This weekend we took the RV down to Tucson, AZ to meet up with our friends to go rock climbing. A little concerned about the windy roads we left the RV at their house and took our friends jeep to the top. On the drive we were both shocked that we were climbing so high in elevation that pine trees were starting to show. Good spot for weekend camping we'll have to keep in mind.
Once we got to the top, the boys unloaded and got the gear set up. They were having a hard time getting the ropes to the bottom of the rock because of the wind. Here is the view from the bottom of the rock, they are at the top!
They eventually had to tie their bags to the ropes to get them to the bottom of the hill. Once everything was set up it was time to climb. Everyone took their turn, except for me, I decided I just wanted to watch this time, next time I will do it for sure, looked like so much fun.
Here is Justin with David, we met him that day, he knew everything a 12 year old could possibly know about climbing. Pretty entertaining little guy.
Almost to the top!
This side of the rock was a little more tricky for the boys to climb. It looks like there is a lots of spaces to hold onto from the pictures but the shadows are deceiving, so they say.
Here is a video of Justin Climbing!
We were there for a few hours and the weather was gorgeous, a little chilly breeze but nothing to complain about. I'm pretty sure that Justin is hooked on climbing again. On the way home we googled all kinds of places he could climb when we move to TX.
Looking forward to a few more climbing adventures before we leave. Thanks again to Trevor and Mikala for inviting us out!
