what are the odds

pass, so back to the crag for us! again, we hiked iso here we are in las vegas... it's excellent, except for the teeny tiny fact that it's really cold and has been on and off pouring rain-- yes, i'm serious. today we went to Red Rock Canyon to climb. the area is absolutely beautiful! it was a bit cold this morning, but we hiked in anyway, and MOMENTS before we started to climb it began to pour cold rain. seriously. so we left to go to the Red Rock Casino, which was fun, but not what we had planned. i played in a giant game of BINGO! i did not win but it was still very fun and i must admit i am tempted to go find another game of bingo... then we realized the weather had cleared up and we had already bought the day pass to the park, so we headed back-- this time to a different area-- and i get all suited up to lead. dan cautions me that i have maybe, oh, 10 minutes until this ominous cloud comes rolling in. yeah, that was enough to freak me out, so i basically epic-ed a 5.7 sport climb as it began to slightly rain, and get really windy. probably didn't help that we didn't exactly know where the route ended... but i live to tell! we made it out, again very wet and cold, but happy none the less-- it's just nice to be on vacation. i hope the weather will warm up tomorrow, because we're going to try the cliffs one more time!!
