Seattle Notes | Christmas Markets, Pike Place & My First V3-5 Send! ✨

A short winter trip to Seattle, yet filled with sparkling moments. Sipping hot cocoa under the Space Needle at the Christmas market, watching lights turn a drizzly night into a fairytale 🎄; breathing in the salty, lively air of Pike Place Market, alive with a century of stories; and driving to the mountain-framed village of Leavenworth, like stepping into a snow-dusted European postcard.😁😁😁 But the moment I most want to remember happened in front of a climbing wall—at a Seattle bouldering gym, I sent my very first V3-5! 🧗‍♀️✨ From attempts and beta adjustments to finally tapping the finish hold, that mix of sweat, focus, and breakthrough felt real and bright. A casual “Nice send!” and a high-five from a stranger made it even warmer.😑😑😑😑 Seattle winters may be damp, but the lights, the climbs, and the people along the way filled these days with warmth. Already looking forward to returning—for harder sends, and further views.😂😂😂 #SeattleMemories #ClimbingDiaries #V3Sent#WinterTravelTales #StudyAbroadLife #CityMoments#ChristmasLights #PikePlaceMarket #LeavenworthMagic
