Colorado Trip - Day 2, Rock Climbing

Look at my adorable little rock climber.

We all woke up on Day 2 to this beautiful view...

We finally got to see Uncle Wes and ate some breakfast. The first thing that Uncle Wes wanted to do with Miss B was rock climb ~ so he took her to an amazing nearby rock climbing gym...

He is an avid rock climber and got her all suited up...

Walking into the gym was amazing. It was huge...

Bri was so excited...

Wes started small - showed her the ropes. She has rock climbed before, but nothing to this extent...

Then he got her harnessed up...

Up she went, she started with the yellow rocks...

Right to the top...

Aunt Ann then joined us a little while later and scaled the wall while Bri took a quick rest...

Wes showed Bri some exercises to help with fatigued hands...

Then she scaled the wall again on the pink rocks this time...

Then Wes took her to a section of the gym with even higher walls ~ if you can believe it...

He harnessed her up again...

And up she went (Wes is at the very bottom of the photo, and that is how high she was ~ talk about heart attack)...

Then Wes decided to scale the wall himself...

Happy smiles after lots of climbing...

Then Wes wanted to show Bri a little bouldering. Bouldering is actually tougher than scaling a huge wall ~ who knew?

After several hours at the gym, Bri's arms were very tired (and very sore the next day!), but she had an absolute blast. When we ask what her favorite part of Colorado was, she says rock climbing!!!
