After leading the day off by making my handsome man some coffee in bed, I (Karina) finally stopped being a wuss bag and did some leading on an INCREDIBLE 9 pitch bolted route on Take it for Granite at Guide’s Rock, just outside of Banff. We’re both beaming, a little ragged, and now re-hydrating at Grizzly Paw Brewing.
