On May 24th, we got up and headed out for Diablo Canyon. We left for the crag in two cars, here’s to carpooling! Ann, Dylan, Kate, Mark, and Olivia piled into one Subi while Doug, Zack, Dennis & I piled into another. In about 30 minutes, we were off pavement and winding around gravel corners on the way to the canyon. (more…)

Tres Piedras (Near Taos, NM)
Friday, May 22nd, 2009
On May 22nd, before we headed to the Tres Piedras campground, we needed to grab some grub. We decided to visit our favorite grocer (Trader Joe’s) for the requisite camp foods.
In about an hour, we had filled our cooler with goodies (and stocked up on some shelf items for home). I was immensely sad because they did not have my favorite juice, Sir Strawberry.
After TJ’s, we touched base at the condo, and then followed Ann & Dylan over to lunch at Annapurnas, an ayrvadic/vegan restaurant. I got the most delicious Thai Stir Fried Veggies with Rice Noodles. The flavor was amazing, vegan food can be just as exciting as non-vegan food! Dennis was happy with his lunch as well. We got a yummy brownie to go…as a snack for later.
With food in our tummies & in the cooler, we headed up to Tres Piedras for the weekend. Clouds loomed ominously in the sky, but we decided to ignore them. I wanted to just be happy that we would be meeting our friends at a beautiful climbing area, fresh with possibility. (more…)

On Friday, May 9th, Jen & I headed to Eldorado Canyon to get grabby with some rock. The forecast had been for crummy weather (mid 40s-50s), but we just ignored it.
