Don’t know where I stand after a month

I'm 41m, talking to a37f I matched with on bumble 1 month ago. We had good convo(both into being active, her Rock climbing me lifting). She climbs a lot and it's fairly evident this is more a priority for her than dating (i think she even said that). Regardless we have gone on 2 dates, both hikes. I made a point to kiss her the first date and it was awkward, 2nd date we kissed more and there much more chemistry (from my perspective). She didn't pull away or anything. I asked for both kisses on the 2nd date which probably helped.

At the end of the 2nd date (Saturday) after kissing I asked if she wanted to go back to one of our places. She declined (had to get up early for climbing, but I feel like it was a convenient excuse). Texting later she said she still feels like she doesn't know me and likes to take things more slowly. She's also said a few times not knowing if we are compatible. I initially told her I used to climb a little but definitely not on her level which she said was not an issue.

She's told me a few times about a 2 week climbing trip she's taking(which she leaves for in 2 days) where she will have very limited cell service, and mentioned it's OK if I start seeing someone else during that time. I told her I don't expect to and that I'm not seeing anyone else currently and that I like her. She said she's open to a3rd date to "see how we feel." I don't know if she's dating other ppl but we are both still on bumble(I dunno if she's active on it)

I told her I wanted to see her again this week before she left and she said "probably not unless something happens"

Should I hold out hope that when she gets back she will want to continue seeing me? I feel like she's not very invested(she joked she's not due to her climbing) but I also do tend to get overly invested quickly.

We've been texting mostly daily with some calls, I do most if not all the initiating
