iClimb

First off, watch this video. . . Sunto Core. Have you clicked on the link yet? Ok, now look at our fun pictures.


Last night we finalized plans for climbing some mountains that surround Chihuahua. Our neighbors, the Meissners, are outdoorsy types, so they were involved. If you look in ANY direction from our house, you'll see mountains; we decided to climb the closest one today. So we woke up at 6:00am, beat the sun out of bed, strapped on the trusty old Sunto Core wristwatch (this makes more sense if you watch the video), and made our way to the base. It looked impressive from far away, but at the base, it started losing it's luster. As we drove closer, it seemed to shrink, mostly due to the roads leading right up to 850ft from the summit. However, it was a TECHNICAL 850 feet, involving lots of loose rock, steep crags, and high winds:

You can see me taking an altitude reading on my watch in this picture:

And finally, we have reached the summit,

. . . and the view was amazing.
