WELL. Today we're going to check out a new climbing gym in Salt Lake called Momentum. Supposed to be pretty nice. Miss Lisa Hathaway (always a life saver) is mailing me my passport, so I can't leave for Canadalandia until that arrives. (Did you know that Canadians can get into the states without a passport but the same is not true for us?)
Anyhoo, with all the hub-bub of getting back into the states, photos, videos, trade shows, etc. I realized that I never actually wrote all that much about South Africa.
SO, I thought I would ask you guys: what do you want to know about my trip? Anything? If so, ask away and I'm more than happy to answer!

Someone just posted this on mountain project about Longs Peak, just curious if you have any info.
About a mile up the trail (we left the trailhead at 2:10 AM), we saw lights headed down the trail (never a good thing at that hour, as that often has 'epic' written all over it). There was a woman, and a man; the man looked like he was in pain, had his right foot taped up. I asked if he was okay, he said 'no.' They were brief, they said that they had been climbing the Yellow Wall...I assume that he fell or otherwise injured himself, but they offered no details. They also declined help from us.
After returning to the trailhead at a little after noon, we were signing the day use register, and I noticed a note posted on the board. I'm not sure if it was real or not, but it clearly read, "Sara, I broke my leg and am headed to the hospital...Chris Sharma"
