One More Course Under the Belt

I just completed my first course with the 14-15 yr old age group - a 14-day backpacking course. It was a lot easier than I expected, actually. Folks around here don't like to work those courses, but we had an amazing group. They were incredibly mature and very compassionate.

Some of the highlights include:

-leading a trad line at Monitor to set up a TR

-playing with teenagers

-getting great views from high passes

-working with two hilarious female instructors (rare to have 2 on the same course)

-sleeping under the stars

-seeing real change and hearing thoughtful insight from the students
