Climbing at skinners butte

Went with friends to skinners butte. Hugh absolutely loved it…. Katja did too.

Hugh V was the first to summit.

We made it home.

We made it home Saturday night. Thanks a good friend in Portland for keeping our minivan while we were away. By Sunday the kids felt at home.

I took my kids climbing today. It was an early morning with a 7:15 am departure. Becky was there to cheer us on. Managing two active kids and setting top ropes is just beyond my current capacity. This was Hugh’s first time climbing with ropes. Katja, much more experienced has moved from being satisfied with half an assent to cheering when topping a route.

She looks small from the top.

This is the first time she went to the top!

One of the things my kids enjoy are climbing walls or climbing gyms.

The climbing gym 2nd time

Thu, 11 Jan 2018 23:25:58 +0000

I took Katja to the climbing gym again. It is really fun to watch her. She gives it good effort. This time she really wanted to use chalk. It is really hard to belay your daughter and take photos. She got all the way up to H on the alphabet wall and then wanted chalk. I couldn’t give it to her so she got mad and then she couldn’t think about coming down clearly. The shoes are a bit big still.
