Moab and Indian Creek Partners

Hi there,

32 year-old Canadian climber visiting Moab and IC this November. I lead to about 10+ follow to 11+ but enjoy relaxed moderates too. Fun, easy going, safety oriented; have all my rock rescue and first aid. Would like to focus on crack routes but open to everything the desert has to offer.

I don't know how long the season lasts around Moab or IC so if anyone can let me know that would be appreciated. I would like to stay as long as possible.

Hi Brian,

I am going to be in Moab Oct. 30-Nov 1 and would love to climb as much as possible for those three days. I am an experienced climber (~7 yrs mostly at Index, Squamish, and Red Rocks). This will be my first trip to the Moab area.

I don't have a specific ticklist for the trip but was hoping to do some cragging around Moab one day and get some mileage on the cracks at IC at least one day. I have a few guidebooks for the area and it all looks good.

I'll have a 70m rope and double rack with me.

I comfortably lead into the .10's but usually dial it back a few grades with a new partner or in a new area. I like to play it on the safe side and keep it fun. My MP profile is up to date if you want a little more background info.

Feel free to send me a message if you want to get out together during your trip. :)

If you need partners just head to the creek, stay at one of the larger camping areas, and just walk up to people. The creek is a great place to meet new partners. It's a social scene out there and most climb in groups. You can usually find people to go on dessert and tower missions pretty easily. Check the message board at Beef Basin road too.

The prime season usually goes until later November. Towards the last week the days start getting short, and the nights get pretty cold but the sun climbing is still perfect. Although, what I call a "cold" night probably wouldn't phase a Canadian.

Sherri, sounds great but I may not have arrived by the time you leave. If I do, I will def. get in touch.

Wylie, thanks for the valuable advice; really appreciate it. Nice to know that if I don't find a partner beforehand I can still meet folks there.

Look forward to hearing from anyone visiting the Creek this Nov. Will see ya there.
