So, back in April, Haley took a climbing trip down near Vegas with her pals. She wanted to do a rim 2 rim 2 rim run and I couldn’t think of a good reason not to. So that happened.
My experience was overall amazing. I had the best time with Haley and Eric. Eric really destroyed both of us which is amusing because he is more of a climber, I think. It was pretty tough. I don’t think I ate enough food early on. This most likely lead to some nausea and cramping, which manifested on the climb to the North Rim. My legs came back a bit until the climb up Bridal after the sun went down. I really struggled up that. Kudos to Haley for staying with me while I was on the struggle bus.
One thing I learned about the Grand Canyon is those steps/stairs are total bullshit. I understand why they are there but they just suck. I’d rather have a dirt slope or incline.
Time wise I was a bit behind where I would have wanted to be. That’s fine. I can try again next year. Anyone want to go? I’ll be down there in April for the Arizona Monster and could pop over for a quick r2r2r.
After the run we hit a great lil vegan mexican spot in a mall. It was called SoyMexican.
