Ten Sleep

We finally made it to Ten Sleep, a crag up in Wyoming we've been wanting to go to for years. We often go back to the same crags over and over, but once in a while its nice to explore somewhere new.  It was a 5 day trip, and I wasn't sure how it would go with Logan since he can no longer be confined to a pack and play.  It actually turned out pretty well-- we managed to get him to nap at the crag each day (only for an hour, but still helpful) so I got a couple routes in while he slept.  The rest of the time he toddled around practicing his crag walking skills and getting really dirty.  We had lollipops and Mark's phone for times when we needed to bribe him to sit quietly.  He had a couple minor breakdowns, but mostly enjoyed himself, and also managed not to get hurt.  Success.  

There isn't a whole lot to do around Ten Sleep besides climbing unless you want to drive a long way, so on our rest days, we hiked around the crag some more staring at rocks and ate at the only open restaurant in town, the Saloon.  It turned out to be pretty entertaining for Logan because they had all sorts of heads on the walls-- moose, bear, elk, deer, and a whole mountain lion.  We explored all the playgrounds in town, and when we ran out, we moved on to the metropolis of Worland 25 miles away to check out all theirs. Rest day highlights included hiking to some different looking rocks and going to the grocery store.

Mark sending his project.  It is very important in climbing not to take "butt shots" so we clip the camera to the end of the stick clip, turn the timer on, and hold it up in the air.  If you do it enough times, you usually get a good one.

Time to go home
