Top fall destinations by Phillip

Gurkha, Reservoir Wall, Indian Creek

Besides driving around a bunch for work, this past month has seen two rock trips to Indian Creek, Utah and a trip to Yosemite Valley. Indian Creek is in southwestern Utah near Moab and is internationally renowned for crack climbing on red sandstone. The climbing is so good that you end up forgetting the 12 hour drives and dreaming of going back be it only for a weekend. Yosemite stands without introduction. I recommend watching the documentary Vertical Frontier if you are interested in the climbing history in this national park. Our Yosemite trip was spent trying to climb offwidth (awkward size) cracks and working on the Rostrum, a hard 800 foot route on the west end of the valley.
