April 11-12, 2015

Carly and I have been super busy and haven’t been able to get away for a weekend of climbing in quite a long time.  We thought about it and we haven’t camped since early November at least–very disappointing.  Well finally we were able to get away over the weekend and went down to the San Rafael Swell in the desert.  It was a great time with our friends Eric and Aleisha and their new pup, Bella.  Weather was a hot in the sun and cold in the shade, typical desert weather.  I felt good climbing and I’m looking forward to ramping up into a climbing specific training plan.

Looking down Buckhorn Wash.
Interesting errosion features at the base of the wall.
Desert flowers.
Cooking breakfast like the coyboys did. A NO match fire as there were still some coals from the previous night.

It was a little cold in the shade but better than the sun which was too hot.
Rock art near the cliff we were climbing at.
Very detailed rams in the rock from who knows how long ago.
Bella on the lookout for strangers parking near our cars.
Enjoying the \"Little Grand Canyon\" view.
This was our first time to this overlook and there's some camping just off the rim that we might use some time.
Great view to cap off a great weekend in the desert.
Looking towards the mouth of Buckhorn Wash. Dylan Wall is in this general direction.
Our camp and climbing were up the main canyon heading off to the left.
