The day we got stuck in a convection oven...and more

I'm not sure if you can tell by the video, but we were battling some high mph winds up there. Our first official day of climbing, we headed over to the Confluence Area. The boys conquered the Crimson King and I dinked around on a 5.9 sport route (the one Jack is being blown off of in the video).

Since we were on the edge of a cliff, at the mouth of a giant canyon, on a warm sandy day...we got blasted.

As the boys sunk their fingertips into some harder trad routes, I discovered that I am a master cairn balancer.

We also hit up the Big Bend climbing area and climbed cave crack, cherry crack and several others after the rest of the group got there.

and a millionty other pictures that would bore you to see!
