Father and Son

Our schedules finally worked so that I could take my old man up his first multi-pitch climb. I chose to take us up the Queen Victory Spire in Sedona, AZ. It is a cheesy, chossy but incredibly fun route. We will be climbing the pointy spire on the right.


Again, his warrior beard glows with confidence as he begins to set himself aloof from those around him...until he realizes hes being guided by his son...who now also has a beard.

 Quickly he begins to check his gear to make sure he hasn't made a mistake in front of a beard as awesome as mine.

Triumphant...the most manly men with the most manly beards summit the hardest spire in all of the world

The view wasnt bad either




 Of course on the way down we ran into our twins in the form of Tarantula spiders
 Below we have the old...slow moving grandpa who looks crusted with experience...

 For reference, this guy is the size of my hand
  
And below we have the young, fit and ferocious son
