Climbing: The World's Loneliest Sport

By now it seems that it wouldn't be summer without a week at Crux Rock Gym. This year it was Hannah that made the most apparent improvement. That was especially evident as Mike watched them climb the local basalt columns. Hannah tackled a new route this year with perseverance and growing confidence. For Trevor, it's getting to be a little too routine. Expect him to look for greater challenges next year. He's old enough to move up and climb with older kids and learn new techniques.

Who knows... Maybe he's up for an assault on the North Face of the Uxbridge Road...

Hannah's Happenings

Hannah has had loads of fun this past year. Her favorite summer camp was over-night at Camp Harlow where she slept in a cabin with her school buddy, Madeline. She is in 4 th grade this year and is having fun in math with fractions, long division, and common factors. Hannah just finished playing KidSports volleyball with her class mates. She is very excited about Christmas with her Aunts - Judy and Sally, and with Grandma and Grandpa, and “Uncle” Tim (Jolyn's cousin) who she hasn't seen in a very long time.

Summer Peak '05

Mike went with a group of high school youth and a couple other adults on a four day retreat in the Oregon Cascades. They stayed at Fairview Peak Lookout and spent time reading, praying, hiking and just hanging out together. As you can see , it was a great time and is a really cool place.
