Fourth of July Festivities

All holidays are pretty anti-climatic as the only day I celebrate during the year is my birthday. As the fourth was approaching I didn’t have any plans due to mid-week timing of the holiday. Yet, I received a spontaneous text from my friend Mathias inquiring about the possibility of a quick Joe’s trip. I didn’t have to work, so a crew of us gathered and cruised down my home stomping ground on Tuesday evening for a night of camping and a day of climbing.

Allison at the Small Boulder.

Matt sending a great arete problem.

McKinley at the Riverside boulder.

The gang swimming in the reservoir when the temps became a little too roasty toasty for climbing.


CB learning how to swim. I think she hated it!


Self portrait, a necessity for each climbing trip. This is me and Matt at the UMWA boulder.
