We drive 3 1/2 hours with it raining the last two hours, hike through the rain to find rock that’s mostly dry, belay with the rain pounding our eyes and streaming down our faces, say “the holds are all dry” optimistically. We climb three routes before the wind forces the rain into the rock and pack our soaked and mud covered belongings and walk back through the rain and drive 3 1/2 hours home and spread everything out around the living room to dry. And that’s what we do for love.
