City of Rocks |
|
|
|
 |
Rory's too cool for school glasses
|
 |
We've arrived
We love the back country byway
|
Rock islands |
We didn't climb this, but it looks cool
|
Bullet holes- what are we New Yorkers getting
ourselves into??
|
 |
Amazing rock formations
|
 |
Watching the sun go down as we head back from
our first day of climbing- we came to find out
that it's beautiful like this every
night!
|
The hard slab climb. Meghan belaying Danielle
from the top.
|
Getting ready to belay Rory up the climb. The
top- a precariously hard position for two people
to get comfortable
|
Come on rope, don't be stuck |
Rappelling down
|
Lunch
|
Ahh, a real smile |
Sights on the way to the City of Rocks
|
Lunch with the crew: (l to r) Kevin, Rory, Jeff,
Tory, Danielle, Allicia, Meghan, Danielle
|
Our tour guide Kevin
|
Too cute
Wait, I thought I was the photographer!
|
Getting ready to climb - look at those brand new
shoes!
Tired after a successful climb |
A very serious Jeff determined to get to the top
- in spite of, or maybe because of the pink
chalk bag
|
Go Jeff, GO!
|
Meg as high up as can be, ready for the rappel
|
You want to go first, but I thought I was going
first
|
Looks like Meg gets it- nice send of the very
difficult 5.11 |
Home, home on the range....
|
 |
|
|
 |
Rory's turn
|
 |
|
 |
Danielle making her way up the crack, woo hoo!
|
Meg doing the same
|
Here comes Rory
 |
Learning the tricks of the trade is Meg
|
 |
Look at all that gear
|
The view from the top |
A view of the happenings at the bottom
|
 |
Danielle (Keefe) making her way up the wall |
And taking a break
Allicia taking her turn |
Not a bad view
|
Allicia up close
|
Tory making it to the top of his first 10! (on
his second day climbing!!)
|
More Tory |
Meg belaying Kevin with Allicia in the
background
|
More cuteness
|
Wow, another real smile?! |
A random enormous grey dog
|
Up close and personal with a bee
|
An up close look
|
and one far away |
Goodbye "City"
