I’m heading to Tucson today to visit Mom and Dad for Christmas with my girlfriend for a Meet the Parents holiday.  After several days of eating, drinking and being lazy, I’m going to the mountains one way or another.  I’ve been trying to find a guide to lead some multi-pitch up around Mount Lemmon, however it is looking like that is going to be tough since, after all it is Christmas, so all the guides I’ve talked to are unavailable.

If I can’t get someone to lead multi-pitch, I think I am going to hit up a hike/climb of Mount Wrightston (9,456 feet) south of the city.  There has been a bit of an early winter there, so I’m bringing crampons and an ice ax in case it gets a little icy at the top. 

Either way, there will be some great outdoors goodness to be had!  I will keep you posted!
