Camping and Climbing with Amy, Brew, and Chris

I went Camping and Climbing with Amy, Brew, and Chris(First time meeting one another) this weekend for some sweet Blair Area / Beehive Climbing Action. It was filled with thrills, chills, spills, food, fun, and folly. I brought home a ton of photos, sore muscles, dirty dishes, and some wonderful memories.

Amy and I climbed the Beehive on Friday after getting up there that evening. We moved a load of my stuff to my new place that afternoon, stopping to grab some things from the stores on the way up .

We ended up getting some free steak from the sweetest older lady who belonged to a Group called the Cow-Belles. Their website is (Wyoming Cattle Women)

We waited to set up camp, and got right up to the Beehive.

Amy caught on pretty quick as she's climbed a little before. We got 2 routes a piece before the sun set. We set up camp at dusk, and ate a sub sandwich for dinner followed closely by S'mores and Roasted Marshmallow's.

Awoke WAY early for me on Saturday, Cooked eggs and biscuits for breakfast, packed up camp, and met Brew and Chris at the Blair Picnic Ground.

We spent a few hours climbing there. Brew and I both shot photos on my camera, and Amy snapped away on her's. I lost a mystery item in a skinny deep crack, as well as my nice glove I use for rappelling. I used my ATC instead of my Figure 8 desender ring, and was not thrilled about it.

We left Blair Wallis and headed back to the Beehive. We enjoyed a nice cool PBR or two, and started dinner which we cooked in my Dutch Oven. We had to wait for the coals to get nice any hot before we headed up to go get a route in before sunset. We came back to the campsite where the Pot Roast was waiting perfectly cooked for us in the bed of coals.

All 4 of us loved every bite of the Pot Roast. Maybe we we were that hungry after our day full of adventure, or it was just that good. We watched the sun set over I-80, and headed back for S'mores. I forgot to add Tapioca to the Mixed Fruit Cobbler that followed the Pot Roast in the dutch over, so it was a bit runny. It didn't stop us from eating it though.

With our 24 pack of PBR gone, and the fire starting to dwindle, Brew and Chris Headed back to Cheyenne, and that left Amy and I to set up the tent with a headlamp and a flashlight. It went rather quickly, but not as quick as it took us to fall asleep.

We woke up around 10 and just as we started to climb out of the tent, Brew and Chris showed up and headed up to climb the Beehive again. Amy and I packed up camp, and realized we didn't have the strength to climb one more day. We headed back to town, cleaned up, and packed some of my stuff before I had to go to work at 5. Amy spent most of the night drawing 2 really cool pictures using my wacom while I worked. It was a really chill way to end the weekend.
