I have carpal tunnel in my right wrist and sometimes it hurts to the point that I can't even move it. (I had surgery on my left wrist, so that doesn't support me that great either.) The first climb Friday morning was really annoying because my wrist started acting up and it started swelling. I couldn't climb the whole wall because it started hurting pretty bad. Usually I would just do it anyway, but I thought it would be better sit out for a bit and take some iB profen to stop the swelling and put some ice on it so I could climb the next wall.
We are about to leave to another area in this picture. Keven and I walked down to this area near the river...well there was poison ivy down there. Yea, that sucked. It felt like millions of thorns kept pricking at my legs! It lasted for about an hour for me and then somewhat faded away. Keven's lasted for a bit, but then came back when we got home a couple days later! Isn't that crazy? He was itching his legs one night that it started bleeding!Here's Mariela and myself waiting for our next climb. My wrist started feeling a lot better! Keven and Diego. After a couple more climbs...(our last one being AMAZING) but we didn't have really any pictures of us climbing that one because everyone that took our pictures last time were also climbing. (Does that sentence make any sense?) :) So yea, we hiked back up that 20 minute hike. BUT after climbing from 10:30 to about 7:00 at night...yea, we were dead! Oh man, our booties were definitely on fire after that hike!
Thanks to my wonderful dad, we were able to get a lot of wood from his lumber company! Keven was a great chopper! :) Check out the mountains in the back! Friday night and Saturday night, we headed to the natural hot springs that were AMAZING! Oh man, have you ever been in one of those? They are SO relaxing! Sometimes they get so ridiculously hot that you have to stay out for awhile. In college I always freaked out when people would mention the "lave hot springs" because...well have you ever seen DANTE's PEAK?! Yea..people dyed in one of those! Nevertheless...it totally relaxed us after a long day of climbing!
Saturday morning we headed to the happy boulders. Bouldering intimidates me a little more then rock climbing because...well you don't have a rope. I guess the good thing is though that it's only like 20 feet, so if you fall you only break some bones, but you won't die. haha, jk mom! :) there are crash pads underneath you and a spotter. We had a blast and I was very impressed with Keven and his athleticism! I swear he can do ANYTHING!

After we were done bouldering, the guys wanted to replicate the jeep commericial...tell me that doesn't look like one...minus the jeep. haha. BUT the guys wanted to each climb a boulder and play frisbee. Who got the frisbee if it wasn't caught? Well there was a dog...her name was JESSICA. (Yea, me!)
