Good Weather Window, Let’s Go!

June 1st, 2026

The rain stopped twice yesterday, and in both cases we took advantage of the window, first to do what ended up being a 9 mile hike around and above Jenny Lake, and later after dinner to do an 9ish mile bike ride down to Taggart Lake on the paved bike path. The first window closed abruptly while we were still out on our hike and dumped icy rain on us, but luckily we weren’t too far from finishing….and had our nice dry and cozy van to climb into to warm back up.

Mountain Biking, with an emphasis on Mountain

May 30th, 2026

After a 23 year hiatus, I am officially a mountain biker again. Not a very good one, but a mountain biker nonetheless. With Silas and Ivan on the school mountain biking team, and Paul now the head coach (how did that happen?!), there was no way I was going to be left out of the family fun a moment longer. I’m all in people! Well, “all-in” as in letting mountain biking be a nice filler sport for bouldering. Except for when one is riding REAL mountain biking trails on a REAL mountain and having to squeeze the brakes a lot!!! Oh my poor forearms! 😬

First Stop: Durango, Colorado

May 27th, 2026
Wasting no time, we hit the trails of Durango Mesa immediately upon arrival.
And what was intended to be just a quick “stretch our legs” ride ended up business as usual, a 3ish hour lung-busting endeavor. Hard to stop when you’re having fun and it’s still light until 9pm!!! 😁
Mountain biking is a tad bit dirtier of a sport than bouldering, especially when you’re me, the slow one in the back of the pack riding in the dust cloud of the shredders in front of you. So yes, I splurged and bought a shower for this trip. In Paul’s exact words after partaking in this camp-luxury: “game changer.”
Warming up at the Warm Up Boulder, Sailing Hawks
Spike ball at the boulders. The locals were very impressed that the boys hauled it all the way up here.
(If only they knew all the crazy things these two have hauled to boulders over the years, haha).
Sunday Stroll, v6. Still as hard as ever! I will never send this climb.
Boy in a tree
Last Tango in Durango, v6/7, a repeat for Paul
A repeat attempt of Legacy of the Kid, v9
Cruisin’ on the trails up the mountain behind camp, after a day of bouldering. Did I mention these gloriously long days of light?! 😁
Silas gettin’ some air
Ivan attempting to break a log in half for the fire with his bare hands.
