Escape

Writing trip reports is not fun. But for Jaeger's sake, I'll do my best. Or rather, I'll do my best to write up the most ineffective, brief, and uninformative trip report I can manage. Here goes:

This past weekend yielded a quick trip to Joe's Valley, Utah. After a summer in the Park climbing mostly longer endurance problems, it was nice to get on short, powerful climbs, such as Skeleton Key.
 
There was a good crew assembled, and many ridiculous discussions were had. Is it better to crimp with three fingers or four?

Flannery says four, Jamie says three, but I'll just let James be the judge of that.

Also present was Hayden Miller, who was quite psyched to get an early start Sunday morning. After a quick warm up of Breakfast Skittles and tea, Hayden sent some slab, then nearly did The Ghost King in twenty minutes. Impressive.






The drive home was uneventful, save for a pleasant and brief interaction with a polite young Emery County Sheriff's Deputy outside of Castle Dale. Suck.

  1. i was doing some research and discovered that the main problem of this trip and post was the lack of me and my dogs. fortunately, god said that if someone will take me and my dogs to joe's valley for a weekend before november, god will not burn the earth then drown any survivors.

    seriously. the end of days can be avoided with a simply awesome trip with me and the dogs, safely contained in a dog crate (not me, just dogs, but i'm open to negotiation).
