MORE PICS FROM THE WEEKEND!

Here are more pictures from this weekend.We were climbing right outside of Rocky Mountain National Park. I was with my friends Stacey, and her boyfriend Paul, Kirk and Bret...I wanted to emphasize the view from our camp spot. Not the butt sticking out of the cooler...



Above is a picture of the sunset view from our campsite on night 1. Below is Clyde, Kirk's dog, and at the crag on Day 1 as well.
Below is a picture
of the sunrise on day 2. Heavenly, huh!!
Here is a picture of Kirk bustin' his way up a fun climb on Day 1. Brett below catching him.


Unfortunately, Stacey and Paul had to bail out of climbing due to Paul's bad knee. Just so you know why they are missing from the action photos!

Monastery Climbing Memorial Weekend

Here are photos from my climbs this weekend...finally! I am so excited to be able to show ya'll what it is all about. This was another fun and safe weekend, along side some perfect overcast climbing weather.(yes, there was crazy gusty winds, but it made the climbs that much more exciting!) So maybe I am an adrenaline junk...better than many other drugs out there!

Kirk and I packing up our gear on Day 1 of climbing!
Me climbing on Day 1...movin on up. This climb is called Hotzone!

my secret crush...I heart Chris and miss him soo...

SO I WATCHED AMERICAN IDOL ALMOST EVERY TUESDAY...AND SOME WEDNESDAY'S THIS SEASON...SO WHAT?
Yeah, if you know me at all this does come to you all as quite the surprise I am sure. Last season I was so annoyed with hearing all the hubub about AI and I hated it. This year, I would almost tear up as some of the candidates had to go home. Hannah would get upset if anyone would talk during the show. We are hardcore! Pop culture here I come...anyone else watch?

Twenty six spankins this year...yikes!

Another year of reminicence has come and past...I think I have blogged about ten times since then-hahaha. I spent this years birthday with my sweet sister and my amazing boyfriend. Nicki and I did a grand tour of Denver, so I could show her the fun little niches of shops and restuarants. We ate our usual sushi dinner and she showered me with fun gifts, including a giant flower headband! It really was a lovely afternoon and a great excuse to spent some QT with meee big sissy.
Pat and I cooked a homemade meal for once in the last year. It was really just a relaxing evening together in his new apartment. He gave me a climbing rope, which some look at as an asset and others a weapon of death! It really is exciting for me to have my own...hopefully I will be getting out climbing this weekend so I can use it.
Thanks to both of you for making it a fantastic birthday celebration!

Hey there people, my people. I am so very excited to let you know that I am heading out
today to Sinks Canyon, WY to camp and climb for through Sunday! My first real dirt bagging
climbing trip. It is going to be one stinky, discusting ride home after three days of physical
activity. Anyway, I am going with a group of friends that I have been climbing with in the
gym. Everyone is very experienced and intelligent, so it should be a great trip. Hopefully,
someone will have a camera...I will keep you posted, and hopefully have pics of me in action!
