Comment: Details

Transcript: A few just extra little tidbits was this is my first time ever going to the north entrance of Joshua Tree, I believe, and the cliffs there were remarkably accessible, extremely quiet, there was like no one there, and I personally enjoyed that a lot. I went for a little scramble by myself, and boy, that scramble was so good for me. Like, I honestly wish I could just scramble for another like hour or two and no one would ask questions, you know? And I did it barefoot, and that was an interesting experience just to get to see like what does it feel like to be a barefoot human walking on rocks, you know? And then I climbed the 5a barefoot as well, so yeah, just an interesting little experience of an afternoon, but that was something that I really wanted to highlight. And also just how funny people are, like had a great experience like with Sarah and everyone today, but man, like people are, people are funny sometimes, so yeah, just a nice day.
