However, the temps are pretty much perfect for climbing. 60 degrees during the day and around 25 at night. It is that rare time when you can climb in the sun or the shade.
The days usually consist of waking up when the sun hits the van (around 7:30 or 8), making coffee, read for a bit, make breakfast, drive to the park, climb, drive back to the grasslands, 
make yummy food (so far we have created pasta with cream sauce and brocolli, sloppy joe corn bread pizza, quesidillas, maple glazed chicken over lemon rice, and something else I can't remember). Then we watch some Alias on Megan's computer, maybe read some more and fall fast asleep.
For the weekend we had a bunch of people from Seattle come down and we sieged climbing spots at Smith. On Saturday it was shipwreck gully (I think I climbed everysingle pitch there, including flight of the killer skud buster missiles or something like that).
On Sunday we took over the pure palm area at the lower gorge. Fortunately for the rest of the climbing community, no one else was there. It was quite a posse.
In other news, Megan is feeling better although her stomach still cramps and her blood pressure is too high, but mentally she is more content. We are trying to eat low sodium, but it can be tricky. We just aren't used to think about salt.
Since it is a rest day, we are in a Yerba Mate cafe in Redmond, OR, drinking Mate and surfing the web. Megan snapped this photo of me focussing on the computer.
So that is it from smith for now. Give a call if you are coming over.

ReplyDeleteHope you're feeling better Megan. It sounds like you guys are having a great time. Your description of the weather makes me miss the great old Pac.NW :( I do think you guys should ditch the van and only ride in a dune buggy though...punch it!
