Up to snow good... ❅ ❅ ❅

Not my prettiest climbing, but I worked past my fear of the dynamic movements, so that’s pretty satisfying. 🦎 • This time last year I sprained several ligaments in my knee during a climbing comp. Of course, I heard a loud POP and felt a numbing sensation, though continued to climb on it. For months, I could hardly walk without pain and went to physical therapy for the first time. Now, as I try to get back into climbing shape, I have this fearful inner dialogue that wants me to avoid injury at all cost. I worry this will deter me from pushing myself athletically. Has anyone gone through something similar? How did you overcome it? 🤔 #womenwhoclimb

We took a trip down to Colorado for a conference. Of course, none of these photos are from said event. 🤗 • 📍Ancestral lands of the Cheyenne, Arapaho, Ute and Sioux tribes.

From #hikertrash to #fancyfolk. Y’all... it is weird to transition back into “society.” All that talk of post trail blues is true, true, & very true. I feel adrift. We’ve been writing cover letters, applying for jobs, sweating through Skype interviews, and this week I’m making myself present at a conference. 🙈 It is weird going from the attitude of I-am-who-I-am-and-I-feel-no-shame to feeling like I need to present myself well and PROVE myself to others. 😩 #whatislife #pctig #thruhikersforeva

Pacific Crest Trail ↟ ☞ STATS ☜ - becuz people keep asking for ‘em! ✧ Tuna Butter and I spent 150 days on Trail ✧ We took 19 “zero” days & 11 “nearo” days (anything less that 9.9 miles) ✧ Averaged 18.5 mi a day for 2,650+ miles ✧ Averaged 25.5 mi in Oregon ✧ We hiked an avg of 8-9 hrs a day, and 10 hrs a day throughout OR ✧ Our longest days were 35 miles ✧ We spent about $1,000 a month on mostly food, restaurants, & unexpected expenses ✧ I gained 5-7 lbs and Tuna lost ~10 ✧ My baseweight was around 12 lbs to start and probably got lighter or hovered around the same? Idk, I ditched my kindle & other random items and started cold soakin’, but also acquired a bear can and another long sleeve in the Sierra. 🤔 • Who else used to dance along to @sixflags commercials?? 🙋🏻‍♀️ • #sillysummitdance

Life Update: so we’re low key living in the shed our friends built for their #moonboard, playing really intense board games, and trying to build arm muscle while we figure out what’s next. 🤷🏻‍♀️ But hey, Amos has construction gigs 🔨 to help him afford all the dang donuts he eats, even though I’ve told him many times the war is over. (Come home son!). #posttraillife #yetstillhikertrash
