Day -4: Journey to Boulder

*Note: Having found the device to connect my camera storage to my tablet I can include pictures now!

Last night was incredibly windy, but our tarp held this time so clearly Jake and I are learning something about setting up tarps. In that regard this climbing trip has been invaluable for testing things for the PCT. We already discovered that a single 10x10 tarp isn't enough room for two grown men, so we'll be picking up another tarp in our downtime in San Diego.

We struck camp after breakfast (more bacon on the bacon rock!) and headed back to Cactus Cliff but to our horror there was a tour group climbing the routes we were planning to use. Fortunately we were able to find some other fun routes to climb. We finished climbing around 1 and hiked back to drive to Boulder.

We hit Boulder around 6pm and very hungry. Kelsey took us to eat at a burger bar a few blocks from her apartment, and then graciously let us use her shower (one of the last for awhile). Jake and I repacked to separate our PCT and climbing gear so that the climbing gear can go home with Dean, Katie, and Jon. Now to bed before a very early flight.

Tomorrow we will be in beautiful San Diego. Hopefully.
