Climbing Day Canceled
We are going to postpone the climbing day tomorrow and give the rock a chance to dry out. We'll let you know when a new date is set. Until then, it's a great day to watch some climbing films.

Read and share! Fantastic article, full of awesome pictures by Climbing Magazine.

“With Bob, limits are arbitrary, and athletic goals get to skip the self-consciousness, seriousness, and self-interest that are a big part of the outdoor pursuit-driven lifestyle,” Amy says. “When you hang out with Bob, whether you’re climbing the Grand Teton, or watching Gilmore Girls on Netflix, there is a constant level of irreverence and goofy joy that is one of the most freeing feelings on earth.”

We didn't get to climb this time, but we did get to play in the rain and learn about top rope anchors. Huge thanks to Mike for donating his time and making this happen!
