the fourth

This past weekend Dan and I were lucky enough to spend the weekend with four of our good friends, pictured above. From left to right: Scott, Hui En, John, Carla, me, Dan.

We packed the car up and headed to Leavenworth, WA on Friday in search of adventure and rocks. We were lucky to find both, along with high 90 degree weather and a freezing cold river.


When we arrived in Leavenworth, I think we found one of the last campsites available. We drove past at least five other campgrounds that had the "full" sign hanging up. I was getting really nervous that we weren't going to be able to find something. Thankfully we found a gorgeous spot that was only a short walk down to the river, which proved to be refreshing during the day. It also gave us a reason to wash all the dirt off. Yes, we got very dirty.


Our time was spent bouldering in the Mad Meadows area, see Dan above, and we also did our first crack climb. Climbing a crack is a lot more difficult than it looks because you have to use the crack itself for your feet and then you have to jam your hands into the crack too. I think I need more practice.

Until next time!
