Adam and I had been planning on heading to Mexico in the end of March for the last 6 months. Unfortunately schedules didn't quite work out to allow that to happen but we were able to get out for a few days. We visited some great limestone sport climbing areas in the St. George area and then climbed two routes in Zion National Park.

After climbing with Adam I headed back to work for 2 days. Then it was time to go to Arkansas to visit Grandma Boyer. Unfortunately the weather was bad enough that Arkansas was flooding. So Amanda and I changed plans and once again headed west. We stopped in Springdale for a few days to visit Geoff and Janice. Geoff and Janice had to work but we were able to visit in the evenings and then go climbing while they were at work during the day.

The next stop was visiting Clay and Linda in Yucca Valley. The last time I was in Joshua Tree was in 2002 so it was time to revisit the area. Our finger tips were trashed from 3 days of sport climbing so our first day there we did some hiking and sight seeing with Clay as our guide. Then a day of climbing at the Hemingway Wall. On our final day we decided to go checkout the Mt. San Jacinto State Park. We took the tram up and were pleasantly surprised to find a mountainous paradise with cool temps and all!

We split up the drive back by climbing in Lime Kiln Canyon again. Two great trips back to back!
