It's been a long and busy summer devoid of posts, for a few reasons.... well really only just one. Last week I submitted my final Masters Thesis, presented to a room of my peers and my committee and, pending formatting corrections from the grad school, have officially graduated. Yay! Needless to say, I haven't had the motivation to write much for fun these last few months.
I did some things besides working this summer. While I was still in Eugene, I floated the river...
For the month of July, I was in
Montana again for field camp...

| The sunsets were amazing. |
 |
| like, really amazing. |
 |
| The clouds were menacing and incredible, as usual. |
 |
| The rocks were pretty rad too. |
We went to Glacier National Park for a few days. A small group of us climbed a fun scramble with a great view...
 |
| From the summit of Going to the Sun Mountain. |
 |
| Backbends! |
I went home to Yakima to finish my thesis, and went for a nice hike with friends and family...

I escaped for a weekend to Leavenworth, where we climbed hard slab sport and epic-ed on Dragontail Peak...

I spent a week not sleeping in order to finish my work. Now it is time for a grand adventure, before real life has to happen. More on that later.
