We set out to the great land of El Rito, New Mexico in hopes of experiencing some good old fashioned New Mexico crag. But, El Rito is unlike any rock we have ever had the privilege of climbing. The rock is an unusual combination of granite and cobblestone, if that makes any since at all or is even physically possible. Nonetheless, it is by far our most treasured site to crush some serious rock feature. At least that we have visited thus far in our short, but fulfilled lives. Unfortunately for our thrill seeking hearts we were able to get one glorious climb in and then the torrential downpour began. In the pouring rain we gathered our gear and hiked down, only to find an illustrious cave that was calling to us. And even more, who knew we would meet a cute couple from Cimarron, also escaping torrent and enjoying a good beer. Call it what you will, but I say it was fate. The mudslide ride back down the mountain was more fun than any water park could offer, take that Schlitterbahn. At the end of the day the worst we could say was that we were able to watch it rain like cats and dogs in one of the most breathtaking mountains on Earth. Poor, poor pitiful us. We will catch you on the flipside El Rito, only next time we will conquer.
Bottoms up.
