Today was my first climbing day at Ten Sleep Canyon -and I'm SO HAPPY to be climbing on a rope again! This month, I'll be staying with Alli Rainey and Kevin Wilkinson -and today they let me come along as the third person in their party. Mind you, this is kind of like a tricycle with two shiny, spinny wheels and one that's all sticky and bent. But no matter, they belayed my silly body up some of the most fun climbs I've done in a while!
Today we climbed at the Slavery Wall, which sometimes goes by the name of "Poop Your Pants Because Climbing is so Fun Wall". The best part about climbing three is that someone can be taking pictures all the time. So we busted out the cameras and went to town.

Majestic birds and climber
Folks from Colorado, Montana, Texas, and more all parking the proper way
Kevin on a big linkup of a bunch of routes I can't remember. The resulting amalgamation name is something like "Big Penis Dumptruck Burden Backflip". I promise to pay more attention to route names and other specifics in the future. (Alli Rainey Photo)
