SOME COOL "FIRSTS" FOR LUCA - BOULDER, CO (AUGUST 2014)

(Caution... bit of a proud pappa moment here.)

Our 7-year old son, Luca, did his first Tyrolean traverse earlier this month on approach to a local crag in Boulder Canyon. We climbed with friends at The Watermark, which has a slew of concentrated beginner and moderate sport routes, perfect for a family day at the crag. The following week, he attended a week-long climbing camp through Avid4 Adventure in Boulder, which gave him some consistent exposure to climbing, while enjoying being outdoors with peers in a fun and constructive environment.



 
Luca also had his first day of fly fishing. We only had 40 minutes and didn't bring any fish to hand, but the experience of hiking to the river and wading in the water was still great nonetheless. He'll be getting his first fly rod this month and we'll be heading out together this fall.

 
 
It's been a great summer for Luca with a lot of changes. He also started public school this month for the first time as well, after private schooling his entire life up to this point. We think he's ready and has so many talents to bring to the table. He's a cool kid with a lot to offer.
