Moe's Valley Part II

Since our last post there have been some significant Moe's valley sends! Raleesha has quickly accomplished awesome sends such as: The Perfect Storm V2 and Word V2. While B-ridge has sent the amazing One-Eyed Willy V3, Perfect Storm V2, The Hardest One V1, and the Moe's Valley Classic: Moe's Nose V1! Tommy and Casey have been wearing themselves out on some of Moe's hardest. In just a just about 30 minutes Tommy scrambled up Loose Cannon (Stand Start) V8/9 , Casey followed after a few more tries. After hours of frustration Casey finally sent Lindner's roof V9/10, barely. Then after trying two completely different methods and sustaining a very bloody knee, Casey sent Bazooka Tooth V9/10. What's up with all the slash grades!

Hangin out at Moe's.

Tommy sending Linders Roof.

Bridget on Moe's Nose.


The Hardest V1 in the World.


Christy sending Contusion Inducer V1.

LCC!!

Even though the canyon (and boulders) were covered in snow we decided that it could still be a good chance to start some new LCC projects: Copperhead V10, All Thumbs V10, and Two Giant Steps V9.

Moe's Valley

With freezing cold Winter weather throughout the state, Moe's Valley is the place to be!! A large variety of sweet problems and awesome weather make for a climbers haven in the Winter Wonderland of Utah. It's a great area for climbers of all levels. Recently us Cedar folk went down to them there boulders and did us sum climbin! A darn great time was had by all.

Ouch! Yes that was an elbow smacking into the rock. Casey has been projecting this problem for the past few sessions, but it has led to nothing but pain and LOTS of frustration!! He has been getting really close, falling on the last exit move. Definitely doable though! Linders Roof is V9/10. It's an area classic. Congrats to Tommy for the big send!

Tommy on Gription V9/10. Big moves and intense slopers on perfect rock! This is the newest project of the Cedar Kids.

Casey putting the heel hook to the test on Gription.



Casey on Bazooka Tooth V9/10. It's his favorite problem. A sit-start down in the hole on an undercling and a gaston leads to slopey crimps then to a knee bar. The exit comes by throwing horizontally to a jug. Absolutely classic!! the end. oh...it's definitely goin down next time.

Just make sure you pull your pants up before you give it a go! ;-)


After a few sessions of hard work, blood and bruises, Sheralee and Bridget finally sent this V1 on the back side of Duality.
