Photograph of woman in climbing harness standing above Park Avenue in Arches - an exquisite view of strange redrock formations. She's smiling and making a peace sign with her fingers.

Cold but Warm

This was a fun second date at U-Turn in Arches National Park, complete with a straight-up scramble, my tallest rappel to date (where the rope was a bit too fat for my rappel device and I took a while to get down), snacks and deep conversation, and a bout of proctalgia fugax. Poor guy, he took it well and we set up a second date. 😜
