The next day; on the way to Timpanogos Caves
　　 Jun: Look at those guys rock climbing! They're so fast! Look, lots of people are watching!
　　 Bob: Good eye! Let's pull over and watch, too. [they pull over]
　　 Jun: I took a climbing class once and learned how to belay and tie knots, but I've never seen anything like this.
　　 Bob: Well, you should have told us earlier. We've got lots of gear at home. Carabiners, rock shoes, harnesses, everything you need.
