The past few days in the park the conditions have been spectacular. Yesterday was the
first day I climbed with no sign of rain.
It’s too bad my fingers couldn't keep it together. My skin is very thin and after a few
attempts on Bush Pilot I had to call it quits.
I have been enjoying time that is not spent climbing as
well. I have done several things
that I have never done before.
1.
Ran out of gas
2.
Hitchhiked
3.
Fly fished
4.
Ate guacamole
My friend, an Ann Arbor native, Dave Snyder picked me up to take
me fly fishing in Boulder Canyon.
Not far into the canyon Dave tells me his gas gauge broke about a month
ago, just as the car sputters to a stop.
Conveniently, a mountain biker returns to his car in the same pull off
we managed to stop at. He kindly
offered us a ride into town. A nice guy, Kevin, a software engineer who works just outside of Boulder and just started climbing a few months ago.
After the fill up we made it to the river and before dark I
was able to land two cutthroat trout!
I’m taking a few days off of climbing to allow my skin to grow
back. Then, I'm headed back to the park!
