2 weeks down only 2 more left!

Can't believe we have been here for just about two weeks. On the one hand we have climbed and seen SO much, but on the other hand there is still so much to do! One of the highlights of the past few days was seeing a black bear at our campground. He was so darn cute it was hard not to approach him to pet him :)

In other news, yesterday we climbed a route called Skywalker. It included an exposed, traverse pitch that, while easy, was still quite exciting! The climb left us at the top of Shannon Falls- pictures below.

Tomorrow we are planning on climbing the entire Chief via a route called Angels Crest. It will take us the better part of the day and will definitely be an adventure!


The "Skywalker" pitch...just a stroll along the cliff


Belay anchor just before the Skywalker pitch.


Shannon Falls- the sound and force of this waterfall was indescribable. 


A cool crack climb


Tomorrow's project!
