Instagram post 2124938802023894194_406514991 The photos and beautiful words of @mc.kathryn from the girls team @arrows_2021 as she blazed her own trail this summer in addition to her #summerwildernesstrip! “Mt. Rainier. Spoiler alert: no summit. A storm was starting to roll in and the team had to turn back, about 2000 feet from the summit. But I have a different story to tell. . The evening before the summit push, at our high camp around 11,000 feet, I was at my physical limit. Getting there had taken everything I had, and summitting would mean another 3,000 very steep feet up, in the dark, and then nearly 10,000 feet down all in the same day. I didn’t have it in me. And to be honest, my mental game wasn’t there either. At @explore_austin we talk about the comfort zone, stretch zone, and freak out zone. I was solidly in my stretch zone just getting to high camp, and the thought of going further put me into my freak out zone. Not a good place to be on a mountain with very real objective hazards to deal with. So I decided that high camp would be it for me. . I immediately felt good about my decision, and a few days later I still do. I came to Mt. Rainier to push myself both physically and mentally, and I definitely got that. I learned a ton, had a great time, and saw some of the most amazing views of my life. And I left inspired and motivated to keep up the work of pushing my mental and physical limits - something I had gotten lazy about over the last year or two. A HUGE thank you to @erinlynngood for inviting me and giving me the opportunity to share this experience together.”
