The summit is a source of power. The long view gives one knowledge and time to prepare. The summit, by virtue of the dizzying exposure, leaves one vulnerable. A bit of confidence and a dash of humility is all we get for our work. Yet to share these moments with friends is to be human. C. Anker

most of my goals are carryovers from 2020:

1) sub 23:00 5K
2) 2 of the following 3 (don't think i can manage all 3 in the same year)
a) sub 4:00 marathon
b) first 50K
c) Grand Canyon R2R
3) get some more east coast state high points - Mt. Marcy, Mt. Mansfield, Clingman's Dome, Mt. Mitchell, Brasstown Bald, Sassafrass Mt.

also, possibly considering another late summer/early fall CO trip with some 14ers on the agenda, depending on travel/vaccine status

more importantly, the following goals will hopefully be unique to this coming year:
1) stay COVID-free until there's a vaccine
2) get the vaccine
3) try to pay a lot less attention to news/politics.... should be much easier after 1/20

Scott P, impressive list! Hit me up when you are in the La Sals or if you just need a belay slave/ climbing partner on the tech goals.
Rijaca, good vibes sent your way.

He'll be fine; the cancer is in the process of spitting him out. Didn't like the taste... :mrgreen:

Another +1, you can kick it, rijaca! sending healing thoughts your way.
"The love of wilderness is more than a hunger for what is always beyond reach; it is also an expression of loyalty to the earth, the earth which bore us and sustains us, the only home we shall ever know, the only paradise we ever need – if only we had the eyes to see." -Ed Abbey

"I get scared sometimes—lots of times—but it's not bad. You know? I feel close to myself. When I'm out there at night, I feel close to my own body, I can feel my blood moving, my skin and my fingernails, everything, it's like I'm full of electricity and I'm glowing in the dark—I'm on fire almost—I'm burning away into nothing—but it doesn't matter because I know exactly who I am." from The Things They Carried
