Passing the years at the City of Rocks...

|
Koren and I didn't get up to the City of Rocks as much as I would have liked during our stay in Utah. Perhpas that's why the time I spent there stands out so vividly in my memories. It definately has much to do with the people who shared those times with us. It seems like everyone that I climbed with during those two years made it to the City for one of the birthday trips.
As great as the climbing is, I will always love that place more for the memories from those two trips, than from the experiences on the rock.
The pictures below are divided into the two trips...

 We climbed so many lines on this formation and we were such a large group that we fixed a rap line for everyone to use while we were there. |
