2012 was a good year, full of activity. This spring I canyoneered or climbed or adventured almost every weekend until moving from Phoenix in May. Then, I travelled to Sweden, and throughout the Rocky Mountains until September. In September, I moved to Golden, CO with Kendra and Sagar, where Sagar and I started a business.
Things that happened in 2012 (in no particular order):
- Grand Canyon trip with Kendra, in which it snowed and we saw no-one else
- Travelled to Sweden
- Ran two half marathons
- Climbed Devil’s Tower
- Climbed Gannet Peak and Grand Teton (removing both from the list of peaks who have rejected me)
- Saw my Dad run the Boston Marathon
- Saw Chris Thile perform in Carnegie Hall (with Kendra)
- Quit my job
- Moved to Colorado
- Paddled Class IV water
- Placed in the top ten at Pond Mile 5
- Learned to ski bumps (well, kinda!)
- Learned to bake (still working on this one!)
- Climbed in Indian Creek
- Welcomed Kanye, my chinchilla, to my life
- Travelled El Camino del Diablo with Kendra and Curtis
- Climbed both the tallest and highest sand dunes in North America
- Became a Wilderness First Responder, and Swiftwater Rescue Technician
- Started a new business
What a year full of activity, full of adventure! I’ve been less productive than I hoped, but finishes happier than I had dared to hope.
