A trip report - the boys desert weekend interpreted by Crimpergirl.
Too much office time and not enough climbing time makes for unhappy people. To head off this possibility, BrassNuts and Eeeyonkeee headed out to the Utah desert for some fun in the sun (and rain and wind it turns out).
How could this place not be healing?
The guys hit the road late Thursday heading toward Castle Valley in the Great White. The Great White is a one comfy assault vehicle!
The first goal of the trip was Fine Jade on the Rectory. Some nearby climbers snapped some of the photos. Very cool! It’s unusual to have more than butt shots when the belayer has the camera.
Nice photos taken by other climbers of Eeeyonkeee
Just so no one feels ripped off, here is the requisite butt shot - BrassNuts
Eeeyonkeee summit photo on Fine Jade with Castleton in the background.
While the guys were climbing Fine Jade, BrassNuts looked down and noticed some ravens investigating his pack. As he watched, the birds opened his pack, unzipped the lid zipper, removed everything (rope tarp [which flew away], first aid kit, food). Having secured some high dollar Pro-Bars, the birds flew away! Smart birds. Hungry BrassNuts.
BrassNuts summit shot.
Cool flying saucer rock on the top of Fine Jade.
Castleton is such a striking tower (insert lightning [edit: offensive incorrectly spelled word has been corrected] jokes here) – one can’t help but take several photos of it.
The wind starts to whip on Fine Jade.
Eeeyonkee practices a modeling pose.
Next up was Crack Wars which is located on the west side of the Rectory.
Eeeyonkee on Crack Wars
Only one pitch was completed as the winds whipped up to crazy speeds.
The next day brought rain and cold temps. The guys hung around in Castle Valley in the rig. They did some hiking and reading. Forced rest day – beats a day in the office.
The following morning the rain and cold theme continued though happily it stopped raining relatively early allowing them to get some climbing in. They headed into Long Canyon where they did some routes on Maverick Buttress and other walls. In total they managed to get 4, 5.11s and 2, 5.10s climbed. Sounds like an excellent day to me!
Here are some photos from that day:
Butt Pygmy was one route they did. Sounded like it had an interesting foot camming under-clinging crux and was quite fun.
BrassNuts heads up…
And there goes Eeeyonkeee
Enjoying the view -
After dinner in Moab, they headed back to Castle Valley for the night. The next morning, they climbed Sister Superior.
Here is Eeeyonkee practicing other modeling poses before heading up Sister Superior…
And BrassNuts…
Looking over at the Rectory and Castleton – gorgeous!
The top of Sister Superior afforded a terrific view.
After rapping, and hiking back to the Great White, they made burritos in the luxury of the Great White and headed back to civilization.

Wow. First time seeing those shots. Fine Jade is the bomb. Jah Man, on Sister Superior, is nearly as good. Dave was an excellent climbing partner and a wonderful host (in his most excellent camper). I get out on trips over 3 days maybe once every 3 or 4 years. This one was one of the best.

Fine Jade used to be on my radar, now just a blip of a distant goal. Those photos are awesome, inspiring.
And when my one grey hair multiplies, and the years roll away... I sure hope I can crush it in style like you dudes.

Brassnuts: You were not "under the weather!" Grug sometimes adds Nyquil to his partner's gatorade in order to get the more photo-friendly leads. Old trick that all the Poways know about and use routinely. In the future, do more research.

But alas, I see that my campaign to restore Castleton Tower to its earlier name is never gonna gain traction.

You probably have us confused with the Colorado Adams brothers. Yet I have seen PhantomX riding the high wire in polka dots on his unicycle. I know- not such a big deal. But the wire was stretched between K2 and Everest!
Grug--please note: the Adams brothers prefer to respectfully retain anonymity in the presence of attractive females (Crimpergirl).
Hey Animals--concerning the third shot in the Long Canyon series, I was wondering: Has anybody climbed the wicked crack above?

B. (not necessarily Bruce), she's more attractive in person (not that I've noticed). The climb that I'm leading in that pic is called Miss Kitty Likes it That Way, 5.11+. Although our guide didn't have it, Classic Desert Climbs shows that the crack to our right is Rawhide, 5.11+, It's listed at 120' (ours was 90'). By the way, Jack Roberts and another guy (sorry, I can't remember the other guy's name) did pretty much all of the FAs on this buttress.

Another wonderful trip down memory lane.
I miss that place.
You should have seen it before the Cam-daze.
Before pavement.

Still some of the best photo evidence of silverbacks rampaging in the desert.

You are the one who talked me into posting up here Crimpie. I don't know if I should thank you for that or not, ha. Welcome back!
Massively inspiring thread, even as a rerun.

I really don't get how one climbs so well and shoots so well, at the same time.

Damn, I missed my window of opportunity to climb better that BrassNuts. My second time out in several months I, um "sprung", I guess, a hernia last Saturday while climbing at Eldorado. I did this at least once before, in 2013, a couple of days after my Lucille attempt. Sheesh, it's been one thing after another. I've been reading about this...how it makes evolutionary sense and all that pretty much all systems start breaking down at the same time. Nice to know I'm not rocking the boat.

You did that in Eldo, Grug? What a waste! You. Could have been giving Lucille another shot!
Heal up by sushifest! We have that tour of the pregnant lady wall to do! I've got the rack now.
You'll appreciate the Cloud nine!

Cool to see this. My wife Lorna and I did the first ascent of Butt Pygmies in the spring of 1993. We named it "Butt pygmies on a landscape" after a John Wesley Powell quote about how he felt he was but a Pygmy in such a landscape. Also as a joke from the awesome Figures on a landscape climb in Josh. Name must have gotten shortened. Nice to see a picture of it again, I remember that we were pretty psyched to put it up. Not much had been climbed there back then. Glad to see it getting appreciated.

Hey so gonamok it wasn't a hernia at all. I don't know what it was, to tell you the truth. But I'm feeling good again. Getting ready for my 4th Black Canyon climb this season. Thanks for your kind words. We are so lucky to be climbers.
