A quick recap here on some notable moments from this spring’s fun…
Paul ticking off Scream, v11. Impressive, as he did Scream Stand, v10 more than a decade ago, and was never able to even come close with this lower start.
Me staring down the lip that I want soooo bad on my send of Devil’s Butthole, v6. Finally! (Thank you, 5am 4×4’s before work, for literally three straight months so that I could have the endurance I needed for when the planets unexpectedly align themselves with the kids’ busy schedules, and I find myself sitting below this perfectly perfect mother-of-all-Hueco-jug-hauls with the opportunity to SEND. ☺️)
Ivan (ahem, I mean Paul, because he’s 18 and older), getting his Level 1 Rocket Certification. Which basically means no more baby model rockets anymore. We’re talkin’ legit high power rocketry now, people! Yeah!
Go big or go home
Silas having a wicked strong gymnastics season. Now a Level 9 gymnast, he qualified for Regionals and now Nationals too!
If you’re gonna yank the kid out of school for a gymnastics competition, you might as well tack on a climbing trip to Joshua Tree, right?!
Me warming up on False Hueco Traverse, v2. Dang, I forgot how beautiful this place is.
Paul running up the ultimate J-Tree classic White Rastafarian, v3
Frisbee on the rocks
Ivan smiling his way up Flintlock Dino, v0. This kid is always smiling when he’s sending.
Silas wanting his glory too….but barefoot! Rules don’t apply for this boy.
