Caleb's Intro to Climbing

Last Sunday (7/20) I took a good friend's nephew climbing at Carderock, MD.

My climbing partner Joe and his son (Sam) and their dog "Zippo" met us there also.
We started him off on Beginners Crack (5.3)

That's him just past the crux.







Caleb has just about topped out!


















This last picture was posed for his aunt.
We thought she would get a kick out of it!












She did not...

I really liked what he did with his right leg.

Zippo looked like he was trying to remember if the kid's name was Timmy? And isn't there supposed to be a well around here?

Well we ended the day teaching Caleb, Robin (Joe's friend), and Sam to rappel from the top of Nubble Face (5.4)

I was busy teaching and forgot to take any pictures with my cell-phone camera. Just as well since I was belaying, and we did not want any unposed crater pictures!
