I've been bouldering 2-3 times a week on rock for about 6 months, in idyllwild then the high Sierra and now bishop. Took a few weeks off when I was pretending to be a runner, but almost always by myself, with my wee pad and water bottle and head phones.
Got a job so been waking up and climbing pre-sunrise to get a session in the happies. It's been surreal to see this magical area during the most beautiful parts of the day and experience the climbs truly solo - I'll get frustrated and ask Ruppel beta (thanks bro!) or check youtube, but it's fulfilling to know when I topped a problem that it was an experience I owned absolute.
The feeling I get when on big ridge scrambles, or trying to solo a wall, or before the sun warms the volcanic pockets...I'm drawn to it because i know that I did it.
At the end of the day the only interpretation of the experience was mine, and like reading a book but never seeing the movie my imagination runs wild.
The harder problems feel like slaying the Dragon and I'm often left bruised and defeated under their girthy undersides.... But for some reason I love it.
Mid-afternoon from a rare visiting friend, part of a beautiful set of pictures she took on a bad ass road trip:

Took the gear for a walk but it was kind of soggy so we just decided to work the sh#t outta this project up in the little smoke bluffs instead that we have dubbed "blunt arête" due to its bluntness & proximity to the neo classic RyanD stoner problem called roaches corner. We slapped & crimped & hucked our little hearts out but it's still there waiting for someone with the smooth moves.
Here's Kyle thinking about stepping up to the mantel on roaches corner. Thinking was as far as he got today, next time.
