Jeez, what a wuss I am. I woke up a little sore, especially my knee, so I threw on the brace before we took off for some more rock climbing with Toby, Mike, and "Future" from Dallas. Future is a young climbing, only out of high school for a year, but is already very well known for his crazy sick climbing abilities. When he came out to SLC for some climbing him and Toby hooked up to do some climbing and photographing for Future's sponsors. Needless to say these guys convinces me that they are crazy! Check out the pics of Future climbing this overhang, look for the little guy in blue shirt (more at my site).
I actually got a little bored of looking up and my neck was giving me hell too, so I wrote in my journal for about an hour on the side of the mountain while they put their lives on the line. I started to get a little hot from the scorching sun so I took a short hike up the mountain we were on. Another first, not the hike, but I came across some moose poop! It was like 30 large grapes in a pile : )
Got to see a neat little waterfall, but unfortunately my camera battery was flashing red so I didn't take it on my hike. Right before we left I took a self portrait overlooking the canyon we were in.
Once Matt got home from work we took off up the canyon road to ride the same trail I did the day before. Toby was being fairly nice to me knowing I wasn't in super shape, but Matt had none of that pity for me and was soon out of sight climbing the long accent. Needless to say as I sit here typing this my legs are sore! But I'm glad I pushed it because that is the only way I'll get in shape quick.
Next week we might head down to Moab if it doesn't hit 90 degrees, so I need to be ready for that.
I'm sore, tired, ready for bed...I'm out.
