Yesterday was another day in the Promised Land. Matt had called on Friday to see if we were on for Saturday. Whoops, I didn’t remember planning to climb on Saturday, but guess I did. Hmmm……senility sets in.
Matt showed up at the Airstream around 9, and we headed over to Andy and Brooke’s place. As we pulled in Brooke was heading out. Andy explained something had come up at work, and Brooke was heading in, not climbing with us for the day.
Also, Geordie was coming along too, so we were waiting for him. He arrived moments later, and we got ready to head out. 4 people, 2 dogs (Geordie & Matt’s dogs came along).
The weather was great yesterday, not too hot, not too cold. The rocks that were in the sun were definitely toasty, and climbing in the shade was more comfortable.
Andy led a 5.8, then Matt got to give it a whirl. This was Matt’s 3rd time out climbing, and first time in the Promised Land. I think he had fun.
While we were doing our climbs another group of people from Phoenix were also enjoying the area. From the 5.5’s to 5.12’s, they were covering everything. Fun to watch other folks out!
I’ll be posting more photos of the Promised Land over on the ClimbAZ section of Hikenbike soon. Sorry, negligent on the posting there. Hoping other folks will post there soon too.
Today’s photo gallery is just of Matt. Thought he’d like to send the link to family and friends to share his new hobby. Enjoy the gallery Matt!
Oh, and for his third time out he led his first climb! Way to go!
