Twinsies!

So on Sunday night, Ian and I pulled into the grocery store and I went "Twinsy!". I've been saying this every time we see a dodge sprinter, but this time it truly was our twin. There was a solar panel and roof vent on top and a guy sitting outside it with his dog. So we parked and walked over to say hey and check it out. It was awesome, they converted the van and organized it quite similarly to ours. So we chatted for a bit and ended up hanging out at camp for the rest of the evening. They are a young couple who are on an extended rock climbing road trip. I think it's pretty amazing that we found a van almost the same as ours and people doing a very similar trip.


We've been climbing in Flagstaff for a couple of days now, and made it out to the Overlook to do some trad climbing on Sunday (where we use gear to protect the climb). The rock was basalt and pretty cool to climb on - it was the first time for either of us climbing on that type of rock. Monday we went back to the Pit to climb some sport and ended up doing some fun ones. Our hands are starting to show the normal signs of wear and tear, but we are starting to feel stronger already.

Piton is enjoying herself and seems to have settled into life in the van. She made a new friend the other night, Hueco, from the twinsy van and had a blast running around the camp site. She's enjoying her days in the sun and seems to find odd places sleep when we are out climbing. Right before this shot her eyes were closed and her head was resting on that rock - what a pillow!


We are still rocking out to the XM radio, and I'm particularly enjoying it for playoff hockey. I only miss a game now when I forget to turn it on! Thanks again to Pete, Natalie, Brent, and CJ! :)
