Climbing Boulder Canyon - First Outdoor Climb


With everyone having a weekend free and sunny 80 degree weather on the first day of October, we had to take advantage.  Em, Maddie, Tamara and I made our first outdoor climbs while Cristian made his first lead climb without guidance from our sage climbing partner Gael.  Em climbed without anxiety or resistance and I made a pretty decent climb of  5.9+.  Good stuff for a first outing.  More to come.
