OK, Moab is known as a great place to go, but I am a virgin to the area. I've been climbing for about 10 years (8 years of trad), My rack includes:
Black Diamond nuts (03-13) x 2 Hexes (3', 2', 1.5') Tri-cams (first 8 sizes) alien cams (6 sizes, all smaller than 2 inches)
I've hit: New River Gorge Seneca Rocks Gunks Joshua Tree Yosemite Valley Smith Rocks Eldorado Cannion
So I know I can climb, BUT... I am under the impression that climbing in Moab area, requires a full rack of Cams because the rest is unsafe (the rock is weak). I want to know is there a place that I can go in the area that the rock is solid enough to use what I've got?
it's not that the rock is weak, it's just that so much of it is parallel 3" cracks that go on forever. with that rack there are a few routes you could do in wall street, ancient art in the fishers, owl rock in arches, and maybe a few other widely scattered routes.
mortgage your house to buy cams and you'll have a lot more options. or you can surf topropes/pool gear at indian creek.
