Heya everyone! I’m doing major catch up today since I obviously haven’t posted in almost a YEAR! What the heck, I can’t believe it’s almost December. Anyway, I’ll be catching everyone up in the next few days hopefully on what’s been happening this past year.

This climbing area is up in a place called Reddington Pass. It’s a gorgeous place and only about an hour from door to boulder. While this area IS beautiful, it only offers a couple good bouldering problems, limited warm ups, a squirrely approach (that is hard to manage with kids) and naked people that I would rather not see. This is a nudist area and unfortunately, they are in force when the weather warms up. Soooo, this means that we can only climb when the weather gets cold so we can avoid having to look at naked body parts. Thanks but no.

Anyway, we found  an awesome boulder that we wanted to start projecting but the second time we worked it, I totally jacked my knee up and Tommy tweaked his finger. So disappointing! It put us out of climbing for about 6 months and while I was totally pissed about this hiatus, it actually ended up being a great thing. As climbers, we never want to take rests because they cause a loss of gains! Finger, skin and core strength are the things that are lost the quickest and sooo hard to regain. However, one thing that does stay with you is experience and we are lucky that’s the case.

So, with that, here is the boulder we worked back in March that put us out until October. It’s an amazing rock with some super sweet problems. I don’t know if we’ll make our way back to it anytime soon.
