TRISTAN'S THIRD BLOG =)

Hello readers.
In this blog I shall talk about several key points and some high lights of my trip.
The subjects I shall talk about are listed below.

• Climbing
• Building anchors
• Van camping
• Storms
• Thomas
• And last but not least, my favorite part about my trip.

Ok so like I listed the first thing I will talk about is climbing and building anchors. The climbing site that I climbed at is called the Ice Cream Parlor. I don’t know why but that’s what it is called. The actual route was a 5.6 or a 5.7 not that challenging for me but it was fun though. I was the last one to climb the route because Tim was teaching me how to build a 3 point anchor system. Tim is so smart and I really like him as a staff. I feel that there is so much I can learn from him.

So know you know what my system is for writing this blog and the format. Let’s move on to van camping. Van camping is a lot like car camping but with a van that is on steroids. So we were van camping in Canyon Lands in Utah. I have to say Utah has to be one of the most beautiful places on earth it has so much biodiversity going on. You have canyons to deserts and the crystal clear night sky. I loved van camping because you still get the luxuries of the front country when you are in the back country.

So on the first day of van camping we ran in to some foul weather, but that did not stop us. We set up camp tarps and all that good stuff. We had rain and all but what was the most interesting to me was the hail at the beginning of my trip. The hail was the size of dimes! We only had two cases of stormy days in my opinion.


Thomas is a street racer in Colorado. The reason he is in my blog is because he made a good day great. He talked to us like he has known us for years. He is pretty chill. He gave Evan and I an oatmeal cream pie thing. It was like a moon pie except with oatmeal. He also said if you ever get into street racing do the race on an old track not on the streets.
My favorite part of the trip would have to be climbing as you may know already. Climbing had to be my favorite part because climbing is what I love to do. What makes it even cooler is that got to learn how to build a three point anchor system.
To conclude this would have to be one of the coolest trips I have ever been on at SOAR.

SEE Y’ALL NEXT TIME FOLKS!!!!!
