Even when soloing at Zion you can sometimes have company!

A hard body, stern visage, and commando style are keys to success on Zion's lesser-known backcountry walls.

There's more to Zion than climbing. The first drop of many in a typically beautiful Zion canyon.

Rappelling out of Mystery Canyon into the Virgin River Narrows. Zion offers world-class canyoneering to supplement its world class big wall climbing.

This was taken 24 hours after flash flooding that occurred on July 28th, 2006. Just a warning about how violent the weather can be in Zion. Especially take note if you are going up the big walls.

spicy traversing

not exactly the best rock

why you should double-check before you weight knobs

This photo was taken on July 28th, 2006. It shows the river level of the North Creek after just 1/2 an hour of rain that fell north of the main canyon. Six more inches and the banks would have overflowed and flooded the fields to the left. Coal Pits was a total swamp. Now I know why they call it a wash and will choose my campsites a bit more carefully.<br>

It would be a bummer to be halfway up some wall and have a river of this force coming down on you.
