Thanksgiving at Joshua Tree

Just a few pics from Joshua Tree over Thanksgiving. A good time was had by all, even if So High did not go down.

In July we headed back to Pocketopia to try our hand on the classic steep line Everything and Nothing v5. Matt flashed it, no surprise, and it shut everyone else down that day. Lauren, however, worked out the beta for Shiva Rising v4, and sent it a day later for her first v4! After bouldering we headed over to the shroomy Catacombs for some exploring and to catch the sunset. Soon the stars and Milky Way came out, and I made my first ever attempts to capture the beauty of our galaxy on film. I was pretty pleased that the photo turned out at all!

Redwoods and Lost Rocks

In June, Lauren and I headed up the coast to the Lost Rocks of Humboldt County for some seaside bouldering. Unfortunately, Lauren had injured herself two days prior and was unable to climb. Fortunately, the Lost Rocks and surrounding area are a great place to chill, hike, birdwatch, lay on the beach, and generally goof off. We stayed at Kamp Klamath, a privately run campground which turned out to be one of the most beautiful places I have camped, so lush and peaceful. The saturday night barbecue that the camp hosts is pretty amazing. All in all it was a wonderful and relaxing way to spend a week. Oh, and some bouldering happened also.
