A Glimpse into Climbing in the Zion Narrows

Watch this link for a short 2 minute video of what its like when I go new routing in the Zion Narrows.

We hike through the river, clean the sand and loose rock off the walls/cracks and of course go climbing with a great partner. In this case, Andy Raether, the sextermely motivated and strong sport climb developer.

The climbing took place during the first week of June this year. It is difficult to get good light in the Narrows due to the fact that a little or a lot of light entering the Narrows can make a huge difference. You can be blinded one moment and in teh dark the next.
