Is "somewhere in Utah" the only hint we get? (not that I would have any idea what the climb is, anyway) |
|
Whats so beautiful about this arete again? Its not very prominent and the rock itself looks pretty average and ledgey and broken... Looks pretty typical to me, as to location no idea but probably around Zion? |

Don't have Bird's book available to me right now, but confluence crag. Should be easy to figure out. |

Yeah, that's the Watchman in the background and Springdale on right. The photo was taken from Confluence Crag on Bridge. |

That's the tribute 3 pitch 5.10- at the confluence good buddy. Starts off of salty dog or gunswinger. It's to the right of the 2 pitch 10+ the battered wright. It's really fun . |

The tree on the top makes me think of an oasis in a dessert so I'd call it chasing the oasis |
