+1 to the powers of "structured learning". As someone that loves dabbling with a bagillion things and self-teaching lots of them, structured instruction always feels like a drug. It's a constant re-remembering for me of how motivating and rewarding programmatic learning can be. Stoked to see you in October if not sooner.
Interesting to see all the details on guide training. Let’s chat before you and Whitney climb Katahdin. I attempted Paloma IV in 2020 and I have some beta to share. Hopefully Madeleine and I can find a time to climb with you in July and we can catch up!

Thanks for reading, Jennifer! We've got five nights booked in Baxter SP and will go for the Armadillo and Paloma IV.
I would be happy to hear any info you have. We will be in touch!
Wow nice work on Black Dagger! Looks like a major step up from the Casual Route.
Thanks Pat! It was a very good challenge. A great day out. Much less smokey compared to when we went out there.
The year prior, I climbed Pervertical Sanctuary. So with our lap up the Casual, that's three routes on the D in three years.
Unfortunately I dont think I will be up there this season.
See you soon!
Absolutely! You have always been good at that.
I agree-We put a lot of pressure on ourselves to try new things, learn new skills. Sometimes thats tiresome, and not very productive.
Taking the role of student and letting somone else be in charge of being the teacher is very liberating and often times way more effective.
See you soon, Joe!
