We are very excited for our next adventure as it includes meeting up with friends from home! The first time since we left that we meet up with some Rosslanders! Mike Kent and Andy Holmes come to Joshua Tree for some fun climbing in the sun!
Nous avons aussi rencontrer leurs amies Leanne et Tracy de Pemberton. We also met their friends Leanne and Tracy from Pemberton!
Nous nous sommes vraiment amuses et avons beaucoup ri! We really had fun and shared some good laughs!
First we stop at the Five Ten Warehouse which is about to move to Europe for an excellent timing of a massive crazy sale! We were able to get kitted out in climbing shoes! Here we are happy with our purchase!
Premier arret, l'entrepot de Five Ten a Redding pour leur vente de demenagement. On a pu s'equiper en souliers d'escalades avant d'arriver a J.Tree.
Premiere escalade a Joshua Tree. Les garcons nous surprennent avec leur aise a grimper!
First climb in Joshua Tree. The boys surprise us with their ease and how natural they are.
New Year's Eve: We make our own fireworks by putting a dead tumble weed in our fire! Whiz! boum! Crack! We had smores and everything you need for a good time!
La veille du jour de l'an: nous avons fait nos propres feux d'artifices en mettant un buisson mort dans notre feu de camp! Whoosh! Crac! Pop! On a grillé des guimauves avec biscuit graham et chocolat fondu! Tout le necessaire pour dire aurevoir a 2017 et souhaiter la bienvenue a 2018!
Janurary First! Who do we see at the crag? Mike Kent (we have to say both names not sure why) and Andy! we were very happy and excited to see them!
Le premier Janvier! Qui voit-on a la roche d'escalade? Mike Kent et Andy! nous etions tres excites de les voir a ce que vous pouvez constater sur la photo!
Autres grimpes. More climbing.
Lost a tooth in the Joshua Tree desert! Perdu sa dent dans le desert!
Andy leading a climb.
Some people take selfies instead of looking at the climbers!
The Twentynine Palms post office brings us some xmas prezzies from Anthony and Helen. 2 Lego sets and the boys do not want to wait for daylight, so they assemble them at night at the campsite with headlamps!
Day 3 of climbing:
Leanne is a brave climbing leader! Which is awesome that the boys get to see the best at climbing in our group is a woman! YEAH! They were well impressed!
A special picture for me as I think my dad would have loved to see his daughter and grandson climbing at the same time. One is struggling way more than the other...
There was a lot of bromance action and cuddles!
A really fun group climbing day at Real Hidden Valley:
We also meet up with Liz and her very adorable cutie boy Sage.
Henri and Charlie take to him immediately!
We were sad to see everyone leave but so happy to have spent time with this lovely group at Joshua Tree!!
So awesome to spend time with you all in beautiful J-Tree! Thanks for the great company and super fun climbing. And great photos as well! Have a wonderful time in your journey and I look forward to the next time we meet up. Bon voyage!
