La Grande, OR


For those who know about this picture, it will bring a good laugh just by looking at it. For those who don't, I guess I will share the truth with you because, while not nearly as manly as the lies I could write in here, it is certainly much more funny.

Some of my brothers plus a couple friends and I decided we would go rock climbing just outside La Grande, Oregon. I will be the first to say that I am not any sort of expert at rock climbing and due to in increase in my doughnut consumption and lack of physical activity, it was not that easy for me. This particular climb is not rated as being a very difficult climb and except for this particular part of the climb, I could easily agree with that rating. It was my third and last climb of the day. After several unsuccessful attempts at climbing this part using my own skill and strenght, I resorted to using the help of the other climbers. No, not by getting advise but by getting physical help. Clay(who is pictured in the right of the picture) let me borrow his back as a spring board and my brothers gave everything they had on the other end of the rope to pull up my 220 pound jelly filled powdered sugar coated body.

A great time was had by all and really I could have done it but I thought I would make the whole thing more memorable by allowing this to happen:) Unfortunately we were not able to get any pictures of it becuase everyone had their hands full helping me get started.
