Location: UT : Moab Area : Island In The Sky : Moses : Pale Fire (5.12b) By: Zach Allen When: Oct 27, 2009 | view comment >> | Comments: Bailed off of the third (5th guidebook pitch) on an aid ascent due to bad (or missing?) bolts. I was way too scared to free climb above those junk bolts. I was pretty surprised that they held my weight. If you plan on aiding this route you may want to throw in a stick clip. Other than that the route is spectacular, but would really benefit from a rebolting.

Location: UT : Moab Area : Island In The Sky : Moses : Primrose Dihedrals (5.11+) By: Monty When: Oct 26, 2009 | view comment >> | Comments: - ***Single Rope Descent****
From the summit you can make a short rap back down to the shoulder, then rap the North Face (Pale Fire) in 4 raps easily with a 70m rope. Keep in mind if you are only carrying 1 rope you have no option of bailing off the route with out leaving something behind... I think...

Location: UT : Moab Area : Island In The Sky : Moses : Primrose Dihedrals (5.11+) By: morkel When: Oct 21, 2009 | view comment >> | Comments: The first pitch is great, and a great challenge too. There was a fixed wire as of 10-16-09 (somewhat helpful), but with a perfect # 3 Cam. placement just below it. A # 5 Cam. does indeed fit nicely in the “A”. Be ready with something like a .75 Cam. after this crux. As a warm up, I felt this pitch was less of a boulder problem than the Ear pitch.
The last two bolts of the Ear seem a bit loose, but nowhere near removable by hand.
We rappelled the route, great if no one else is... more >>

Location: UT : Moab Area : Island In The Sky : Washer Woman : In Search Of Suds (5.10+) By: Sam Lightner, Jr. When: Oct 20, 2009 | view comment >> | Comments: The description above is incorrectly worded for the rappels. You DO NOT rap through the arch. You rap DOWN the arch or INTO the arch. If you go through it, as in from the west side pass through the notch to the east side, you are off the rappel route. There is an anchor at the base of the arch, but its best to continue, on double ropes, down about 60 more feet to a chain anchor on the left. From here double sixties reach a ledge just barely above the base .

Location: UT : Moab Area : Island In The Sky By: Allen Hill When: Sep 25, 2009 | view comment >> | Comments: I drove a 1978 Dodge Aspen wagon on the Shaffer Trail many times. In the early eighties. We got the wagon into Taylor Canyon at least twice. It's all in the technique.
