Girls Gone Wild part 2

So after rafting we went up to the Royal Gorge Bridge. Hanging 1,053 feet above Colorado’s wild Arkansas River, the Royal Gorge Bridge is the world's highest suspension bridge and a legendary feat of engineering renowned the world over. It was an amazing lesson in perspective. The bridge was small, the gorge was big and the rapids were huge when we were rafting. The gorge was huge, the bridge was big and the rapids were small from the bridge.

The next morning was our first day of climbing. We showed up at Red Rock Canyon we were a few minutes early but not only were our guides there they had already rigged two climbs. The climbing at Red Rock was awesome! We started on a 5.6 and 5.7 then rigged a new spot and did a 5.7, 5.8 and 5.9. After the 5.9 they wanted us to try a 5.10 but we were getting pretty tired and wanted to finish with a win so we did another easy climb.Michele's first climb
