Peshastin Climbing Adventure

This was the biggest physical challenge I faced all year. Climbing in Peshastin took a lot of mental and physical toughness. We not only had to deal with the high level of physical exertion, but we had to keep telling ourselves that we could finish the climb and reach just a little higher. The heat made the climbing very difficult. It would reflect off of the rocks and completely drain the body of energy. I climbed for about an hour and a half and went to eat my sandwich, which I came to find out that it had melted in my backpack because of the heat. I powered through the day and was able to complete the advanced level in everything that was offered. It was a great experience and I was very glad that I completed what I did. I had a lot of fun and finished it with a burger and a beer at Gustav's in Leavenworth!
