The parking lot scene.

Rosco full speed on the Tule Hardpan at Ibex.

Forever a "Bun-head".

Ibex main crag as seen from the main gravel road. December 24th 2010. Lots of snow that year. I drove out on Christmas eve to go try a boulder problem. The snow was too deep to drive close to the boulders. I hiked across the lake bed in knee deep snow to look at the problem, hiked back to my truck and drove back to slc. I still haven't tried that boulder problem.

Ibex wildlife

Ibex sign welded/cut by my friend Kris Pietryga and designed by artist Lisa Darling, installed at hardpan entrance Oct2012, disappeared in 2014 (the vandals needed serious tools to take it, and made a mess of it), A virtual memorial digital copy here now.

The "road" going through Blind Valley.

Crystal Peak in the snow.

Another Ibex bulge... imagine that!

The long road to Ibex and Utah's west desert.

Overhead view for best directions. For dry conditions, I recommend pulling off the highway at the first turnoff past Skull Rock Pass and joining the Tule Valley Road. Once you are directly across from the cliffs, a road takes you across the hardpan to the base of the cliffs. The hardpan is impassable when wet, so opt for the windy approach to the west.

Winding down....

Hardpan golf with James G.

In March 2012, my daughters and I added a new route on this upper tier near the corral. It didn't make it into the book because I forgot to tell James about it. "Princes Fairy Tea" (5.6 (I think)), FA: Zoe, Mollie, Cam, Ann Burns. 4 or 5 bolts with top anchor.
