Patty and I will make it out there Wed evening. Maybe we will be the only/first there?
Location is dead center of this map link along the "U" shaped section of dirt road that runs South of the mostly E-W running dirt road east of the creek bottom.

I ended up having a conflict after all, and I'm bummed to be missing it. I was really looking forward to seeing friends and making new ones and climbing some excellent crackage.
Moosedrool, enjoy the hammock for me!
My hands are a flexin' and my fingers are a lockin' and wings are a chickenin' in solidarity.

Not live yet.
Ferretlegger left this morning for IC. I'll head down tomorrow.
Jay reports he has to "work" and can't make it till Sunday.
Moab appears to be drying out so the Creek should be good.

Good time had by all.
Some have been left behind to climb another day. Some have retreated to more benign quarters.
About half the group seems to have been still out climbing.

Lots of fun! One day of rain but then good weather and great people...what's not to like? We will make this a seasonal, twice a year, event but not as formal as the first one.

De nada Moose....hard to believe you started climbing at 57. You would put a lot of climbers your age who started as teens to shame. Keep on truckin!

I'm sure Vitaliy will be tearing it up. Me? I'm still getting my head around the verticality of the place.
Thanks to Jim, Patty, Moose, and myself got to hang out in Jim's van and shoot the sh#t waiting for it to stop raining. To make sure we all got to stretch our leggs now and again during the drier part of the day, I got our van stuck twice just for fun. Thanks Andrzej for getting out both times and helping me get it parked in our first campsite! Next day, Ferretlegger helped by towing us across the creek so we could officially part of the group. Extra creek road maintence by Eeyonkee who spent a sizeable effort adding granite rocks to the deep ruts in the creek crossing making it much more manageable for us in 2 wheel drive vehicles.
Jim, thanks again for showing Patty and myself around. We had a great time as usual. I think next time, we will stay for 5 days and give ourselves a rest day in there somewhere.

I will not be tearing it up, Cris will. He focused on getting strong this summer, while I focused on doing a ton of hiking. I am weaker than I was in the Spring now. :( But here is my chance to get stronger and start to prepare for 2016! :) Glad I have a rope gun :)
I see you did Anunaki! That was a climb we got on the first day last time. So good! Too bad it is not longer...even though if it was longer I would likely have whipped! :)

No V, we did not get on Anunaki :( , we just happened to be there talking to those guys (and it was one of my better shots I thought). Patty and I did nothing harder than 5.10 . I had a great time but am so-so about my performance. Patty on the other hand really improved. For some reason I have Slice and Dice stuck in my head and really would like to build up for that and give it a try next time. I do better with goals in my head, so I'm already looking forward to next time. I already just generally love this area.
Good luck out there Vitaliy
Chris
edit; sh#t, I just looked the thing up and slice and dice is 5.12. Well, it's still on my list....

Looks like a great time. Wish I could have joined you but at least I did manage to get 7 days of climbing in over the last 11 days in other places. Red Rocks was gorgeous this week.
