We are just about to get onto the plane back to Australia after 3 months travelling and climbing around the USA and thought people might enjoy some pics.

Bought a $1500 minivan in Vancouver and started climbing in Squamish. From there we we climbed/visited in the following order.

Squamish
Lake Louise
Jasper
Revelstoke
Canmore
Glacier Nat Park (Montana)
Beehive peak (Montana)
Yellowstone
Tensleep, WY
Devils Tower, WY
City of Rocks, ID
Maple Canyon, UT
Moab, UT
South Lake Tahoe, CA
Yosemite, CA
Red Rocks, NV

We also met Alex Honnolds mum climbing at South Lake Tahoe and ended up spending a few days at her house. She is a lovely lady and also a keen climber.

It has been the most amazing experiences of my life and still can't believe how many places we got to climb.

Anyone that has always dreamed of a North American climbing trip - get out there and do it. I do count ourselves super lucky that the US government shutdown didn't affect us.

We have only been climbing for 2.5 years before this trip. Climbing up to 24 sport and 15 trad and had never set foot on granite and next to no crack climbing. We are leaving being pretty comfortable tackling a 5.10C crack or a 5.11 slab as well as sending a couple of 5.12a sports routes. Our climbing skill and experience had grown immensely from this trip, especially on Trad.
