Day off. The kids and I worked the afternoon on climbing. We have added some overhang climbs to our wall and it's good to see them unable to climb a section. The wall has been a bigger thing for the kids than I imagined it might be. Every morning Shelby hauls herself straight down to the wall and starts climbing. She's technically safe now solo with ascenders and rigging.

Beautiful run covering the entire Sloan Range South to North along the ridge. Peaked over Black Mountain south of Vegas. 80 degrees today and felt like I could have ran all day. Not a soul for nearly seven hours on these trail. I think 10 lbs of winter fat is a great benefit on these long slow runs.
