3 Pitch Rock Climb

Saturday, the last day we were in St. George we did a 3 pitch rock climb. Three pitches is where you climb to one set of chains, sit on a ledge and wait for everyone to climb to that pitch and then do it over till you reach the top. We were so lucky to have a cooler day, it was only about 80 degrees and overcast. It made the climb even more enjoyable because we weren't sweating to death from the heat. I know only 80, but when we drove into town on Thursday it was 113.

On another note:

So while we were in St. George I found some Roxy luggage at TJ Max for $80. It came with a carry-on, duffel bag, and a backpack. I was so excited. But with buying new stuff you have to get rid of the old. I have been traveling with this peice of luggage for 11 years. It has been to two islands in the Bahamas, Cozumel Mexico, the Channel Islands on a live aboard boat twice, Hawaii, California several times, several overnighters at too many places to list and probably a lot of places I can't remember. The stablizer on the bottom that makes it not tip over has been gone for at least 2 years, it has several holes and the zipper started to not work, so I decided it was definatly time to retire it. So long good travel buddy.
