Day 8 - Saturday May 19 - A Royall Morning

I climbed Parley's canyon this morning with the Royall boys - yes, all of them - Cam, Blake, and Brock. Blake and I first climbed a 5.9 further East on the crag, while Brock and Cam climbed the 5.9+ on the Western end that has the roof at the top. We then traded places and all were edified one with another. Time was running short for us so I then led the really long 5.8 that we climb out of so we don't have to do the crappy hike. This was enjoyable. Some of the bolts, however, are out in the middle of the face and don't make it terribly easy to clip into. I conquered, nonetheless, and then I belayed Brock from the top as he cleaned the gear. Blake and Cam didn't want to take the time to climb it individually so they just hiked up (suckers). It was a nice morning and I look forward to doing this again some time soon.
