Some of My Trip Reports

I’ve been climbing a lot of long, moderate routes lately (my favorite kind of climbing) and here are the trip reports I’ve written up. All of the routes are here in Utah.

  • A Solo Ascent of Geurt’s Ridge (5.5, 1,500′) on Mt. Olympus
  • Climbing (and Rappelling) Wilson’s Arch Near Moab, Utah
  • The 2nd (?) Ascent of Grumpies, Harkonnen Castle, Arches National Park
  • My Second Time Up Ancient Art (5.9 C0, 4 pitches)—Topo and Photos
  • Climbing Led By Sheep (5.7, 800’) on Aries Butte in Zion National Park

Two New Trip Reports and an Open Invitation for More

I’ve posted a couple climbing new trip reports to my personal blog in the last week:

  • Squawstruck Beta, Topo, and First Ascent History - About a route that took me 2.5 years to establish and is the longest sport climb in Utah (at 1,900’).
  • Climbing Idaho’s Longest Sport Climbs in the City of Rocks - A photo TR of what I think are the two longest sport climbs in Idaho (at 650’ and 500’ long, respectively).

I love reading TRs and would be more than happy to link to anyone’s trip reports. In fact, I’d love to make a weekly list of people’s new trip reports. So if you’ve posted a climbing trip report (it can be on Tumblr, on a different blog, or on a forum or something), let me know via the Contact page.
