so as soon as we got out of school on friday we got our gear togeather and left the next mornen!
now we are going to warm up on a quick lap on the nutcracker!
we were thinken to go do the alcove swing a few hundred times then go play around on the pine line!
who ever took down the rope is a real mean person and should go put it back up!
tomarrow we are going to tackel the lost arrow!

That's an awesome trip report, especially considering you guys are 16!! Way to get after it. Lost arrow was my first aid experience in the valley, the exposure is awesome up there.

Rad. Way to put in some mileage boys! Keep learning, be smart, check, check and double check your business out there and keep crushing it! Thanks for the report. Now finish high school and pay attention in spelling class so you can have a real job to fund your adventures down the road! I mean it. Study hard and play hard!

I started a little later at 18, so you have a long way to go.
You really cleaned up in the Valley!

Let's hear it for youthful abandon and all cotton hoodies. Like an old mentor told me, "Never let common sense or fear of low clearance get in the way of a good time!"
Oh, and bonus points for the apolitical keffiyeh. Just don't let that get sucked into your ATC.
