The Alps summer season begins...
After a tumultuous winter season of late snow falls, consulate visits and shattered elbows I have made it on and through the spring of healing and learning to begin the summer season here in Chamonix ,France.
Eating well
and reeducating the limb and mind have been my priorities these last months and it seems to have paid off well with my french language skills not so very bad and my arm being able to extend to at least 20% off of full extension --- remember my full arm span now.. it's almost like I have a normal ape index now!!
I've been able to get back to a reasonable 6a grade in rock climbing and the legs can still carry me on a consistent 500m ascent rate; not bad for a 3 month hiatus from much physical activity!!
Good attitude and inspiring friends go a long way let me tell you.
And so tomorrow I start my first guiding trip into the hills for the season... let it begin!!!!
