Every year, in the fall, we go to Moab with my in-laws. The best part about Moab is the climbing. There are some of my favorite climbs I've ever done there. In addition, it's not sweltering hot in the fall.
This is my favorite climb down there. I can't remember it's name or rating but it always seems just right. There are really tough parts, moderately hard parts and then a couple places to catch your breath. I love the feeling when you get to the top even though your feet and forearms are hurting it's a sweet victory.
This is Anthony on the same climb. I love to watch him climb because every once in a while he manages to look just like Spiderman :)
Before Lachlan was even born I gave Anthony a pair of tiny climbing shoes for father's day. They were the smallest I could find and they match Anthony's. Unfortunately, Lachlan has grown out of them so we tried having him climb barefoot. That didn't work so well because the rocks were hot and he couldn't get traction so we did his hiking boots instead. Either way, he loves to climb. He's just a little timid about the rappel back down.
