Cameltoe - Moab
We were told there are no slots around Moab and that there are no class C canyons in the desert.
Here are some pretty pictures from our day in the desert. And remember.... we invited every member of this forum to join us so it's your own fault if you missed out

Looks pretty cold, did you guys go on Saturday?

sweet pix!!
the canyon looks pretty scenic, especially with all that water flowing through it ... lucky you! that waterfall rappel pix rocks!
... and naturally shane finds a way to adhere a perverse name ...
more secret canyons? is this shane/RG's name or the guiding company's name?
thanks for the pix!

At the moment this TR is just fluff (pretty pictures to tease you). That is mostly because we are still working on the best possible route. Our approach sucked, but we think that we have an awesome new approach worked out to what should be a fun route. Best of all the new route doesn't require a car shuttle. With the help of Rockgremlin and a few others we hope to establish several fun Moab routes this winter.
If anyone else wants to join in on the fun the more the marrier....

Moab Fun
Can you believe how quickly the weather changed from Friday to Saturday in Moab? Some friends and I climbed Elephant Butte in that rain. Even with sticky rubber shoes I almost ended up on my butt a couple times. We slid down a lot of the slope. The lichen got wet and was like grease.
Awesome TR. I'm glad to know somebody got to go swimming
Remember kids, don't try this at home. Try it at someone else's home.

Re: Moab Fun
I'm surprised you guys didn't get a shower at the final rappel. I always figured that final rappel could be interesting in a big rain storm. Originally Posted by moabfool

Re: Moab Fun
I did get a shower at the last rap, but not much of one. It was just a trickle, kinda like the second (non-mandatory) rap in Birch Hollow last year. The "theater" (just below the semi-sketch 5.4 move) had a pretty good amount of water. There was also a lot of flow down the "slot" below the first rap when the first person got there, but it subsided quickly and was just a trickle when I got there. We got to the last rap after a lull in the rain and a little bit of sun. The "pothole" guarding the last rap had been scoured and was about a foot deep instead of the usual four or five inches.
