Try to get about 5-10 mountain peaks per year, with at least 2-3 'big project' mountains like Hood, Baker, Glacier, Rainier, etc per year.>occasionally rock climb outdoors, but not as often as mountaineering / hikingI don't pretend to live any sort of /out/ life, but I do really enjoy going outdoors and doing challenging hikes. I'm trying to camp more, unfortunately since the cascades/olympics are 2/3 hours from my house it's easy to just leave early, do a 20 mile day hike, and then be home by sundown. Work/life balance is really good with my higher-than-average days off + work from home fridays, and while I wish I could be outdoors more I'm pretty happy with my job.
