Climbing trip with mom!!!

Mom attends a rock climbing event every September with the Americal Alpine Club, in Pinecrest. So.....back we went to Pinecrest Lake...stayed at cousin's cabin....and I made myself comfortable right away on the outdoor furniture! Why not!

Mom with some climbing buddies...and me too.....

Pinecrest Lake....beautiful as always. Mom and her climbing partner did a run around the lake Sunday morning....I had a big walkie and lake trolling with mom EARLIER in the morning..... so fortunately (for mom) I was happy to hang out in my soft crate in the car while they did the lake run.

Saturday eve (post climbing) gathering at Royal Robbins cabin....

Got me mom? I'm gettin' heavy!

Some kong time at the cabin......seemed that I was too dirty to run around INSIDE! What gives mom! I let her know that I much preferred being INSIDE at all times by my distinct BARKING...... "I'll help bake those cookies and muffins mom! No problem!!!"

But alas...still outside...with the climbing gear...and my kong....which seemed to be refilled quite frequently with some tasty stuff....thankfully!

Pinecrest Lake.....

I hung out with mom and her giant pack, while collecting waivers from climbers at this event. Here I am at the Ginalli Rock area.....I was attached to mom's heavy pack, so couldn't wander too far.
It was a great view....and a big cliff....so, my nervous nelly mom kept me on a tight rope!!

I made some fast friends at that crag...they helped mom hang on to me while mom did a few climbs......

Gotta have WATER!

Checking out climbers at the main crag.....I had prime viewing!

And, some nice little gals to keep an eye on me!

Folks hanging out.......I'm in the foreground, watching another crag doggie work on some stickies..... How can I get in on this!?!?!

My little rock island! There were about 8 doggies at this event...most were friendly...a few were not, but mom kept me out of trouble.....I am happy to play with any happy doggies....

A nice weekend....but I am MORE than glad to be home with all my toys, counter surfing...chewies....and just to be home with mom and dad.
