Cliffhangers

Here's some pictures of the family rock climbing trip we had a few weeks back, out in Wasootch. Tyler knows a bit about the sport, and brought enough equipment to keep two climbers and two belayers going, so we set up two routes and made a day of it.

A family from their ward was also there, and they had some harnesses small enough for kids, so Lucy and Emma got to try climbing for a bit. They both did really well until they hit the "above Dad's head" mark, and then they wanted down.

We thought it was best if Emma's Mom didn't climb while she's pregnant, but we managed to get my Mom a good ways up the side of the mountain. She climbed really well and got a badge of honour in the form of a scraped elbow while she was up there.

It was a lot of fun, the weather was great, and everything was going really well, but what happened later that day was something that nobody could have predicted...
