Newbie to Indian Creek
|
I've never been to the desert. (Well, I visited Arches many times as a kid). |
|
Bring extra beer, ropes, and a sign. |
|
take her up the south six shooter. minimal rack, easy climbing, and a rad summit. |
|
I agree with Ball. Bring beer, be nice, don't be afraid to ask for advise if new to desert crack climbing. It is very difficult to set up top ropes without leading the route (you will see why once there) Bring flat shoes (not sport/gym shoes) in which you can spread your toes. Enjoy! |
|
I'll second South Six Shooter, its a great climb with very cool exposure. Its a significant approach and a true trad multi-pitch though so it may or may not be what you're looking for. |
|
Having soloed south six shooter, I'd say be sure leading 5.8 if you're tall and gangly. That one move is kinda awkward. |
|
Camp in the Creek, climb around Moab. Lots of easier climbing there. |
|
Stay out of Utah Lebowski! |

Are you a nihilist, Sam Keller? :) |

If you come back bring Mtn bikes for rest days. |
