Just took this picture two days ago. I so wish we had more time to explore. Good news is the Tetons will be knowing me well in the coming year.

Fremont Canyon note: the above photo shows the "average 'elevator-shaft' angle" pretty well! Also shows the "belay ledges" at the river banks.

Mike:
Digital Extraction, so good. Have you climbed the 2nd pitch? We kept that thing (P1) pretty clean last year. After a little gardening the thing is so so good. It is now one of my favorite finger cracks anywhere.
We also went to check that desert crack you posted, out. We walked out to that thing. There are some super old slings on the tree above it. It was filled with wasps so we didnt attempt. But we foudn some snakes out there! Frank and us were trying to figure out who may hae done it. He had no idea.

Dan and Mike Moe climbed that 'desert crack' in about 1977. Dan took pictures but I'm not sure who has them now that Mike and Dan are gone.

Mike F. thanks for the info. We had a group climb it about 10 years ago and I thought one of my friends was trying to kill the other one. There were four or five of us and we got off the Tower early and we would take that road home through the bearlodge for something to do. I had told them about this crack above these boulders I would hit occasionally. My friend had seen it earlier as well and was psyched to climb it. One of the other guys in the car had a falling out with the leader a couple of years prior and this was the first time we had hung out together in years. The belayer procedes to put the leader on belay by placing a upward directional anchor at the bottom and belayed him not connected to his harness. Well the rock at the bottom of that crack is about as soft as butter sitting in the sun. I kind of took a look at it weird, but the leader did not seemed phased as he thought it would only be about 5.8 and he started up. Well he got about half way up and started scetching out as he said it felt about 5.11 and was sandy as hell. I quickly put him on belay where he scetched his way to the top and the disaster was diverted. There seems to be miles of that sandstone around, but most of it is on or behind private property. There are some good looking cracks and boulders on the decent on the highway down to the tower coming from Sundance on your right. As for Digital Extraction that is my all time favorite climbing photo I have taken and have since lost track of the negative. It was a guy from Grand Junction about 10 years ago and he walked the thing.
