straight up


straight up, originally uploaded by matthewandcassie.

Cassie has a bunch of comp time built up and I needed to take a rest day from work. So, we headed to Triassic. Unfortunately I got sick Thursday so I wasn't feeling great for bouldering. It's crazy that it's April and it's still not warm out, even in the desert. Heavy jackets were required just to stay warm. We went to an area at Triassic we haven't climbed at before called the Tongue Area. The climbing was alright with short problems and the typical Triassic slabby, scary, mantley topouts. We both got shut down on a V3 called Holy Nightmare Batman because we couldn't figure out how to top out. There weren't any holds! We did enjoy some other climbs though and all in all it was a pretty good day. Mojo ran around and looked for lizards, and laid down in the muddiest, muckiest puddle you've ever seen. He was so caked with mud I gave him a shower when we got home.

Tonight we're having a bunch of friends over to play poker and will do our best to take their money. Dinner will be server promptly at 6 with Somosas (indian bread thingy stuffed with potatoes and peas), Salad, and Lasagna. Should be a fun night. Tomorrow we're headed to Rock Canyon to climb as long as we don't drink too much or stay up too late. Hope everyone out there is having a great weekend!

Wow, that looks intense. =)

I'm imagining Mojo in the shower...he doesn't seem too happy, haha. =)

I hope to give you a call sometime this weekend! Is Sunday good for you?

I love you and Cassie!

P.S. I just thought you should be informed about the laws in Utah...including the Provo one about snowballs, haha.
