KOTR Spring Meet n Greet

So this past weekend was the Korea on the Rocks Spring Meet n Greet. Les, Sarah (one of my awesome co-workers) and I headed to Seonunsan Provincial Park, and holy moly was it fantastic! We camped, had a campfire, ate ginormous beany-cheesy burritos for dinner and banana-walnut pancakes for breakfast, drank, and, of course, climbed. That's where it got really good!

For the first time, I was able to lead an entire route. Essentially this means that rather being protected from a rope tied to me from above (easiest way of climbing), I carried the rope up with me and clipped it to the rock as I climbed, which is more difficult and technically more dangerous because the possibility of bigger falls increases. But Mom, Grandma, don't freak out...I was on a super easy route and did well. This was a really big accomplishment for me--I am super proud of myself! Here are some pics from the weekend.
