So I am in the process of planning our next climbing trip. Will this one happen? Only time will tell.
I have not spent as much time in the mountains the last few months as I would have liked, well no time acutally! It has definately not been due to a lack of planning though. I have made plans days, weeks and months in advance. The problem is getting everybody together at a time that works for the greater good (wich is of course, me getting into the hills!!). There are 4 guys that I climb with on a semi-regular basis, 1 of which is my main climbing partner. Rick and I have the same days off, therefore we are able to coordinate our climbs fairly well. The problem is that Rick has this idea in his head now that he wants to “better” himself! He has gone back to school and is now working on his bachelors degree! So now here I am, Rick has little to no time right now, Darrel works an opposite shift than I, and Josh has just been way too busy. What are these guys thinking? Obviously they are not thinking about how I feel!! School? Family? Work? Come on!! Climbing should come before all!! (ok, before we get too far into this, I am joking, sarcasm and I are one!)
With all my buddies busy all the time, I am wondering if I am making these plans in vain. Oh well, even if we aren’t able to climbing middle sister next month, at least I will have fun planning to do it! I’ll just have to keep pictures from last years trip handy, just in case!
