Moe's, Joe's, The Wash, Ibex,LCC, Utah!!!

It's been an eventful past few weeks! The clan just got through with an awesome spring break trip through Utah. It started with a one trip to the wonderful, amazing, crazy, desolate land of Ibex. At the moment I(Casey) would have to say that Ibex ranks as my number one climbing spot. However it is a shame that the weather is turning, because i don't believe that the weather is compatible with the greasy quartzite that make up the boulders. Ibex was a successful trip Sheralee and Bridget both sent a couple of V2's which was nice. Tommy sent the ultra-classic Ju(V7) on his first try! It took me two. Then after a bit of work I was able to scramble up Big-Gulp(V8). It is an incredible line that climbs up about 16 feet of rock in like 3 moves! We will be back this fall to try Bruce Lee (V10) and the Bomb (V9).

Next we headed out to Joe's. I admit that none of us have very good endurance because we were already wasted when we got there. However we still managed to get a few good sends. Sheralee climbed Bad Jeans (V3) she just walked right up the slightly overhanging crimpy face (We won't get into how she did the top out)! Brigdet and her also sent Warm Me Up Scotty (V1) it's a must do for climbers of every level! Tommy easily threw down a coulpe repeats of Stand Up (V8) so I decided to try it a bit also. But I just couldn't get my dumb foot to stick. I tried another foot beta and it still kept on popping, I must be retarded or something so I just dedided to try and campus it. It worked!

After that we went to LCC and got shut down big time. Maybe we we worn out, but I think we just stink at the lack of foot holds, well I guess I'll speak for myself: I stink at LCC. But watch out Superfly and Copperhead I think they'll go down next time.

Lately we've been climbing at the Wash just west of Cedar City. At first I disliked the chossy, sharp rock, but lately it has started to grow on me. Amongst these chossy, painful boulders there are quite a few awesome problems of all grades. Tommy has been tearing it apart! He sent three V8's there in the last week! But even more exciting was when he sent Bazooka Tooth(V10) today!Good Job Tommy!
