It was 90 on Tuesday, but this morning it's snowing at sundance again. It's really coming down fast as I type this entry. Living at 6500 feet in the mountains really allows for interesting weather patterns.
Sorry it's been so long since our last blog post. We didn't take any pictures last weekend, but we did still get out. We went to Big Cottonwood Canyon with the Utah climbing club. Got on some trad topropes that allowed us to practice our gear placement (which we haven't done since Lover's Leap last August). I guess we've been slipping a bit on the trad routes. It was a super fun day though and by the end I led an easy 5.6 that felt really good. We also climbed one of the best 5.8 topropes I've ever climbed (it was a toprope because it's 5.8R on lead, meaning if you fell you'd probably hit the ground). All in all it was a super fun day in the shade.
Wanted to give a shout out to our friends Hank and Marla who have made it back to Alaska after over 2 years on the road around the world. Their trip has inspired Cassie and I to try to do a similar trip in a few years, and really was a good part of the inspiration for this blog as well. We're looking forward to seeing them when they come back to Utah. Check out the link to their blog on the right side of this page.
This weekend we're going to try and head to Maple Canyon to climb on the super cool cobblestone. My fingers are almost healed so it's time to start climbing hard again!

hey guys,
although we made it back to Wrangell, AK...we are currently in Seattle...I know, crazy. We took Tony's fishing boat up to Wrangell, flew back to Jersey for a wedding for a few weeks and are now getting ready to drive our van up to Fairbanks...our carbon footprint is LARGE. So glad you guys have a blog so we can keep up with your adventures and we look forward to watching your travels when you take off. Keep having fun!
Marla
