Weekends like these are the ones you remember. Nothing but good company and good activities that make you feel like you want to barf…
Here is the breakdown of Saturday in Wyoming.
Saturday was spent climbing at a local crag (a steep or rugged cliff or rock face.) right outside of Grant Teton National Park. We woke up bright and early to get the cold rock most people I know try and avoid climbing in intense heat not that its not a thing but the rock gets hot, hands get sweaty, and suns in the eyes and nobody wants to belay or climb with the sun high beaming the eyeballs. The views were amazing as the sun peeked out, the mountains slowly started to show it was a sight to see. You climb the 80 feet steep rock face and you get a good view of the valley ahead and the Teton mountain range. Drove straight back to the campground with an empty stomach and aching fingers.
Eliza pressured me to shower at the campground. We were staying at a the Colter Bay campground inside GTNP. Eliza had these campground reservations since March. Ive spent the entire year either camping on BLM or National Forest Land, never paying for a single campground so this was a great change for comfort. Eliza pressured me to shower at the shower stations they had available for use for a whopping five fucking dollars. I was fucking blown out of my mind that I paid 5 dollars for a shower cant lie though it felt good to get the dirt off my legs, I shouldn’t complain ive spent so much time not showering because of work that when a shower is available I just take it. Dinner time.. Eliza cooked tikka masala and rice for dinner her specialty. I say specialty because she’s been cooking the same damn thing every time we camp. We didn’t waste much time we cleaned up and headed to sleep early we were planning a huge hike Sunday. Hiking up Middle Teton isnt an easy feat its over 9.7k of elevation gain and roughly 16 miles. It was an important hike for me since i fell so short summiting it during the winter time a much more difficult endeavor. So I was laser focused on getting this done.
