Adventures from October

I could make this long... but really, I think we all have better things to do (can you tell Ben is making me post this right now?) Anyway... Here goes:

We went bouldering at the 26th St. boulders in Ogden, UT. Pretty sweet bouldering, but some high stuff! We only had one crash pad and each other, so the top-out options were really limited.

We also went for a little hike in Kelly Canyon. Our climbing plans ending up getting cut short that night, but we had a blast hiking and watching the sun set. Plus, Fisher is an adorable poof-ball in his monkey snowsuit.

I also did the Cube cyclocross. I got conned into it, and ended up taking the race easy and hanging out with my sister, who did really awesome! It was my first time "mountain biking" on a road bike, but I found my road bike does awesome on grass, and the gravel was okay if I had a little speed. Here's a pic of Steph and I crossing one of the "barriers":

I was so happy to see Ben race too! I was going to con him into, and talked to his boss, who blew my little bubble by saying someone else already got him to do it. So Ben had a blast, and did really well for being in hiking boots and a couple pairs of pants, riding a girls bike (which had a pretty pink seat!) and wearing Steph's bright purple helmet. He ended up getting 4th out of 11 for his category!
Lastly, winter bouldering has once again begun. We've been cranking out the climbs and hanging at the Cocoa Bean after to revamp all those burnt calories.
