Tuna sammiches are life savers, so easy and they taste good! So I had to look at what and ascender is and no, I haven't done aid climbing. However, I've used ascenders quite a bit in speleology (caving) which was as much if not more fun than climbing. That's the thing I miss the most! Do you do aid or alpine climbing as well? 

I wouldn't mind trying or learning aid climbing but I don't have the equipment. At the moment I have a full trad climbing rack that I haven't used a whole bunch. Going to the Smokey Mountains in a couple weeks and gonna do some Backcountry stuff, maybe I can get a bit more use out of the trad gear we will see. Caving sounds awesome, how did you get into that? Did you do guided tours or go out and do it yourself?  

The pictured tuna was eaten without additives 👍👍(no mayo) it's sweet n spicey single serving from Sunkist. The easiest meal ever and tastes pretty good too. (Especially great for when you are out on the trail, no refrigeration necessary) 

My ex-husband was a mountain (alpine) guide, so we were always doing mountain stuff. Rock climbing, ice climbing, caving etc... I was lucky to be exposed to all those sports! Sounds like a nice trip coming your way!
