The one thing to note down from all of this is just be you. When I came back home my current job advanced my position and gave me more responsibility. You learn a bunch of new skills map and compass reading, variety of knot building, WFR certification, rock climbing skills, and so much more.
You travel together but your journey is your own. This course pushes your limits, from the fear of heights to the fear of opening up, it's all different for one but it just gets better and you grow from your weaknesses. The heartache was indescribable but from every mountain that I climbed, every dinner under the stars, all scenic routes, and the variety of personalities that were found from each bond, the heartache was just easier and easier to deal with. One of the hardest experiences of my life but it was all worth it! On my 2 year anniversary with my boyfriend, I had to leave him for 2 months to go on these adventures with random people from all over the Country. They exemplified passion, integrity, and grit - leading by example and creating a space that was fun to learn, fail, and try again in, they are truly the real MVP's and are reason enough to sign up for a course. This expedition of course would have not been the same without the instructors who led it. And while, sleeping in a cave overlooking granite spires and kayaking alongside orca whales are "never-forget-it moments", some of my favorite memories are rap battles and campfire dinners with my crew.
While on trail we leaned on each other's strengths to get us both physically and mentally to our next destination. They remain some of the closest friends and encouragers I have in my life. Some of the greatest lessons I learned while on trail came from the seven other individuals on expedition with me. I walked away with these skills, but I also gained so much more. I signed up in order to gain technical skills to perform better in my role within the outdoor industry. Taking this course was one of the best decisions I've ever made.
