We climbed all day. I led anything 5.9 and under and the guys led a couple of 10s and 11s. I top-roped my first outdoor 10b! It took a little flailing, but I got it done.
The next day we climbed in the morning and then headed to Sinks Canyon to cool off in the local swimming hole. To get there we had to hike 1.5 miles along a pretty big creek. After some uphill walking we finally got to our destination - a pretty large pool of water that had a natural slide leading to it! So awesome!
The guys ran up and went down the slide right away, but I was being a chicken since the water was so cold. Eventually I figured I'm only at a place like this once so I better take advantage of it. So down I went. It was so much fun that as soon as I got out and ran up and went down again. It was about 25 ft from the water, with the last 6 ft or so free falling.
There were quite a few people there, for how far of a hike it is. Mostly high school kids. After about an hour Frank's co-workers showed up as well. There were 5 of them climbing in the same area as us. They brought a big watermelon, which they proceeded to chop open with a machete. Baseball style. One person threw it and another girl chopped it in half. Pretty damn funny.
The breeze was pretty chilly so we headed back down into town and re-supplied on water and groceries. Glorious day.
