Arizona

We went climbing in Arizona / Utah area for ten days. We met up with some friends that used to live in Golden and now live in Idaho. The weather was awesome, the climbing was fun and the company was great. I had switched two days of work so I got ten days off in a row, and Chloe got a few days covered from work. We climbed in the VRG (Virgin River Gorge) where the climbing was really good. Lots of long hard routes :) We also climbed at another place called the Cathedral, which was very cool, but a little on the cold side. Finally we visited a third area called the Black and Tan wall which had shorter, more "bouldery" type routes. Chloe got a new harness to accommodate her new condition (of being pregnant), and absolutely loves it... not really. The new harness is atrocious, actually. Petzl should be ashamed of producing such a piece of crap and selling in for $120. But hey, it takes the pressure off of her belly and accomplishes the basic function. Some customizations will be necessary... Climbing hard is getting harder for her, but she's still going through with it and climbing away!
Part way through our trip, on a rest day, we met up with my brother, his wife, his mother in-law, and little baby girl! We went for a short hike in the Valley of Fire in Nevada and had a little pic-nic. Good rest day :)
