| partners | | One dog, four humans, one climb, six rappels, four Benedryl, one nose bleed, and one hematoma! Seven Cataracts! Simply amazing!!!!!!
We parked at the end of the Willow Canyon road and skirted the lake over to Rose Hill. We did at least one climb each. I hadn't climbed in a while so it was like starting from scratch when it came to the harness and attaching the rope. We did a 5.8 route. I did pretty good considering I've only climbed a few times.
Then we bushwhacked into Willow canyon and rock hopped down to almost the start of the seven cataracts. We took a break for a few minutes as Roo's pack was adjusted and I had a bad nose bleed (due to allergies).
We got to the top and got ready. The first rappel was pretty easy (we had broken a longer one into two). But the second got me. The rope slipped and I fell. I guess I hit my head - but no worries I had my helmet on. I did bang my leg pretty good. After that fall, I pretty much ungracefully finished that rappel.
We had one rappel in which we went over a lip and then rappelled in the air. That took a lot of core muscle work which surprised me.
On one rappel a hummingbird came pretty close to me. It was neat seeing it's colors light up.
Throughout all this, Roo, a standard poodle rappelled down with his daddy. I can't imagine all the crazy thoughts going through that dog's head...
My allergies are so bad from being out all weekend I could just cry... I, also, think I'll hurt tomorrow, but this was worth it! |
