Date: 5/19/2010

 

Trip Report:

Spent a week in Moab with friends who are mad mt. bikers and got taken to skool. Bud did escape for a day of mud climing in Fisher Towers. What a mud wall!

At bit gritty as it has thunderstormed the previous evening.

Atop the 3rd pitch and looking at the walkway it all seemed like a good idea at the kitchen table - this was a bit of exposure.

One short and one long rappel got us to the ground in short order. Round trip 2.5 hrs.

We climbed the one pitch Lizard on our way out.

Then it was back to biking. One day we took a shuttle up to the LaSalles and came down Copelli(?) Trail, UPS and LPS (which we renamed upper and lower piece of shite) and then Porcupine to the Colorado River and back to town.

You can get hurt on that biking stuff!! My goal was to not break a collarbone, fingers, or any teeth. At least climbing you have a rope on.

 

Very cool lizards. Resting at work, whew!

Gear Notes:

Desert rack. Needed one large cam to protect the top of the Lizard.

 

Approach Notes:

Easy 1 mile or so approach. They're filming a movie there soon and access will be limited for a couple weeks.
