^cool gif and great location dood^
"reaching for an oversized chrome spoon he gathers an
intimate quantity of dried muffin remnants and brushing his scapular aside
procceds to dump these inside of his shirt...
...arrogantly twisting the sterile canvas snoot of a fully charged icing
anointment utensil he poots forths a quarter-ounce green rosette upon the summit of a dense but radiant muffin of his own design."
I popped off a little third class midway thru a backpacking trip waaaay out in the Escalante recently. We had assumed that an easy sheep trail would appear at the head of an upper reach of one of the Moodies. Not so. Just as it got dark, I fired the short 5.7ish fist crack off the ledge. Hadda raise the dog thru vertical space on a rope. Hauled bags and brought up my buddy. Much tequila on that ledge that night. So much so, in fact, that I nearly shat my pants aiding a tower the next day. Truth be told, I despoiled the fukk out of that summit. I know, I'm going to hell, gunna die, etc.

Did a run up the North Chimney on Castleton with Marie Brophy. Lots of parties but we had the perfect window. Fun day. I did watch my bag roll at least 300 ft down the talus when I dropped it on a not so secure ledge. Lucky it didn't go over the big cliff.

Obscure little rock just up-canyon from the one discovered by Rick Sumner. Saw chukar out here the day before season opened, but no fresh sign this weekend. Someone set traps for coyote or bobcat, but they didn't catch any.
Made three pitches out of what should probably only be two, if that. First was an easy ramp, except for decomposing rock that left practically no placements available. Left three surplus pins, not sure the second two would hold a backpack, but they made me feel better. 2nd/3rd pitches had some good pro, but I doubt the whole thing would rate a 5.6. Most people would be consumed by the big rock down-canyon.
Also found an approach road to the towers closer to the freeway...
next time...

QuotJon, Nathan and I went out to BVC today to climb this beauty. I lead it and then we fixed a line so I could take a few shots from above. Some turned out pretty nice. The climb was stellar, so we all ran some laps. .75 and #1 camalot sizes are the bane of my existence (#3 camalot = perfect hands for me) e Here
Hey, what route is this? I live in Vegas now and am always looking for new things.
3 days ago I climbed the highly stellar "Adventure Punks" in Pine Creek. Or, at least the first 4 pitches anyway (10a, 10a/b, 10a, 10b). Fifth pitch is 10d WIDE and we skipped it due to not having any #5+ cams. Also, we got started late and were kind of slow, so we would have been out of daylight anyway.
No pics, which is a shame because it is amazing. One of the best multipitch in Vegas, and one of the best I have ever done anywhere.
