Hello from Utah!
Our group has spent the last week camping and learning how to crack climb in Indian Creek, Utah–which is home to some of the best crack climbing in the world. For the majority of the group climbing cracks is a new skill that has been exciting to experiment with and learn more about. We had four days full of learning new technical skills such as hand, fist, and foot jams as well as one day of service on a climbing approach trail. It’s been fun to see how quickly everyone has grown comfortable on the beautiful sandstone cracks we’ve been spending our days on.
Despite some cold nights in the desert spirits are high here in Indian Creek as we reach nearly halfway through our semester at HMI. We are all excited for many more days of climbing, service, and finding bananas in strange locations ( a group inside joke.).
