Everyday I get up it seems a little closer to the one where I will have to go away on Holiday, last night we booked our train tickets to T5 and hire Car to collect at Denver, we opted for the cheapest mini car we could find, and full collision damage waiver. Although I have been reliably informed that it doesn’t cover off roading!
My aim today is to get a few topos together of the routes we really want to do so we don’t have to drag the hefty guidebook all over the place. So far it looks like we are going to start in Eldorado’s Canyon, we’d love to attempt Naked Edge, however I fear that jet lag will get the better of us, so might get on the easier route to its left T2 or Rosie Crucifiction.
We then high tail back down to the Black Canyon of Gunnison for a Scenic Cruise, before heading to the Moab area to climb the follow tower routes – Ancient Art, Castleton Towers, Primrose Dihedral on Moses and maybe standing rock as well. The plan then is to climb a route or two near Super Crack of the Desert.
We then want to have a bit of an adventure on the moonlight buttress in Zion, maybe climb it slowly over a couple of days. Before heading to Vegas to gamble away Llion’s children’s college funds, and pick up an STD or two. As well as get and extra hit on Epinephrine.
Where we go from there is dependant on time, if the Toaga Pass is open then we might venture to Toulome Meadows and Fairview Dome, or may be drive round to climb Snake dyke or something bigger in Yosemite before heading to the venture valley to bask in our glory and sup some of the regions wine.
