It is always rewarding, although, I felt the pain afterward in a way I hadn&#8217;t before. Too much time at a computer being sedentary is wreaking havoc on my body. Thankfully, I was able to renew my gym membership last week so I can get into proper shape again.<\/p>\n<p>I finally decided to give sleeping outdoors tentless a try while on the Narrows trip. Thankfully, it didn&#8217;t rain and it was an enjoyable experience. I&#8217;ll have to do it more often. I also led my first multi-pitch sport climbs in September (two pitches each). Hopefully, I can start devoting some more time to climbing and advancing my skills.<\/p>\n<p>Work has been pouring in, which is great, but I&#8217;ve had little time for much else. Balancing life and self-employment is a challenge I certainly haven&#8217;t mastered yet. I&#8217;ve completed several projects recently. Some of them will be live soon and posted here for the world to deride.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"alignnone\" title=\"Sleeping Outside\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/chinnymedia.com\/images\/2011\/outdoors\/sleepingoutside001.jpg?resize=625%2C352\" alt=\"Sleeping Outside\" width=\"625\" height=\"352\" data-recalc-dims=\"1\" \/><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Above is a short video encompassing some of the experience of hiking through Subway in Zion National Park\u00c2\u00a0in early September.
