Celebrating the 24th in Joes
Utahns celebrate an additional July holiday on the 24th in commemoration of the settlement of the region by the pioneers. Neither Shaft nor I had to work, so we drove to Joe’s Valley on Monday night to get a day of bouldering in at Joe’s Valley.
The Boom relaxing on the warm up problems.
Shaft completing a fun V3.
Me on a stellar crack system problem.
Me being shut down by the CaveMan. This problem is real enjoyable but has a tricky transition that is quite shoulder intensive.
Our lunch was fantastic: homemade bread, good hummus, fresh tomatoes and….
salami, that the package reminded us was made with pork. =)
Shaft working one of my favorite problems.
Shaft teaching me the pre-wobbler shuffle.
CB hanging out on my pad. I have been meaning to write a thank you to the Grayhghost on my blog. Not only did the Grayhghost line me up with a good deal on the pad, but he drew this fantastic graphic on the right corner. Upon seeing it I was so amazed by what I thought was Black Diamond’s creativity; then he told me he had hand drawn it on there as a surprise. It was very nice and I have always wanted to post a thank you on this blog.
Shaft and I finished a problem and moved around the corner, at which time I realized I had forgotten the guide book. I walked over and saw CB swatting at something (which she does often with flies). And then I saw the slither inches away from her paw and froze in my steps. I yelled her name and the rattle sound began. I kept saying her name and slowly she backed up. Shaft came around the corner, thankfully picked up the dog (as I was still frozen in my steps) and we took a couple photos of the predator. Whew… close call.
