After four days filled with climbing and biking, I tried to take a forced rest day. Unfortunately all those things I’ve managed to put off, surface. Spring-cleaning, blogging, organizing, half-read books, contracts, etc... 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.

Until then I will train regionally until the weather is a bust. Summer seems just around the corner; however, it isn’t here yet. Climbing at the VRG, the Utah hills, and Mt. Clark will be a treat until the time to take off comes along.
