Back to Washington

A lot has happened since my last post. I'll try to keep it short and let the pictures do the talking. First we left Joe's Valley to go climb in the La Sal mountains of Utah. We climbed there for a day before moving on to Moab. Once in Moab we climbed the North Face of Castleton Tower 5.11a. After Castleton we went to a local swimming hole and did some cliff jumping and slacklining over the water. From here we decided to head back to Washington to see friends and family and do some climbing around home. This involved a stop by Arches National Park and then 28hrs. straight of driving with a stop in Yellowstone to see the Geyser go off. Now that I'm back in Washington I spent a day aid soloing City Park in Index and just got back from four days in the Picket Range with Miles, that will be in the next post.
