The canyon is really surreal - there are tones of spires and lots of cliff - though most of it - just isn't climbable, or more so something that you would want to climb but - then - there is so much of it - that there is just an incredible amount of climbing none the less!
Its really trippy...
We arrived LATE Tuesday night - all the sites we saw were taken so we kept driving until we found one - after a quick tent set-up we hit it..the next morning - we drove down to hit the Bridge/Maple Canyon climbing area (we had the Dr. Topo guide - which is OK) -
Between the two of us - we did about 23 pitches....and with me doing 12 and her doing 11...all onsite - it took a little while to get used to the cobbles - and the 6700 ft, but really - I think I got it down....I cannot wait to get back and start to project stuff...
Being 3 days in a row - and having done so many pitches (I got a full - NICE bail draw too) - I crahsed HARD weds night...we slept in Thursday and drove to Moab - where I am now - the Moab public library. - The drive on the way was LONG - but fun - very desolate - but with lots of surreal landscapes.
We stopped at this one "exit" and checked out this sandstone boulder - SUPER cool and definitely climbable - but it was WAY too hot to do now....we took some shots though...
We're in Moab now - the plan is to climb tomorrow morning - and then Christina's wedding is tomorrow night - at Sunset =).
It's really nice here in Moab - but it has that "tourist" town feel to it....of course - because it is a tourist town - and its offseason - because its REALLY hot...
