Delighted by the view, I hardly notice the pain of sore feet or the rumbling of a stomach that can’t handle another sour gummy. Ahead, our rope lead warns of a crevasse. Like the [glacier] worms, we are adapting to an unusual landscape and discovering our capacity to withstand and even feel at home in an environment that challenges us.
-Skye Michel, Editor
The stories in this edition explore the ways our community embraces and rises above challenge. From trail cache mishaps to hiking through heartbreak to defending our public lands against threats of sell-offs, the pieces in this edition reveal how life’s trying moments – whether expanding our capacity for discomfort, revealing our limits, or somewhere in between – encourage us to evolve in our understanding of ourselves and what we are capable of.
As fall's foliage and weather invite new ways of engaging with the season, we hope this edition of the magazine provides entertaining company and inspiration for your upcoming outdoor (or indoor) adventures.
