so i headed down to the city of rocks on the 19th jared and i stayed in twin with his mom. we got up on friday and had breakfest with an old friend of tolmans it was really fun to hang with her and watch tolman and her catch up on life. she has a beautiful baby girl and she is really sweet. after spending 3 hours at I HOP we headed to the city to meet up with marcus! we found him sleeping in the back of his car at bath rock. so we woke him up and we went and looked for some cool bouldering. after looking at a few rocks we found what we were looking for. so we went and got the pads and started climbing in the bitter cold! we did the first boulder for about an hour or so. then we moved to the next one which was super hard and way cool! we found a roof boulder problem at the city, so next time some one tells you that the city is all slab tell them they are wrong and go bouldering. i was the only person to climb it! GO ME! it had a really really hard top out! i can't wait to go and try it again and try the other problems that we found! after this problem we were pretty shot, we were really tired so we went and just hung out in bell, while we waited for the girls and hoped that the snow would stop falling! after we got tried of hanging in bell and thought that the girls should be almost there we started walking down the road expecting to find them. little did we know that they got lost and drove all the way to utah. so after walking about 1.5 miles we decided to walk back. once we were back marcus and i set up camp and went to bed. the girls showed up later that night. i slept until morning! we climbed at the city on staurday and had a great time the group we showed around showed up around 1 ish and we just climbed in the city the rest of saturday. after the sun went down we headed to camp and talked with everyone and went to bed. on sunday we headed to castle rock did a fun multi pitch to show our newby climbers what big wall was about even though we only went up 200 feet. after we got off that climb i went and found marcus and the ladies and did this cool climb that marcus new about. great climb! on our way back to find the rec. group me and marcus saw this really cool looking boulder me and him went and looked and we did a cool line once we were on top we looked over one of the edges and found a really really hard line me and marcus were never able to climb it we think it goes about V11 or so but who really knows the line just to the right of it goes about V 6/7 and it was really good. marcus and i worked the V11 for about 1.5 hours then we started the hike out thanks to that V11 marcus and my hands were raw and we didn't climb any more that day. we headed out for the cars and drove home! this trip was one of the best trips to the city that i have ever had i hope that i get to go with everyone again once weather gets better thanks for coming everyone!
