4/20 Weekend at Hell's

We went to Hell's Canyon and met up with Yoder and crew. Dave puts on the 4/20 event and there was a good turn out. Climbed up at Sleeping Monster wall. It has steep slabs that made my brain hum! Great weekend to be out. Also great for the ticks, snakes and poison ivy!

 The ticks are almost as big as a power pole.

Can you see the Sleeping Monster?
