reality is fragmented, and so is any kind of searching approximation of it. i think the canadian experience does play this out somewhat- 3 founding nations, our head of state is still the queen or her representative, sovereignty is always someplace else. again, a basic confusion that is probably something like the truth.
the moral of the story is to leave portaledges to desperate moments. basecamp is closer to the boulders and nightswimming venues.
2 new areas cleaned here- no fa's, but intriguing enough to train for a winter to be able to climb at least something. one area has an intact deer skeleton in a cave, one overlooks a pond, with fins and tall problems. schist. schist is something we should all understand. interesting kind of rock.
