Last night was the final WRFA class. It was a really good experience, though stressful in kind of unexpected ways, and right now, I'm glad to have the evenings back (well, really, evening, because the Wednesday that was WRFA from 6-9 is now MTR from 6-10).

At the class afterparty last night, Annamarie brought up the BCC, the Boealps basic climbing class. I love the idea of taking a climbing course, and this particular class seemed really cool, because it involved going out every weekend with the same team and working through climbing challenges /as a team/. I love mountains and mountain meadows and the views and the sunshine, and the eating lunch at the top, so the gut feeling is "beautiful and fun and serene and full of good company." My main experience with snow (ie going off-trail on the mission last weekend, the last bit of the Wonderland trip, and the horrible trip to Camp Muir) involves going way too fast and getting hurt, so the related gut feeling is "fuck that". So figuring out last night that this was a snow class quickly turned all feelings of excitement into feelings of "and I would want to do this why?" But of course today I looked at the pictures, and I now have a why. It actually looks really awesome. Even if it does involve *cough* ice axes *cough*. (Regardez). I still can't do it this year, since I want to take the ESAR rigging class and help out with at least a couple of the Course IIIs... but maybe next year.
