What Now?

August 14, 2008

Well I went on a few hikes over the last time I’ve blogged. A couple with a really cool friend Bill. Don’t judge a smoker by his habits, this dude held up with the hike. We once did Angel’s Landing at Zion National Park, and the following week we did Cedar Breaks. I’ve been trying to get my rock climbing strength back so when I depart back to SLC, I can keep up with my fellow climbers. I bought a used rope for 50 bucks, and now all I have to buy is quick-draws. Lead climbing is scary! Another hike I’ve done recently was a small water hike called The Kanarraville Falls. It was pretty gnarl. I went on a hike with two buddies in the Festival, Becky Merold and Amber Scott. Approaching the first waterfall we saw a log placed along the side of the fall with a gerry rigged metal ladder and ropes on the side of the rock. It was pretty scary climbing up to the top of that fall. But further down the stream we came to a natural water slide. The algae made it slippery for my booty to slid down to the pool of cold water. As we came to the 2nd water fall the log/ladder was so slippery I couldn’t get up. I slipped and put a good slice in my right knee. My mom has a saying, “It’s not a good summer unless you have scares to prove it.” I guess I’m having a gnarly summer. I would  have put pictures up, but when I went to take my camera out, I found the LCD screen broken.
