BLK1021

desert, landscape, rivers
Natalie and I made a day trip out to the Idyllwild area to climb at Black Mountain. Black is one of my favorite places to climb, and Natalie had never been, so I was looking forward to sharing it with her. It was a beautiful day and the area wasn’t that busy. We mostly worked on Tour and Cracker Boy (redacted haha). It was a nice day – glad to get outside before I leave for Japan. After the Utah trip and the road to Black, I need to wash the truck.

ZION1005 II

desert, landscape, rivers
For our anniversary trip, Natalie and I took a week off of work and drove east to southern utah. The plan was to climb at red rocks, moe’s valley in st. george, and also visit zion. we camped the first night at red rocks, but got a late start so drove straight to moe’s. we climbed until sunset and then headed to our abnb in la verkin, which we later had to evacuate because of a strange gnat problem. we spent the next two days at zion hiking angels landing (natalie was too scared to make it to the top so we stopped after the first chain section), riding e-bikes around the canyon, and we rode horses along the river trail to the court of the patriarchs. the next day we spent at moe’s and then drove to vegas to climb the last day, although it was a little too hot. natalie got device ignitor and made some really good progress on huntsman. I got the goose, and a handful of other stuff, and made some progress on whiskey rail.
