Where have I been?

Its been a while since I last blogged. The longest time since I started this blog actually. Well I haven't gone away. I just haven't had much to write about climbing-wise. Since last time I blogged about Fossil Rock the weather hasn't really allowed for much climbing. Also this winter I've been doing some other activities. I got a mountain bike which has been fun, I can see myself getting into it. And I've also gotten into skiing, its so much fun! I've got my own gear now and a season pass to white pass next winter, I'm already looking forward to it.

But my psyche for climbing is in full force right now. I was just planning out my last couple of months of lessons at school, and it dawned on me how close summer is! I'm brainstorming trip ideas, I think I'm going to stay stateside, but there are a lot of places to climb within a 1000 mile (or so) radius of here. More on that in another post.

I have been loving my first year of teaching, not only because my students are so awesome! But also because my school is so supportive of me teaching what I want. This winter I taught PE once a week, and took the kids to the Warehouse Rock Gym. It was so much fun! Some of the kids had real potential, I had to try my hardest when we did the toprope races! I tried to get photos of me in teacher mode, but my students aren't the best photographers.

In a couple of days I've got a week off for spring break, the weather looks iffy, but right now I think I may be able to sneak a trip to Vantage and Smith. I feel like I've got a few months of climbing energy stored up in me. Thinking about all the climbing I'm going to do this summer definitely makes the late nights at school so much more worth it. Speaking of which, I better get back to work.
