Scrambling at sunrise
Alarm sounds off. Flames whisp the bottom of the kettle. Quickly you throw together a small breakfast; a banana and a muffin, just some quick carbs. Water fills your Nalgene. Chug. Kettle is done. Coffee gurgles as its poured into the french press. Wake the dog. Girlfriend too. Trailhead. Alpine start. Warm-up? Be bold start cold. Few miles down, getting easy. Elevation gains, hamstrings burning? Hardly. Not your first time. Chalky stone rub against your calloused hands, almost there. Big move now, does this still count as a scramble? You throw yourself over the edge, it’s dark still. You check your watch, right on time. Sun begins lifting off the horizon line. Not your first time.
