September 7, 2005 - Escaping the heat of Vegas...and Life

I always love exploring new climbing areas. I got the chance to visit Mt. Charleston last year but it was on a rest day so we didn’t climb. Today, Edison and I sampled the limestone of this beautiful area. It’s hard to believe that it was a billion degrees in the shade down in Las Vegas but 45 minutes away, we were hanging out amongst the towering pine trees of Mt. Charleston, enjoying the cool, mountain breezes. It was enjoyable moving over the steep stone, pushing physical limits again.

It’s so very nice to be guests at our dear friend’, Doug and Trang’s place in Las Vegas. After a hard day of climbing, we can enjoy the pleasure of the company of friends, lounging around like lucky dogs.

Edison also has a comfortable place to make his important call back home.
