A day off

Poppy, Zane and I headed up to the top of MT. Lemmon.

WE hiked around marshall gulch,we started from the first parking lot area because the gate was closed.
WE checked out the river boulder and scrambled around for abit.
Most of the problems on the boulder were too tough or had a bad landing.
From there we hiked and bushwacked around til we found the Mango boulder.
This took some serious doing but eventually we found it.
On the way down to the boulder Poppy took a spill.
So she's a bit banged up.
Well I worked a few of the problems on Mango boulder.
This thing is brutal, it overhangs by like 45 degrees. The hillside it's perched above is not a good place to fall.
So we stayed for a bit, I started feeling sick and the storm started moving in so we bailed.
Turns out we were up on the mt. all day, it really didn't feel like it. I think we all had a good time.
Zane was all smiles...the cameras batteris were dead. :) But we had the camera!
