It was pretty much two years to the day that I was last in America on a rock road trip. We had unfinished business and opened up new accounts and new areas. Unfortunately the other Guy didn't make it out but Donald and I had a brilliant trip climbing as a pair. Viva Las Vegas. What a place. The start and the finish of our trip and home to the astounding Red Rock. This place made me want to move to America! It was an interesting time talking to locals about the upcoming election, never once chatted to a Trump supporter, not through choice! The silent majority it turns out.
We don't usually take rest days but this trip we did...are we getting old...are we getting weak...we didn't think so but we felt great after our rest days.
After Red Rocks we went to Moab, we went there last time and had a brilliant time, so we climbed several desert towers and lots of brilliant routes. From here we took a chance in style and headed for splitter heaven, Indian Creek. Crack, jam, cam, crack, jam cam...repeat. Sometime's we fell, moaned about the grade's, slumped. We watched local's cruise routes far too hard for us but we tried them anyway...and fell. We camped under a supermoon which was amazing.
After Indian Creek we went back to Red Rock's. What to say. Every single route we did was brilliant. I think I will take a trip back and just stay put there.
