Of climbing…
I’d never climbed a mountain before.
At the start of this year’s House of the Holy festival in Abtenau, Austria, a group of friends from the UK and Sweden decided that’s just what they were going to do, taking on the First Pass in the nearby Tennengebirge range. Accepting their kind invite and relishing the challenge, I joined them.
Of course, this was not an extreme ascent requiring specialist gear. Rather a hike up increasingly narrower trails with the occasional extreme drop. Not for amateurs either, the climb was still gruelling. With the gradient tending towards near vertical in places, and scree slipping underfoot, I soon learned to clamber with all my will, determination, and limbs.
And four hours later, with a few unplanned breaks taken into account, we made it to the rewarding vistas of the summit.
There will always be a taller peak. A greater ascent. Betterment comes from taking that individual responsibility to grow beyond. To push past the expectations of others, and find fulfilment in actualising what is truly possible.
But with cuts and scrapes carving my legs in memento, and my feet finding blisters in places I never predicted, I’m proud of what we achieved together.

Hi folks! I'm Taylor. I live in the United States, and am connected to New Zealand through family and friends. I haven't yet visited, and am planning to come for a working holiday year as soon as I get the means.
I am big into ecological design, architecture and planning, as well as organic gardening and permaculture. In this phase of my life, I'm mainly looking to travel and find a community (human and otherwise) where I'd feel content to put roots down and plant seeds with the long-term future in mind. I'd love to travel New Zealand, meet other Earth-minded people, and get some work experience alongside you folks.
Happy to connect on here with anyone who's an outdoorsman, a gardener, farmer, traveler, or otherwise nature-minded.
