Spring Break is right around the corner! I have a flight that leaves Seattle Wed. the 21 to Las Vegas. The original plan was to spend a whole week climbing at Red Rocks. A lot has changed since I bought my tickets though. First off this is the same weekend that the Red Rock Rendezvous happens. At first I thought that it would be fun but the more I thought about it the less I wanted to go. I don't think I want to be a part of the huge crowds stomping all over the vegetation and creating lines and a mess of ropes at every classic climb. I also have a snowboarding injury that doesn't seem to be going away. This sucks because I was hoping to get on some really good climbs while I was in the desert but I have not been able to train with my injury.
Because of this mess I have decided to fly to Vegas on the 21st. I will stay in Vegas for 2 nights and then drive to St. George, UT. My family will meet me there and we will probably go hang out in Zion NP or something. Maybe I could get my brother to belay me at Black Rocks or Prophecy Wall?! We will stay in our Trendwest timeshare until Monday and then I will meet up with an old friend and climbing partner James back in Red Rocks. This is when I will decided if my collar bone allows me to climb. We will spend the rest of my trip climbing (hopefully) and I fly back to Seattle on the 29th.
I'm disappointed that I can't climb much but am looking forward to seeing my fam. It should me a fun trip. If I get to climb (or at least do some good hikes) expect some trip reports in 2-3 weeks.
