Andy and Jenny came down from Denver today and took me bouldering in Castlewood Canyon. Really fun...you're not as high up, but you don't have a rope, either. Instead you pack in these big packs of crash pads (see left) to set up below the rock in case you fall. So much fun to watch these two climb, but when it came to be my turn, I think I set new records in awkwardness. I found that one of the hardest parts of bouldering is actually getting back down again! I spent a lot of time hugging rock.
Luckily, I improved a bit with practice, and by the end of the day I had climbed a V1 problem! (see above: how do I get down now?)
You are a stud!!! Great job Tina...You look Marrrvelous! A whole new wworld...BAH
