Trip Report: Cloud Tower and The Challenge

April 22, 2013

Mid-crux on pitch 4 of Cloud Tower On April 10th, Jonathon and I escaped the Salt Lake City area in search of sunshine, warm temps, and rock climbing.  We drove down to Red Rocks, NV just outside Las Vegas.  We both really wanted to climb some long classic multi-pitch routes, since that is what Red Rocks … More Trip Report: Cloud Tower and The Challenge

Earth Day is everyday! So thankful for this wild and beautiful world!
Today it was a beautiful spring day in the wasatch and it got me excited for granite rock climbing season. When the stars align and I’m positive they will, I’m sure I will get my granite fix but for now I will hike with my babe and rehab my elbow. One of my many goals (and there are many!) after pregnancy was to stay healthy and while I avoided the flu despite caring for flu patients regularly over the winter, I hit the gym too hard and too fast and re-injured my elbow. Lesson learned - be more patient! In the meantime, I sure am happy to have a hiking buddy that cheers me on with his squeaks and smiles 😊. @pfaff_anna photo from 2016
The mountains and conditions are not always the most important factor but the company can sure make or break the day. I’m so psyched I got to spend a couple hours in the backcountry with my two favorite ski partners ❤️
I’m working night shift but my ❤️ is still in the desert. Feeling so grateful to have some time down there and for friends that have adopted my slower albeit chaotic life 😊.
Indian Creek - 2018 style. Complete with van and baby. Who would have thought the girl who lived in a suburu would ever enter this era? #vanlife #cragbaby
The first time I took Ari skiing he cried while going downhill. Yesterday, while slowly skiing downhill, he started giggling. Those little giggles had me cracking up and have me smiling every time I think of that moment. 😊😊😊
