A weekend camping and climbing on Boulder River

Cady, Manfred, Winifred (hedgehog) and I spent the weekend climbing at Natural Bridge and Falls State Park and exploring the endless Boulder River. Sam met up with us for some climbing in the Foyer and the three of us climbed every south facing route there (6 routes). I had an injury to my right hand that rendered me useless for rope gunning and didnt think I was even going to get to climb but Sam put the rope up for us on each one and I was able to tough it out. Fun easy day of climbing. Afterwards we bounced up the road with the Gypsy Wagon all the way to Hells Canyon to camp. Empty campground. Sunday we unloaded Cadys motorcycle and rode tandem up to the Box Canyon Ranger station with intentions of going up to Independence, an old ghost town, but the road got too rough for two people on a little dirt bike. Found some amazing roadside boulders/bouldering potential though.






The Foyer is that slot below the chockstone boulder upper right.
These are big, bigger than they look.

For instance....

Betcha theres some ice up there.
That super moon or whatever its called was pretty sweet to see.
