<\/a>\nSunset on our first day, North Mountain
\n
<\/a>\nSilas the plane
\n
<\/a>\nPaul still trying to perfect the handstand
\n
<\/a>\n…until one of the kids knock him down, wanting to play
\n
<\/a>\nSeb and Oren being goofy
\n
<\/a>\nMe sending a short yet powerful little v8 called Mystery Knobber<\/em> early in the trip
\n
<\/a>\nBucket bath!
\n
<\/a>\nChillin’ in a Starbucks parking lot on a rest day
\n
<\/a>\nTicking off a 4-star classic I’ve walked by a hundred times in the East Spur Maze and never touched, Slim Pickins, v5<\/em>
\n
<\/a>\nSeb’s perch for a good read
\n
<\/a>\nThumbs up for a Jingus Bells, v5<\/em> repeat
\n
<\/a>\nOur hero of the trip: Jen! Here she is sending Better Eat Your Wheaties, v8<\/em> after only a couple days of work. Awesome!!!!!!
\n
<\/a>\nOn the same day immediately following Jen’s send of Wheaties<\/em> Paul ups his game too and completes The Focus, v10<\/em>
\n
<\/a>\n…and then another v10 for good measure, Dead Serious<\/em>
\n
<\/a>\nThe children too are having fun
\n
<\/a>\nSilas makes music out of a couple of sticks
\n
<\/a>\nSeb reads and Oren plays out yet another adventure with his yucca-stalk sword
\n
<\/a>\nAn East Mountain tour and everyone sends! Starting with Jen’s flash of Ides of March, v6<\/em>
\n
<\/a>\n…followed by my send of one of the more burly v4’s at Hueco, Tri Hard<\/em>
\n
<\/a>\n…continued with Brian’s fast work of Julio and Me, v9<\/em>
\n
<\/a>\n…and finished off with Paul’s tick of Sunshine, v11<\/em>!
\n
<\/a>\nThe grownups’ enthusiasm is apparently contagious
\n
<\/a>\nThe four little rascals
\n
<\/a>\nLOVE these kind of days when everyone sends!
\n
<\/a>\nAnd now we can celebrate by indulging in our Thanksgiving feast
\n
<\/a>\nThis year’s wholesomely homemade Thanksgiving menu: mushroom lentil mash with cranberry chutney, raw kale salad with root vegetables and maple-candied pecans, potatoes with arugula pesto, brussels sprouts with bacon, applesauce, pickled okra, a loaf of whole wheat seeded Barrio Bread from Don the Baker in Tucson, and a store-bought pumpkin pie. Ok make that 2 store-bought pumpkin pies. \ud83d\ude09
\n
<\/a>\nNow time for a West Mountain Tour. The infamous starry-eyed man pictograph
\n
<\/a>\nCleanin’ up the classics: another 4-star v5 that I’d never done, Star Power<\/em>
\n
<\/a>\n…and conveniently Paul also sends his adjacent line on the Star Power Roof, Unfinished Symphony, v10<\/em>
\n
<\/a>\nA neat bird’s nest on the 100 Proof Roof
\n
<\/a>\nJen sends her long-standing project from last season, Mexican Chicken, v6<\/em>
\n
<\/a>\nAnd Brian adds Double Vision, v7<\/em> to his tick list
\n
<\/a>\nSilas and Oren on a “diving board” over a bathtub-sized Hueco
And for every climb and grin and send shown above there were two, three, four times more! We all had such a great trip. Paul, Silas, Ivan and I were definitely saddened to see our dear Pittsburgh friends drive east at the end of it all.<\/p>\n
