So what is Moab you ask?

Well. There are two main types of rock climbing - those were you clip pre-placed drilled bolt anchors - and those that follow crack systems where you bring your "gear" with you as you go - placing caming devices into cracks.

Moab is pretty much THE mecca for the latter type of climbing - Traditional climbing - or in short, Trad climbing where you bring your own gear with you as you climb cracks.

The rock here is Sandstone, though QUITE soft desert sandstone - at least compared to the likes of the New River and Red River Gorge. The cracks are just perfect however. Almost always perfectly parallel and just plain spectacular!

I'm here for a week, then I'm off to the HP40 competition in Alabama.
