Hey team,
I've spent the last couple of months stealing all your advice and salivating over your pictures so I figured it was time to say hi and thank y'all for giving me something to do while ignoring the professors whose mortgage I'm paying. I'm a Texan boy who hated the mountains when I moved up here - now I'm a Texan boy with a soft spot for Utah who couldn't imagine not having these giant piles of rock right outside of my front door.
I've been climbing for a couple of years but really got into it (learned to lead and started going outside) last year. I also got bit by the canyoneering bug and have read so many of your TRs and tips that I feel that I could pick a lot of you out just by reading your insults to each other and the candidates for natural selection you take such pleasure in deriding. I don't mean this in a creepy, stalkerish, I have shrines to you sort of way...more of an excited, stoked to meet some of y'all and have you tear apart my technique and self esteem sort of way.
I've done some canyons in Zion (Englestead twice, Spry, Keyhole) but am trying to get to some of the more remote locations. I'm always down to skip class and head anywhere and I have dozens of canyons I've read about and want to try. I'm a gourmet chef and grillman who will be a lawyer in less than 2 years. So if any of y'all ever want to trade a spot on a trip for some food and the promise of free legal advice, I'm your man. Depending on how many more classes I miss, the legal advice might not be sound but the food will be damned good. See y'all on here.
