Ascensiones en Moab como Tick

Beautiful line! Canned beans are not my friend....

Probably the best route tony antoine and i lapped at wall street - the crag where you can belay out your car window. Makes kps approach seem like frenchmans cap. A nice face climbing break from the endless expanse of splitters outside moab

Rectory castleton link day! Last day climbing with antoine. 2 towers 1 day. Fine jade up the rectory and north face of castleton. Great day

One of the most identifiable pieces of rock (or mud?) in the world and a great experience being up on the diving board. Pretty good level of strenuousness for 2 pretty cooked individuals. Glad antoine suggested this one

no way it's a 5.9

Awesome route on the south face of the rectory. Great moves on finger cracks and good hands. The first pitch gets you pumped directly with an overhanging hand crack. P3 is the crux pitch, with a 2m finger crack. Must do.

Great shady route.

P1: we took the right start. Good hands, short overhang and pumpy layback corner to the first belay. P2: overhanging hands crack, easy afterwards. P3: offwidth section (5.10), fist crack sand offwidth for another 20m. Short chimney to the top.

Back again, this time for morning coffee and yoga with the team

What a treat! Did the easy bit and jugged up... Lead was hectic. We barely reached the first bolt with a piggy back and giant stickclip. 5th(?) bolt is out and replaced by a ballnut in the hole, pretty scary when you don't know whats up there. Congrats on the send Jarrah (a bold first aid climb!)

The drive up to Hurrah Pass in our rental vehicle was definitely the phycological crux ;o) and the physical crux was probably exiting the tower with the anchor point below the lip ;o) I made a 4-minute movie with drone footage:

Not really a climb, the short climbing sections are not the reason you're here, they're just a small part of the day. It's a great day-out from Moab, a wonderful desert experience with solitude and fantastic summit views. I have a 4.5 minute movie with drone footage here:

Fantastic views from the summit, great picnic spot. Class 4 friction for the first 50ft leaving the desert, then easy to the top. I have a 3-min movie with drone footage here:

Looks very intimidating from head-on, but when side-on looks easy. I placed a 0.5 cam before the step-up to the bulge, a 0.3 cam at the bulge, and threaded a sling near the summit. The bulge was actually an easy mantle move. Downclimbed the route.

I did the first ascent of this tower with Jon Butler (1992?)

I did the first ascent of this tower (1990s)

Sent this 3 times, great route

Very cool.

Climbed up the route, but aided through the bolted sequences. Glad we got there early and beat the crowds!
