"You're stronger than you think," said @rob.lea to me as we left the car on our journey to the highest point in Utah. I honestly didn't know if we would be able to pull this one off (I admit, I packed a small emergency bivy bag just in case). On a big endurance day, my energy comes in waves. But positive thinking leads to positive action and this mantra of strength kept my spirits high. Photo: After hours of skinning on flats, it was refreshing to start boot packing up a steep couloir.
