Training

In between Joshua Tree and other big trips, we normally practice and train in and around our neighborhood. We went back to the main wall in the Box Springs Mtns. to see try our hand at routes that we were not able to do when we first discovered the wall and started climbing.

We also went back to the Quarry to climb. We have not gone in several months and the kids wanted to see how they have improved.

Both girls are doing great. Caitlyn is still small and has still some way to overcome her occasional fear of heights but she has come a long way.

She even led her first sport climbing route called "My Hero Zero." She froze while being top roped on this climb when she first started.

Emily worked on practicing putting up anchors.

Emily also got to work on cleaning up an anchor to rappel back down.

It's fun to see how far the girls have come along.
