Leave it all behind you, darling (by Abby Kroke)

Squint and you see someone climbing to a summit in the middle of a storm.
I am fully aware this is turning into my personal crap and mountain blog. I’m very ok with that :)

Today I cut down a tree to make a campfire,

the tree’s name was Orlagh she was young and obliging.

She was ok with it I guess, she was just happy just to exist to bring us together.

Summer playlists in cars with wound down windows are fun, trying to cook sausages (badly) at the top of a crag with friends is fun, trying to free solo climb a wall you thought looked easy but you end up getting your harness caught half way up because you’re a derp is not so fun, climbing at night with a head torch is fun, running off a mountain with said friends because you’ve just had an obscene amount of sugar/caffeine is fun, lying on a stone wall to watch the stars and the moon set behind a mountain ridge is fun.

This is a good summer. :)
