Super cool TR. The Kolob is amazing. Got on Huecos Rancheros once, shortly after it was put up, got a feet-back- of-the-head rest inside one of those huecos. Skunked before the crux. Maybe you got my bail biner!

Namaste steep?
So steep that while leading (or following for that matter) if you're not confident you can get to the next bolt you'd best hang. Otherwise coming off would likely result in a lower to the ground, pulling the cord and starting up again.

Is he a sh#t talker or what? Big words for a guy who did it in 9 pitches!!!
*good job honey, it would have been a grade IV if I had to make it to the chains on lead**

Kolob is an R-X for canyoneering...I had no idea there was climbing there, too!
Nah, in standard flow, its fairly straightforward. Over 9cfs could get pretty "interesting"...
What the canyoning folks call "Icebox" is pretty good, too. Comes out near one of the bigger arches around.
Nice shots! Always wanted to head back into that fork.
Ditto Sunlight Buttress as a pretty great route.
Let's see the rest of them Utar pic's!
Cheers,

Nice tour and stories Sooze and Russ. Glad you enjoyed the steep hueco climbing in the South Fork. The Namaste is the L route and Huecos Rancheros is the R route. They were drilled on lead in 89 or 90 not sure. The rests are pretty darn remarkable, eh?
How are the bolts holding up? Are they still solid?

Awesome TR, Russ. Those photos were incredible. Made me want to get back there asap and actually climb up instead of down.
BTW--Where'd you find that Athleta™ model to pose on all those fab climbs for you?

Conrad: good stuff you did back there! Did you do the FA on 1/2 route too?
Bolts are looking good on both Namaste and 1/2 route..... I know for sure that at least 9 bolts on Namaste can take an outward pull of a sightseeing 200lbs or so ;)

Hi Russ.... thanks for the feedback. The bolts are still fairly solid. Nice! Those routes are wicked steep. I need to get down there and finish the one route.
No "gym spec" on the distance between bolts, eh? Kinda closer to "Czech spec". in the spirit of jb....
