Photos by Keith Ladzinski - Running on empty and with little time to spare we grabbed hotdogs and crepes from a cart near the tower and were on our way with little time to get us back to our hotel. I of course insisted that we would make it by way of Metro and that I wanted to see the people of the night. Keith carrying thousands of dollars worth of camera equipment humored me, but later started stressing that we would miss our curfew. Click here to read Lauren Lee's 8th blog  Lee - Pro Blog 8
I find myself once again sitting in the rain in Northern France. This spring is a wet one… We left sunny La Palud Verdon to finish up the trip in Ceüse, where we are hoping the weather might be better. Sam and Keith had arrangements to meet with Millet, so we: Roman, Beck, Whitney, Sam, Keith and I all piled in to catch the scenery from our overstuffed Renault Kangoo.

La Palud Sur Verdon - We encountered rain on the drive and more rain. This actually seems to be the theme so far on the trip. Cruising into the canyon we were blown away by the grandeur and beauty this rural French town possessed. Tenderly cared for fields of lavender, small gardens, neatly kept stone and stucco two-story homes with healthy free roaming animals… Brian, Whitney, Keith and I all reveled at the thought of the time we would spend in this beautiful location and the climbing that we would do.

Today has been nothing short of a horror show. Out of all my trips overseas, this one is an all time travel epic. Waking at five a.m. didn’t seem like a big deal to get to Denver for our ten-thirty flights, but we had stops to make. Starbucks, atms, gas stations, parking, etc… Organizing in a group always has its kinks. Someone always has something to forget, something lost, and all the other things that just can’t be predicted.  Lee - Pro Blog 5
Limited by fatigue, I succumbed to resting. Roommates Joe and Colette were packing and hitting the road for their upcoming tour in Spain. The urgency to get myself organized for my trip to France finally set in. Procrastination is normal for me, especially when it comes to packing. It takes me out of the moment and puts the bigger picture back into perspective.  Lee - Pro Blog 4
Springtime in southern Utah has many rarities: desert flowers, vagabond friends, and perfect weather in some sparsely visited desert corner. Every day seems like an opportunity to enjoy the natural wonders of life in the wasteland.  Lee - Pro Blog 3
The last few days have been tiring but extremely fulfilling. Some highlights from recent recreation were: visiting with travel companion Cynthia over a little Chuckawalling; climbing in Welcome Springs with good friends; snagging the first female ascent of Rhino-pot-amus a 13 minus; camping with a crowd of new and old comrades; and getting down to business with an outstanding project of mine in the Gorilla cliffs.

There is nothing better than waking up in your own bed. Despite the wind howling outside my bedroom door, I couldn’t be happier to be home and in one piece. Yesterday I drove back from Colorado Springs in the most heinous driving conditions. I’m not one to drive huge distances let alone in springtime whiteouts.  Lee - Pro Blog 1
Leaving the desert very rarely happens, unless it is to visit family or climb in the most world-class destinations. I was convinced to visit the Front Range and climb in some of Colorado’s historic climbing areas. This last weekend was probably the best climbing vacation ever. Beautiful vistas, new climbing, hot springs in the snow, novel accommodations, and good friends. |
