Andy starting the 5.8 traverse on the first pitch of The Corner Route.

Here's Andy finishing up the traverse on the Corner Route on the Tombstones in Kane Springs Canyon.

This is looking down on the first real aid pitch of Deep Voodoo.

Deep Voodoo with the route highlighted. The other photo is without the ghetto yellow line

Caught Alex mid-move. Unfortunately, that's not at least 40 characters.

Alex makes the moves look easy on a bolted slab at the Ice Cream Parlor.

My first time climbing on sandstone, it was quite an experience!! Somehow a 5.7 in UT felt more difficult then a 5.8 in CO... I wonder why...! ;)

A fun aid climb worth the photo op! Just not meant to be done in July!

Suz leading an un-named 5.8 in Kane Creek. i shot this picture right before sunset, really windy and cold if I recall but Suz does a good job on the lead..

Myself leading the start of a really tasty finger crack. To bad the finger section ends so quickly. The best part of this wall is that it is walking distance from the campsite down by the river. This shot was taken right before we headed in for the night.

I think I first saw this rock here on RC.com, and I knew that I would have to climb it.

Great way to start a day of climbing near Moab. Start off with some stemming and move into some crack climbing. Generous plug for Moab Cliffs and Canyons guiding. They did a great job allowing my wife and I to enjoy a day of climbing.

This slab climb requires some good foot technique and trust in that placement. Little to hold on to with your hands!

Travis and Geoff getting ready to rap off the top of Predator Tower.

My favorite climb of the trip, this one was a great wrap-up...an easy, photogenic, inclined finger crack with a great view from the top.

I don't remember this woman's name, but we shared ropes and routes that day. Here she's leading an easy, inclined finger crack that was too much fun for words. The rocks in the Ice Cream Parlor were just incredible. The desert varnish glowed blue in the sun (and turned the rope and belayer's hands black), shining beautifully against the red rock.

This 5.6 route was great for warming up. That's Kurt on lead. What a great day that was...the sun was shining, we were climbing, and back home in Minnesota people were freezing their butts off!

This inclined finger crack was a lot of fun to climb, but all good things must come to an end, and here Henry is making his way up to the top to rappel down.

My first 5.9 trad lead. Bounce Test in Kane Creek, Moab.

Me at an unknow crack outside Moab, at the Ice Cream Parlor. I am really not sure if this is the 5.9 or not....been along time since I climbed it.

This was a sweet 5.8+ crack. Perfect hand jams and nubbins along side of the crack.

Yet another shot of me working the unnamed 5.8+ crack at the ice cream parlor.

This Is the road you have to take to get to the best bouldering in moab. Where it is, is a secret and mabye for like $100 bucks I might tell you

This route was awesome. Smooth sailing until you reach the crux above bolt # 3. Move quickly and its yours.

Thank god for gri-gris. My friend is a new aid climber, so I settled in to my law chair with an ice cold Bridgeport IPA for a *long* belay.
