Due to an inclement weather forecast in Utah we held off our departure for Moab until Thursday. On the way we had a good session at Clear Creek where I am starting to come frustratingly close to Muddy Waters. It seemed that the bad weather from Utah was heading towards Colorado because the drive over the mountains was long and snowy. We arrived in Moab to clear skies at 3 am but woke up four hours later to being haled on. Fortunately the blocks dried quickly and we were able to climb on the Navajo sandstone for the next three days. I was able to send Chaos (V8) pretty quickly, falling off trying to match the lip of the boulder a number of times before topping out. The climb is defiantly the gem of the area and worth stopping through to do. I also climbed an awesome slab arete called Blue Light (V9) that proved to be very difficult for me along with a number of easier but equally fun problems.
