Lizzy on our 13 hour driving day to Utah Last year we went to Indian Creek with a plan and a Tick list. We had looked online and at the 1st edition of the Bloom guide and came up with 27 classics at 11 different crags. These climbs were our main objective and we were [...]
Lizzy an I are back in SoCal after a wonderful week in the Utah Desert. We really had a fun time at Indian Creek and hanging out in Moab. I’ll get into more details nd write a proper Trip Report once we get some photos downloaded later this week. We got back yesterday after an [...]
Luke and I are still a little shell-shocked that it’s March already. This is historically my busiest, most ridiculous month.

Indian Creek! What is IC? It is hard, sunny, sandy pure crack climbing. You won’t find jugs, crimps or normal hand holds at the Creek. Never ending splitters of all sizes guaranteed to have at least one stretch of your worst size. There are off-with pods, threatening fist cracks and my personal nemesis the ever [...]
I finished my last final of the term yesterday, which was pretty awesome. It’s always a huge relief to get even a brief reprieve from the work and stress of the term. This one was especially stressful at times with a certain neuro class that had WAY more work than the units I’m receiving for [...]
