Owen is great. He just got his first bike yesterday. He likes to be like the big people and not on a tricycle.
I am going to help out with a little bit of fundraising, which means I will take someone out climbing for the day. It is for Action Committee for Eldorado, and they do great things such as trail building and any kind of decision making with equipment on the rock. Eldo is a traditional place that has a very traditional past.
When you walk into Eldorado Canyon you see a board with the accidents on specific routes, and most happen on the easiest ones (due, in part, to the number of people on them) It is not like the Crags in Europe where there are bolts there. You have to put your own gear in and a lot of times there isn’t the opportunity to put gear in. So you either have to risk a big fall or not do it. For a lot of beginners, risking a big fall is a rough way to go. So the Eldorado Action Committee looks at this and decides to put in a bolt to help out the safety of beginners.
In this community where there are so many climbers and climbing is so accessible, it is nice that we have an area that is enjoyable where you don’t have to risk your life when you go climbing. To me, that is not the point of climbing. I want to be able to take risks when I am feel up to it, but I don’t want to have to take risks every time I go climbing. It is nice to be able to place protection and know that it is going to hold, it just gives you a nice place of mind. It is a great organization that I would love to help out!
Thanks for the kind comments on my last post! Keep them coming!

A lot has happened since I have last posted. We have had three amazing climbing camps in Moab, UT, Eldorado, CO and Vedauwoo, WY. (and I participated in a 10-day rock instructor course with the AMGA)
The participants were amazing and will provide memories to last until Owen can climb 5.11a (which won’t be long judging by his current climbing prowess). I will be blogging and posting pictures on the NEW SITE(!) about 3 times a week.
Some upcoming events if you want to catch me in person:
August 13
Saturday 1-3pm. Book signing at the Outdoor Retailer Show at the Patagonia booth.
September 1
10am-Arizona Parks and Recreation. azpra.org 602-335-1962 Talk (multi-media presentation) about climbing walls in (public) parks (and …) the roll of climbing in parks and recreation).

Owen turned two last week, and we managed to find time to throw quite a party! Brad was thrilled that Dean and Steph (Potter-Davis) were able to come over from Moab…Dean and Owen share the same April 14th Birthday, as well as a few rather wild traits!
