Update

Currently in the middle of updating the site template and software. Hope to have it finished sometime this week. Made a run on a big route in the beartooths on Saturday, but came up short this time around. Will post a photo later this week. Hope all is well.

The Main Vein will tell you where to go.....

 

 

New Stuff in the South Fork

Aaron took photos, Anya belayed, I climbed. Possibly a first ascent up on Carter Mountain. 

Feeling the November Pain 

clouds roll in, we roll out. 

Aaron declares the ice season has begun. 

where's the boat? 

Working it. 

Moab to Lake Powel

Last week Anya and I floated the Colorado River from Moab to Lake Powell. 112 miles Through Canyonlands National Park, past the confluence with the Green River, and over the 28 rapids of Cataract Canyon. These are mostly "trip ambience" photos, I'll post some whitewater action shots at a later date.

Day one flat water. 

Chocolate milk or the Colorado River? Scouting rapids. 

Camp at Rapid Number Five. 

Camp Life. 

Hunkered down for record rainfalls. 

The benifit of rain, water falls cascading down canyon walls. 

Went for a quick run up to Black Canyon lake on Saturday. 

Camp with our climbing objective looming above us. 

Anya coming up the first pitch above the first ledge. 

Anya on the 2nd ledge. 

Joel leading through the 2nd roof of the crux pitch above the 3rd ledge. 

Walls falling away to the ground. The last belay before the summit rim.

A return to the lakes and soon to camp.

I've worked the past 5 weekends. I don't need to say anymore than that. Instead get your fix from the sweet photo Seftick sent.

Heat Wave

Like my Julys of years past, the heat has beaten down, leaving us to abandon goals till autumn, or at least August. For those of you that were here before the fourth, you had it nice. We hit triple digits every day. Not like we're up to nothing out here. Got in some whitewater, took in a show, and got my paws on a little rock.
