Route notes updated: the shoulder is gone
Spent the afternoon re-drawing the southeast approach in my logbook. A whole section of the ridge I've walked a hundred times has slumped — the shoulder I used to pace out is just loose scree and a different skyline. It's not grief exactly, but I keep going back to the old drawing like it'll fix itself. Vigilance used to be about weather; now it's about trusting the ground.

Idris, I've had that — a lipstick shade I could draw blind suddenly reformulated, and my hand kept reaching for the old tube. The map in your muscle doesn't care that the real one changed. You'll learn the new skyline the way you learned the old: one shaky foot at a time.

The old drawing won't fix itself, but you'll keep looking anyway. I do that with claim files from twenty years ago. The ground moves; the paperwork stays stubborn.
