Cracks at Indian Creek Nov 20th 2007

    Hanging out at Meat wall.... the view is OK???  Actually, as you can see it's more than "OK" . We had friends from all over Canada and the USA  reunite here for Thanks Giving, 2007. There was about 10 of us from Canada and 10 from the US .  We had excellent climbing days followed by good friends eating dinner together around a nice fire.
   Lots of Gear... Preparing before a climb  is necessary , It always helps when you know exactly what you need to bring for each individual climb.  They all require lots of gear.  Alain and I only brought 6 cams total.  Most people here with a standard rack consist of 50 - 70 cams.  Never would we be able to travel on our bikes with that amount of gear, luckily we had a lot of friends sharing their gear with us so we could climb these amazing cracks.

   This is my second time spending thanks Giving with Darrel and it woudn't be the same with out him.  He's a great story teller around a fire, and he always makes sure that everyone has what they need to relax after a hard day of climbing.  He's also a great rope gun. He's been climbing there for a few years now and has climbed a number of routes.  He's great to have around cause he seems to be able to jump on anything and be successful.  

          Sore feet sore Hands... that's what the creek is all about!

Base Jumping Moab Nov 28 2007

One day we were climbing at Wall Street along Potash road and we looked up and saw something fall from the sky. As it got closer we realized it was a base jumper. By the time Alain and I got our camera gear ready a second one had already came down. We were ready for the third one though. This video is from that day.

Some love the adrenaline!!!
