thank you to EVERYONE for opening your hearts, putting your fears on the table, and just cultivating such beauty, peace, kindness, mindfulness, sweatiness, support, FUN!!!!!! and so much more.”
.
"I came in with the intention to recharge my soul, and came out with a fuller heart, a deeply happy soul, and many beautiful connections!"
.
"Thank you. I needed that.”

#CampYoga BC was the definition of LIT. I am so inspired by last weekend and so grateful to be a part of this special event. What a community! Onwards and eastward and then westward again. @chesleylong look what you’ve done!
