One Rockin' Day

Thursday afternoon Jordan bought me my first harness, ATC, and carabiner. The rock climbing store we went to had the harness on sale for a screaming deal. I only own rock climbing shoes and have been borrowing Jordan's sister's harness everytime we went out rock climbing. I was pretty excited to get my own equipment.



Today Jordan and I took an all day adventure up through Rock Canyon. We packed each of our camel backs with water and a lunch and hiked with all the rock climbing gear a few miles in. We rock climbed for hours.





Jordan is slowly teaching me more and more every time we go. Today he taught me how to clean a route. What this basically means is to take down the carabiners from the anchors that are attached to the rock at the top. Sounds easy to just take something off, but there is a lot more to it that makes it more complicated.

We were also able to hike down the stream which was a lot of fun. It was off the normal hiking trail that goes through the canyon so we were able to be away from everyone. The canyon was a little busy because of Pioneer Day. We found a huge rock that sat by a tiny tiny waterfall that had a big puddle of water (up to my knees) and we played around for a few minutes.







We had so much fun spending our entire day hiking and climbing.
