Pics from the desert

November 25, 2009 - 8:26 PM

Here are just a few pics from my trip to the desert. We went to the Fisher Towers, and Castle valley. Both are in Utah. I'll try to explain each pic. 

Gassin up somewhere on the way from Estes Park to Moab.

Some of the views along the way!

This was our climb. The Fisher Towers encompass a great deal of the area we were in, but our route was this jagged pinnacle on the right. The route is called Ancient Art, and from bottom to top it is 325 feet. This was by far the most scary thing I've ever done.

This was the climb of the next day, called Castleton. We were going there to do the North Chimney route, but got shut down because the rock was in the shade and was waaaaaaaay cold. The approach to it was amazing. 

Since we got shut down on Castleton, we decided to go into Arches Natl. Park and climb a small pinnacle called Owl Rock. This place is amazing!

This was Amos belaying Brent on Owl Rock. Very fun route. Amazing lead climbing, Brent!

This is me on the same route.

 

So we went back to Colorado. We're still here as of 11-25 and still climbing almost every day. We'll be doing some more great stuff, but as for me-I'm pretty tired. I'll post some more pics and stories as the week goes on.

 HAPPY THANKSGIVING!
