Ice Climbing

Today might have been the last day of Ice Climbing till who knows when! But, I just wanted to share my experiences with it. I had a blast with everyone in my group. I, sometimes, wanted to kill  a few of them but nevertheless it was amazing. It is so much more different than regular rock climbing. The feet are really strange. I havent got that part quite down yet, but with practice I will learn. I've already torn my pants like 4 times from my feet slipping. It sucks! Hahaha, but I had an amazing time and it was a blast. Those lock-offs have helped my strength too!! I am ready for the climbing season now, strong and pumped beyond belief!!

A rare, but Perfect Fit

I have been at the White Mountain School for around 2 weeks now. I can easily say this place is where i am supposed to be. I am so comfortable with the people around here, I can be myself. It has been an amazing 2 weeks and I look forward to the ones to come. I have done ice climbing already for the first time ever. It is really different but crazy sweet. I cut my pants up though because of the crampons. Still getting used to :) I am really excited for the days to come and I know that this school is the place for me!!

"When One Door Opens, Another Closes"

It has been a while since my last blog post and a lot has happened. I won't bore you with the details but I am transferring schools to go to the White Mountain School. I am extremely excited about this right now! I am hoping it will give me the motivation I have been lacking for a little while now. They have skiing and most importantly, rock climbing!! They have a school team, how amazing is that?!?! Even though this school is clearly a gift from God himself, it is always hard to say good-bye to what little friends I have. But whenever I say good-bye, I always remind myself. The reason something is so special is the amount of time you spend with it. A good example is my camp friends. I also see them for the summer and when we get together we always have a blast. But if I were to spend the entire year with them, eventually we would get annoyed with each other. So, now when I get to see my friends here in Durham, I will have a blast with them because I know our time together is precious and I shouldn't let that go to waste. So, another chapter in my life begins today. I leave my school in Durham, New Hampshire and move to a boarding school in Bethlehem, New Hampshire. The door at Oyster River has closed, but the one at White Mountain has opened. And I could not be happier.
