Well here are som pics of our room. We are staying at the Red Cliffs Lodge. It is right on the Colorado River and our room is on a little creek. The hotel is also a winery.
Today was our first rock climbing day. We went to a crag called "ice cream parlor" in the morning and did some face climbing and learned about lead climbing and multi-pitch. We climbed up to 5.10 We had 3 hours for lunch to avoid the hottest part of the day. We had a nice lunch and walked around town. We found a used book store and bought some books and read for a while. That afternoon we went to a place called "wall street'. It was literally on the side of the road so it was really nice because we didn't have to do any hiking to get to the climb. We leaned about crack climbing and did some check out climbs to make sure we were ready for "ancient art". We did a rediculously hard climb called minnie me so that our guide could check our "determination. I did a cool 5.8+ crack called 30 seconds over potash and did some real easy lead climbing. Here are some pics of my crack.(I bet you never thought you would want to look at pictures of my crack)
