standing rock

Mike joining me high on the tower. The shadow of the tower makes you worry about it's stability.

Me heading out on pitch 2.

Mike heading up pitch one. The rock was really good the whole way up and I was surprised to find that there wasn't any choss. It was pretty bomber and clean the whole way up. I would say that the climb is as good as anything in Castle Valley with a long bumpy drive.

The view from the floor of the basin.

A little bit of the scrambling down the hillside to get to the climb!

Get out and climb.

Standing Rock

Heading down the rope to enter into the Monument Basin. Mike and Chris are passing packs down to me.

Mike on the rim heading to Standing Rock.

Monument Basin in all of it's glory and choss! The right tower is Shark Fin and the left is Standing Rock.

I stop here everytime that I head out on the white rim!

Chris getting ready to film!
Get out and have fun!
