Day 13: Rest Report

We’re up here in RMNP again. This time for a 3 day onslaught. Yesterday climbing, today resting, tomorrow climbing.

Today’s rest day included a hike and chess. We hiked the Flat Top Mountain trail (towards Flat Top mountain). Got a late start (of course, cause it’s a rest day, duh!) so had to deal with the afternoon thunderstorms…which ended up turning us around before the summit. Well, that and the 2+ feet of snow up there. Regardless, we got a great vista of Dream Lake from above and Chaos Canyon from afar – awesome perspective compared to being right on top of these areas when bouldering.

The chess portion of the day was awesome as well – cause it was my first time ever playing!! Woohoo, this trip is educational! I kicked Paul’s butt. Ok, just kidding. I got slaughtered, haha
