Via ferrata- on top of the world!

So turns out we might be terrible dirtbags.... We moved into a retro trailer complete with floral curtains, electricity and a working stove!

There are people here climbing at all levels from pros sending some of the hardest routes in the world (Alex Megos and Adam Ondra have both sent projects since we have been here) to beginners just learning. The most motivating part is everyone is psyched for each other no matter their ability. In the last few days we have worked on routes with people from all over the world, speaking a mix of Spanish, French, Finnish, English and charades. Now that the jet lag has passed, we are starting to feel adjusted to the late days and the long run outs the climbing gets more fun, the falls get bigger and the energy grows! For two lades who have spent most of their time at Smith I can’t imagine a better style of limestone climbing than the Demi Lune wall. Vertical, technical, pocketed limestone, streaked in a palate of rainbow colors. Today we rest and tomorrow we head to the Cascade sector for some steep climbing!

The future lies before us beautiful, unmarred, full of possibility. Every day we wake up, new to this world. Every day we wake up with a choice to work towards, to strive for that which will bring meaning and beauty to this one existence, this one chance, this one story of experience, love and life. We have one chance to write this novel, one chance for the greatest story of all time. Never forget a choice exists every day. Every morning we wake up with the possibility to shift the story, to write a new chapter, to work towards whatever happy ending we envision. Our story is going to be an adventure novel. So here begins the new chapter. Adventure of the KatBurd chapter one

We don't sell beer (yet...), but we do have new shirts: http://bit.ly/1qWpH4n
