The CragBaby

The Grayhghost and I cruised down to American Fork yesterday to get in some climbs. My left foot is still in a boot, but our idea was that I could get on a top rope on some steep, easy climbs.

We decided to go to the Membrane wall as it is steep with a couple 10’s. However, the log and rope that grant access across the river had been removed, so in order to get to the other side the Grayhghost gave me a piggy-back ride (one time we came really close to going in the stream) and then went back for the bags and dog. Yeah, the Grayhghost is seriously a trooper!

I quickly learned how tricky it is to climb with a boot on my foot. The climbs that are usually my warms-ups had turned into a top-rope, bolt to bolt extravaganza. At first I was pretty bummed, but soon learned to enjoy just being able to do the climbing movement again.

The most exciting climb of the day was when the Grayghost decided to up and DOWN climb License to Thrill. It was seriously amazing to watch, especially since I haven’t even nailed the redpoint on that one yet.

Good times soaking up vitamin D from the sun and letting the little one (the Cragbaby) run wild.
