Pete_H Posted November 1, 2010 Posted November 1, 2010 Trip: Zion NP and Red Rocks - Tricks of the Trade, etc. Date: 10/25/2010 Trip Report: Sky Sjue and I had a great time on a recent trip the desert. On our short but effective sorte we snagged ascents of Heart of Darkness and the bulk of Fiddler on the Roof. In Zion we managed to thrutch up Tricks of the Trade. Sky has penned quality TR's with some decent pic's, so I'll just link to his website.

Sol Posted November 1, 2010 Posted November 1, 2010 those are the best shots ive seen of tricks, looks so good. nice job guys! Quote
stevetimetravlr Posted November 1, 2010 Posted November 1, 2010 how did you guys get down from the top of Mescalito Tower? That is no small accomplishment in itself. Quote
Pete_H Posted November 1, 2010 Author Posted November 1, 2010 The descent isn't that bad but does involve some desert gully-schwacking. It got dark about half way down and my headlamp battery ran out. But that shit happens when you're stupid enough to start a 11-pitch route at 1 in the afternoon. Quote
OlympicMtnBoy Posted November 1, 2010 Posted November 1, 2010 Cool I wondered about he rest of that route (and the descent) from the top of Dark Shadows (which was fun all on it's own). Quote
Climb X Posted November 5, 2010 Posted November 5, 2010 Great pics, great route descriptions, nice work. Thanks for the desert stoke Quote
