This place was the first stop of many on the Russ and Sooze vacation tour '09. Perhaps more TR's will follow.....
Anyway, standard caveats in force, Quicktime 7 at a minimum, plant your mouse over the "I " button in the upper right corner for captions to the pics, mouseover the bottom center of the images to navigate, let it have time to load, blah blah blah.....
Browser version and full QT version. Pick your poisson (get it.... poisson..... oh man I'm a riot! )

I don't really do epics (knock on wood) anymore, unless you consider, as I do, a run to the State Liquor store in Utah an epic.

Was going for Apocalyptica and "Enter Sandman" (get it?) but the tune was too short. Al Dimeola is plucking the gut for this one.

FishFinder: no retouches at all. We came back with like 750 pics. Normally I do all sorts of stuff to each pic. This entire show is just as is. I didn't even resize them and let the program figure it out...... drag and drop baby... no crop, no sharpen, no neck wrinkle removal...... no time ....there's beer to drink.
E: we based out of the Creamy Pad for most of the trip. There will be plenty of pics of the certified leader in parts 2, 3, 4, 5, 6...... Sooze is a slavedriver.....had to climb like every day for almost 2 weeks! Hell on Earth!!!111666

That was nice. Can't wait for the next installment...
I got that same Al song on a live album he did with John McLaughlin and Paco DeLucia called Friday Night in San Francisco.

Kolob was absolutely fantastic. Super neato routes back there. Makes me feel like getting in on some of those "wide workout's" or any other workout for that matter. The real area classic back there is the Conrad Anker (?) 12c. Huecos Rancheros which the first 120 appears to be almost easier than it's neighbor Namaste. Too bad the last 30'or so would kill most of us.
Oh yeah, there is way more stuff back there. Slabs, cracks, free lines, aid lines.....
Stay tuned for our next installment.... Maple Canyon

Dang it...can't get this to run on my homeless computer. I'll have to view it tomorrow at work.
Kolob is an R-X for canyoneering...I had no idea there was climbing there, too!
(That teaser photo is beautiful, Russ.)
