rock climbing

Back on the wall

Here is a back-dated post for this weekend. Katie is back to rock climbing! After Katie got the OK from her doctor for physical activity, we decided to see how she would do back in the climbing gym. On Sunday, we fed Penelope, then loaded her into the car along with our climbing gear. Penelope fell asleep in the car, as planned, and stayed asleep in her car seat the whole time we were at the gym (about 1 hour, she started waking up toward the end). Katie did great in the gym. She did four climbs.

First outdoor climbing of the summer

Well, summer isn't quite here in Seattle, but that didn't stop us from enjoying a beautiful weekend. Katie and I went out to Exit 38 with Peter, Aaron, Maika, Jared, and Emily for some outdoor rock climbing. Obviously, Katie can't climb right now (nearly 30 weeks pregnant), but she came along to enjoy the hike and watch the rest of us climb. The weather really cooperated nicely. Some of the lower, less exposed rocks were still pretty wet, but we hiked to the Interstate Park area (at "The Far Side") and found some dry climbs.
