Salt Lake City was mostly a chore stop over place. We stayed in the Wasatch State Park on the east side of the mountains, a little south of Park City. We did some shopping and got our hair cut. Sounds like a no brainer but when you are months on the go a hair cut gets to be a big deal.
We did a little hiking, but when we tried to go for a motorcycle ride we ran into snow banks pretty quick. So we fell back to Rock Climbing as our main activity. No good pictures because all three of my cameras are broken. So I am posting some pictures of the climbing area from the web.
We climbed in area 9, the Kitchen, and then in area 2, Red Slab. On Red Slab Barbara got to experience the excitement of down climbing to set a top rope. We are very brave on the rock when our top rope is set and we know that a mistake will only hurt a little. A lot more cautious when free climbing.
Barbara got Mr. Numbers, a 5.10 climb. She is getting stronger and more sure of herself with each climb. I still have trouble getting around the over hangs, BMI to strength ratio is still not in the right place. Of course I didn't have sense enough to traverse to the 5.6 route.....
