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.

I reunited with Patrick at the climbing gym after a month apart, which provided a good opportunity to catch up and climb together. I enjoyed leading a few routes without pushing my limits, finding the moderate workout satisfying and noting the climb was not too challenging. I successfully tackled cracks and a route rated 11A or 11B, which reassured me of my climbing skills, contrasting with the less meaningful satisfaction I get from bouldering. Overall, the session was a moderate effort that was enjoyable, particularly because it allowed me to spend time with Patrick again.
I had an amazing day highlining today. Woke up early, and Jim encouraged me to go first on the line. Managed to take eight steps, which I'm pretty stoked about, though I always wish I could do more. It feels incredible to make progress and identify areas for improvement. One key takeaway is needing to stand straighter and address my tendency to fall to the left. Breakfast was a Starbucks sandwich and some oatmeal by my car, and lunch was just Clif Bars, with dinner still undecided. The highlight was getting on the freestyle line and achieving 10 steps despite the challenge. I haven't checked the videos yet but am looking forward to seeing them. It was also great to catch up with my friend Ray and appreciate Jim's support. There was a solid presence of friends, including Courtney, Kristen, Dane, Juan, Rudy, Jessa, and Daniel, whom I initially met in Joshua Tree. Overall, it was a fantastic day, filled with learning, progression, and good company.
