I t sound like an totaly fun adventure. even if you just go over this spring and summer. And if you were considering being away any way... why not take the job???? Climbing is not going any where. Granted I get that prime hard man climbing can be limited by physical issues... but dru, there are many men on this bbs that are older and climb like mad
besides if you are making such good money you can fly a partner in if it comes to that.
Did you go there for the interview??? winter months will be challenging, but it could also allow you to step out side what you are used to and learn some new things.
