When not writing about climbing, Sara can be found climbing indoors at locations around Washington, outdoors around the Western United States, or, striking up conversations with other climbers at the crag and other climbing haunts.</p>

If I close my eyes and think back over the last few months, and how very much there would be to catch up on, it&#8217;s kinda dizzying. I&#8217;ve moved to Seattle, started a new job in the outdoor biz, kept blogging and writing, have snuck in some fun climbing trips and am still climbing every chance I get (although, with the day job, that&#8217;s way less than I&#8217;d grown accustomed to) and&#8230; what else?<br clear="all" /><a href="http://www.climbing.com/exclusive/readerblogs/sara_lingafelter/sara_lingafelter_-_reader_blog_3" class="leadinlink2"><img src="http://static-dev-climbing.s3.amazonaws.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/06/ClimberGirl-250-sq_18107.jpg" border="0" align="left">Sara Lingafelter &#8211; Reader Blog 3</a><br />7/17/09 &#8211; Rock Climbing with Complete Strangers &#8211; I&#8217;d originally written another essay on how much of a head case I am as a climber&#8230; I&#8217;ll spare you, since that particular theme is getting a bit old.  Luckily, inspiration struck when I asked my buddy, Ben Fullerton, if I could use some of his photos to go with this post.  While flipping through his photo album of our recent day out at Boulder Canyon with Tyson, Tom, Amy, Bracken, Ryan and Kari, I realized &#8211; I&#8217;ve got the best climbing partners in the world.  And, many of them are total strangers.<br clear="all" /><a href="http://www.climbing.com/exclusive/readerblogs/sara_lingafelter/sara_lingafelter_-_reader_blog_2" class="leadinlink2"><img src="http://static-dev-climbing.s3.amazonaws.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/06/shawn_on_panty_by_sl-sq_18108.jpg" border="0" align="left">Sara Lingafelter &#8211; Reader Blog 2</a><br />3/20/09 &#8211; A new entry for the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual on Climbing Mental Disorders &#8211; I&#8217;m not a psychologist, although at times in my life I&#8217;ve been a middle class American so I&#8217;ve had some exposure to shrinks.  I broke up with my last shrink awhile back.  Don&#8217;t get me wrong, Therapist was a very nice woman, but it&#8217;s the familiar refrain&#8230; she just didn&#8217;t understand rock climbing.<br clear="all" /><a href="http://www.climbing.com/exclusive/readerblogs/sara_lingafelter/sara_lingafelter_-_reader_blog_1" class="leadinlink2"><img src="http://static-dev-climbing.s3.amazonaws.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/06/sc_jtree-sq_18109.jpg" border="0" align="left">Sara Lingafelter &#8211; Reader Blog 1</a><br />2/25/09 &#8211; I&#8217;ve been climbing since late 2004, but managed to exist as a recreational climber in those early years. I climbed in the gym regularly, but I didn&#8217;t really seriously train for climbing. I took crag days around the pacific northwest with a variety of climbing partners often, but I prioritized my well-paying corporate gig and regularly missed climbing days for work commitments, or because of other responsibilities.<br clear="all" />    </td>
