There’s fun… and then there’s type two fun—the kind that doesn’t feel fun until it’s over, and even then, you’re not totally sure.

Climbing Lone Eagle Peak in one push is no joke. It’s like running a marathon with a heavy pack, then climbing a multi-pitch alpine wall—cold, wet, and nonstop for 23 straight hours. This was one of the hardest days we’ve ever had in the mountains. But that was actually the goal, let’s do something harder than the Matterhorn. 

In this clip, Sam isn’t his usual chipper self—and that’s also the point. He was cold. He was tired. But he was also learning something more important than topping out: how to regulate himself in the middle of chaos. You can see it in his face—processing, adjusting, staying in the fight. He gives me a punch for filming him (fair enough), but he kept going. He kept his head together. He found his grit even when the grownups started swearing.

This is the kind of fun that forges something deep. Type two fun. The kind that changes you.

Sam is one funny guy, always busting on his dad. This is one arid place, together they are exploring a ridge in Western Colorado. It was crazy cold and windy but Sam pushed through. Not many other kids his age could do this. He is many miles from the car. This adventure started when the alarm clock went off at 3AM. Thankfully he had his Big Agnes jacket keeping him toasty. 

Adventure here we come. @bigagnes_
