Today, I am thankful for our first climbing adventure of 2007.
Where: Red Rock Canyon
Route: Quarry Wall, Mono-Smear 5.8
(a really smeary climb with very few edges)
Despite the month-long hiatus, S climbed quite well. T thoroughly enjoyed the hike along the snow-packed and occasionally slushy/muddy trail. I was rusty and awkward - my climbing, far from fluid and elegant (still, I managed to complete four ascents).
I still say that a mediocre day climbing beats any day away from the rocks.
For this blessing, I am grateful.
Amen.
S and T enter the climbing area.The sun's rays bless today's journey.
