Climb 17 - Wednesday Aug 28 - Scout(s)

As soon as I was asked by the Stake Venture Scout Director what I do for work, I was promptly asked if I would like to take the boys climbing. I consented and we planned it for September 17. In anticipation for this monumentous event, I asked the boys from my ward if they wanted to climb tonight and give it a shot before there were a bunch of people around. They seemed into the idea. As the day drew closer, we lost a couple of them - they became busy. The problem with this is that there are only three of them total. So if two of them can't come, it is just me and one scout. I was cool with it if he was. He was. Tony and I went up to Iron Curtain Wall in Parley's Canyon. It was a quick trip in the evening so we didn't have time to do a bunch of climbs. The idea was to toprope the 5.9+ then lead the long 5.8 out. People were on the 5.9+ when we arrived. We started to climb another 5.9 on the wall, but cut that short as it was taking me more time than wanted to lead it. We moved our stuff over to the long 5.8 and climbed up and out. We reached the top just as the sun set. It was a very nice evening. Tony totally dug climbing. Perhaps we will get out again sometime. On Rock.

  1. Since all you have is work and school is not an excuse. You should up a last tri on the season post.
