ROCK CLIMBING!!!! YEAH!!!

KC and I try to have a date night once a week. We started out taking turns planning it. As it turns out, KC is terrible at planning dates. If I make him plan it, I can fairly well predict what we're going to do. Go get salted caramel ice cream from either Smith's or Harmon's. Yeah. That's nice once in a while, but not every other week. I like variety.

As it turns out, however, KC is VERY good at spur-of-the-moment dates. Those are always epic! So we changed tactics and now I plan a potential date for each week but if KC has a good idea he can take over the date.

So far, he's taken me rock climbing twice. :D He knows me so well. Although I suspect he was thinking of himself just as much as he was thinking about me.

 It's not the funnest drive down to Momentum in Sandy, but KC drives so it's ok. On Monday, he had me drive and we had to turn around halfway there because I forgot our gear... Oops. So now he drives so that I won't be thinking about everything at once and forget stuff.

It's so expensive to climb here in Salt Lake! I loved climbing in Vernal, since the rec center is so inexpensive. Besides that, you have to spend more in fuel here. So we don't go very often. Thus, when we got there the first time, neither of us could climb the hard routes. This is what happened after I finished a 5.10c...

So basically, I died. I finished the route though! KC laughed at me for, like, ten minutes! It wasn't nice... Then he took a picture... Then posted it on facebook... Whatever.

Last time we went, however, I easily finished a 5.10c. :) I think I did a 5.10d as well, but I can't remember. And it wasn't even all that difficult at all. Of course, the trick is to believe in yourself. I got my mojo back! Whoohoo! KC's still working on it though. He finished all the routes I did, and he has the skill for it, but he's not as confident. So it was more difficult for him. I'm excited to go back and move up to the 5.11's.

Oh and guess what?!? They're building another Momentum climbing gym slightly closer to us! It'll open in the fall! Maybe we'll be able to get a membership then and go all the time!
