We're headed up to Mill Creek today. Yesterday was the same. It's been really cool here in Moab, surprisingly enough, but is starting to heat up once again. Plus, Memorial Day crowds here in Moab are starting to run the place over, so the only option is escape to the mountains. There's a route up there that I really enjoy but is WAY over my head, so I've been working on it piece by piece. It has really cool moves -- although there's one move I still can't do. I'm a little sore today from thrashing myself on it yesterday, plus Mill Creek is super crimpy so your tips get shredded pretty easily. BUT I'm really excited to get on it again, so I'm going back for more anyway.

Also, my friend Ben Moon is in town right now and we're busy shooting photos for my book, Girl on the Rocks. You know, all the instructional pictures that you see in other similar books: "This is what a flag looks like. This is what a sloper looks like, etc." I didn't want to do the pics in the gym like they are in most instructional books, so it's turning out to be a bit more complicated to get the exact move or body position that we want while climbing on routes outside. Worth the effort though, I think, because it'll make the book more pictureque. Thanks, Ben!
