Last Day of Summer - Bouldering up Little Cottonwood Canyon
Question: What does one do on the last day of Summer? Answer: Go climb a rock!
Tom makes his moves – this was a warmup for him.
Brendan and Tom in tandem.
Brendan makes his moves on a Gate Boulder.
Nicole's love rocks. Um... no, she loves rock. (Get the pun?)
Nicole makes her moves.
Blow!
There was a bug on her hand and she blew him a kiss.
The gang rushes the rock! Sravanthi, Amit and Brendan.

Ran 5 miles
Ran down to the Jordan River, ran along the river, then back up to the canal and home. High humidity - dehydrated a bit, but it was great.

Bouldering in the Wasatch
Went bouldering after work today – traversing the rock face close to the ground. Great workout.
The Wasatch Mountains seen from Big Cottonwood Canyon – just love those beautiful ragged crags.
One day I shall scale faces such as this, perhaps.
Note the variations in types of rock.
Flowers growing in the rock wall – gotta love it! I got a bit carried away with getting this shot and went about 25 feet up before I knew it – oops! No worries.

Rock Climbing - 3 x climbs
Went rock climbing with Tom again. (He loves teaching.) He brought Laura along as an assistant coach.
What I appreciate about these guys is a fanaticsm for safety. Like, they check everything every time and follow the climbing protocols all the time. Pros!
So, I can tell you that at the top of every climb I was bathed in sweat – definitely counts as exercise!
This time I learned something about how to lead climb (first one up the rock), clipping into anchors in the rock as you go. Tom hooked up a "top rope" so us novices could always have a rope securing us all the way in case we fell. No falls this time. Then we learned about how you take down the top tope when you are done.
The mountains are incredibly beautiful! If my camera battery hadn't died I would have had more pics to share here. Next time.
I seem to be getting a better sense of things, seeing the rock better, where my foot will slip and where it will stick. I might have been bitten, I think.

Ran up in the Wasatch Mountains - high altitude
 |
| Trail run from Alta, Wasatch Mountains |
Someone told me it was over 8,000 feet – which possibly explains why I was so short of breath and had to walk so much! It is the time of the wildflowers – quite jaw-droppingly gorgeous. I also saw my first real, live chipmunk and marmot. The marmots were fat with lustrous coats like a mink – no doubt due to the vast abundance of bugs and flowres to chow on; but they were skittish and I did not get a picture of them.

Ran a trail to a lake in the Wasatch Mountains
Probably between 6 - 8 miles round trip but with a lot of elevation gain. Did a lot of walk/run on the way up but going down was a blast. Of course I was totally not in shape for this kind of exertion but it was a whole lot of fun. Good to get out of the city.
