the diary of a [newbie] rock climber

i've recently discovered the intoxication that is rock climbing. what follows is a collection of random thoughts, experiences and images related to my newbie rock climbing adventures. note: climbing is a dangerous activity. these are only my opinions and shouldn't be substituted for good sense and education. climb safely and at your own risk.

crackin' up indian creek


i ended up crack climbing at indian creek, utah over the long easter weekend. well, what i should say is pretending to crack climb. there's a lot to recall about the trip but i'm so pooped right now that i think it's best to postpone the narrative -- i'll probably type something regrettable or lame. more to come.

above is a photo of my newbie tape job. more photos of the trip can be seen here:
