Back to Castlewood Canyon and the Rock Wall

This past Saturday Sean, Brett, Me, and Nicole (a volunteer that worked with me last friday) went down south to do some Sport Climbing with cousin Jason. The weather turned out beautiful, everyone was in a good mood, I am still sore today, but more thankful to Jason and Jamie for taking us out for some sweet climbing. Here are some pics...

-Brett hanging on for dear life (not really)


-I made it to the top of a pretty tough crack to climb.

Moab, Utah, and Arches National Park

This weekend Sean, Luke, and I, decided to go to Moab, Utah, to do some spring camping. We left on Thursday afternoon and got back tonight at five. In between....well it looks a bit like this...


-This sign tells a true story...only because Arches has many great places to climb apposed to hike...and climbing is a bit more dangerous.


-Entrance to Arches National Park and visitors center.


-Our Campsite in Devil's Garden Campground (we woke up early and got there at 630 to get it..first come first serve)


-My new SWISS ARMY tent.


-me and Luke right by our campsite and the trailhead
