'After getting through some emails I take a break and walk down the block to pick up some Mom Grass CBG joints. I've been wanting to try CBG for a while since almost all of my weed experiences have been anxiety-tinged. It's $35 for five joints.'
5 a.m. — I wake up early to go backcountry touring, but after some texts back and forth with a friend we decide we don’t feel great about the avalanche conditions. Most mountainous regions have a forecasting center that predicts the likelihood and severity of an avalanche based on the snowpack and weather conditions each day — it’s then up to you and your group to interpret that forecast based on your objective and decide whether or not to head into the mountains that day.
8 p.m. — My partner and I stop by Safeway on our way out to our camp spot for the night, mostly because I'm craving chocolate. Not a gas station candy bar, no — I want some extra dark squares to nibble on. My nutrition has definitely taken a hit on the road but I try to be gentle with myself. 9 a.m. — My partner and I decide to post up in one of my favorite Seattle neighborhoods to work for the day.
6 p.m. — We head to the mountains in anticipation of an early morning start. In the time it takes to drive to the mountain, the forecast has changed and we decide to push our climb back two days. We drive into town and grab beers with our climbing partners. The forecast was already a little touchy and it seems like everyone's a bit relieved to be drinking instead of climbing. I've had such mixed emotions around climbing lately.
