New stinky summit in San Rafael Swell

20071025_Buckhorn_Wash This weekend saw another wonderful trip down to the San Rafael Swell, smack dab in the middle of what else, the southern Utah desert. This summit came at the close of the weekend, on the way back to Salt Lake City, and is located next to a nice panel of pictographs and etchings in the middle of Buckhorn Wash. If you zoom in really closely, you can see some on the wall behind the cars.

Peace, love, and summits galore,

p1000712 Wow, for once I actually got photos from a trip online within a few days of returning! I still have photos from this summer I have yet to get online, but for some reason for this trip I arrived home with the gumption to get things done. I didn’t take many pictures, but the climbing was spectacular as per usual!

Long live the Utah desert.

20070815_Heceta_Head_Lighthouse I just uploaded a few new stinky summits from my trip to the Northwest with Ethan a couple of weeks ago. Proud summits all of them! I hopefully will have the rest of the photos from the trip up tomorrow or at least sometime soon.

hasta luego,

Trip report: Grand Teton, July 2007

July 28th, 2007 lackhead Posted in Climbaholic 1 Comment »

P1000024 This past week was Pioneer Day, the biggest holiday in Utah, including more fireworks than July 4th!! (of course, in Utah you always have the fireworks on the 3rd of July, don’t get me started) In any case, I decided to take this free day off of work to zip up to the Tetons and scramble up the Grand Teton. It was a perfect day- good weather, tons of alone time, and super-sore legs afterward! (that’s what you get for doing a super-long hike, and then immediately getting in the car for a 5-hour drive) Anyway, just click on the picture to see what me and my new camera got up to on this trip!

Ahhh, Moonlight Buttress. I have made three attempts to climb thee, and three attempts is all I’m left with. This photo album is some shots of me during a solo attempt (the ill-fated attempt where I was thwarted by overcrowding, and then fell in the river and destroyed my camera), and some shots of me and Mr. X during a May trip.

Soon I shall return and finish the beast. I don’t know about soloing though- every one of my aid solo trips has ended 2-3 pitches up, as that’s about when I tend to run out of motivation and energy (I know, next time I’ll pack more of both). So, another day will dawn, and it will find me scampering up Moonlight yet again. In the meantime, enjoy the pictures.
