    Thanks everyone!

    Signed up for both AJRoadTrips and Climb-Utah. I'll be geeking out on both sites 'til my trip since I love reading maps/routes anyway and want to be prepared.

    Great story!!

    I was down in Zion that weekend 2010. Trekking up Orderville as ash rained down from the fire. It was a little apocalyptic, let me tell ya.

    Thanks for the link! As much as this region needs the moisture, I'm hoping things stay dry out there through the holidays.

    Wife and I are heading to Moab for NYE this year and are planning on doing this hike. Have you had much snow so far this season? I'm assuming you're dry like we are in Colorado.

    You're definitely right. I can get to Moab in 6 hours and it's definitely a good jumping off point, but it's certainly something I need to plan. Another hour further, though, doesn't really matter...

    Great info, thanks!

    I kind of figured going through a "break-in" period with the rope was necessary. Didn't realize that we were already using an 8mm or so rope, though. That changes things some....
