We've got it all here folks.
You want limestone caves basalt splitters backcountry granite domes gneiss cliffs rhyolite boulders dacite cliffs sandstone towers.
Are you lonely?
Go to the bolted crags close to the car.
Otherwise it's just you and your dog your partners javelinas scorpions coatimundis mountain lion peregrines big horns coyote rattlesnakes raccoons deer elk bobcat tarantulas bear centipedes.
Oh, it's hot?
My project's at 8500 feet.
What are you waiting for?

You'll appreciate this one, Jefe.
Collin, Helen, Doc and I were standing in one of the camps above Isle of Ewe looking over at this formation and talking about. Collin asks, "Have you done it?" To which I respond, "yes, and it's f*#king terrifying!". They just nodded in agreement.

What is the longest stretch of Aligator Skin at the strong hold? That place and many others look awesome. When are they gonna find the secret treasure trove of ice down there?

It's Reen's Rete as opposed to Irene's Arete in the Tetons .
Irene corrected me herself on point of fact here not long ago. She told the story of Rich Thompson sending her up to lead the second pitch on principle. "You don't get credit on the first ascent unless you lead something."
I did this one at the Granitica Festival again and Rich Thompson was feeling it that day, toetiping around in blue Royal Robbins boots!

It's definitely too hot to climb anywhere in Arizona during the summer.
