Four Sports in Four Days

Packed the car to the hilt with camping, climbing, biking, surf, and skateboard gear and headed to SC after school on Friday. Got an evening of surf and then off to Pinnacles with good old friends and Ernesto the "Italian Stallion." who joined me in Red Rocks the weekend before. Great ocean time and then a full day of climbing with the kids. Found a great long wall with plenty of holds and not too steep. The kids all just ate it up. Then Ernesto and I headed to some Pinnacles classic routes: Ordeal, Swallows Crack, and Wet Kiss. I had not been to Pinnacles in 14 years. It felt like home again and brought back many good memories of beginning to climb in college in SC.

JASPER SAYS: Our Spring Break was really fun. We went to Pinnacles and camped and we rock climbed and we went caving. At camp it was really hot in the day and really hot at night. On the first night we gnocchi and sausages. For dessert we roasted marshmallows and we made Swiss chocolate s'mores. The next day we had macaroni and stake and then we had chocolate cake. The Easter Bunny came and we got a bucket with chocolate eggs, gummy banana slugs, a giant chocolate bunny, and hen gumball dispenser.

On the second day we were there we went rock climbing. We set up two top ropes and I climbed both of them. I climbed the blue rope 3 times and the orange rope 2 times and it wasn't scary. Our friends Gabbi, Maya, Morgan, and Veronica climbed with us. The caves were really fun because you got to climb around rocky and dark places and you had to bring a flashlight in because it was dark.

Before and after we went to Pinnacles we stopped at Santa Cruz. the main thing we did in Santa Cruz was surf. The surf was really fun and I got pounded by a couple of waves on my boogie board.

SILAS SAYS: We went to a campsite and when it was Easter we got chocolate eggs, gummy banana slug, and small gumballs and a mother chick and you took of the head and you put the gumballs in and then you put the head on and then you push the feet down and the gumball came out. I climbed the First Sister at Pinnacles. I liked it.
