St. George Climbing trip march 2009






Danny rocks the rock




Wesley liked to try and climb on the rocks. We let him climb to the top on one by himself i looks like but mom was holding on to him right behind. Jeremy wants to be a model supposedly from the looks at his GQ pose!




Wesley had fun in the sun and got really dirty both days but loved playing in the dirt.



This here with the white helmet on is my first lead climb yay! For those that dont know what lead climbing is its where rope is not hooked to the top, you climb a couple of feet and clip in climb a little clip climb a little clip and so on till the top. It was a little scary cuz if i did fall i would fall a couple of feet and hit the rock but at least not all the way to the ground. i had good coaching from mike derrrick. At the end you finally securely clip into the top and come on down. it was super fun so i would like to get better at it




This area is Black rock. Wesley took a nice little nap in his port-a-crib that day, so carrying the crib there was worth it!

I have always been afraid of heights, so I could never do anything like that(plus I lack the skills and knowledge to do so). After watching Vertical Limit I knew I could really never do anything like that! Kudos to you for being so brave and awesome like you are and able to climb rocks!
