Maple Canyon

The week after Flagstaff we made the transition from bouldering to sport climbing by taking a trip to Maple Canyon. It's a beautiful place overflowing with an abundance of trees and cobblestone cliffs. This year we were also accompanied by lots of little critters! Yellow monarch butterflies were fluttering everywhere, the squirrels would NOT leave our camp alone, and our bread and bagels were stolen from our cooler by raccoons!  

On our rest day Casey and I decided to hike the loop trail. It was a pretty steep incline but the view from the lookout was pretty incredible.

We were excited on Friday and Saturday to be joined by Tommy, Bridget, Kara, and Casey's parents. It's always fun climbing with friends and family!

I reached my goal of becoming a 5.13a belayer!! As Casey accomplished his goal of redpointing Sluggo. It was an awesome send!
