After Ibex it was off for three days in Joe's Valley as our tour of Utah continued. Well it turned out the word on Joe's is out and it was just about the dead opposite experience that we had just had in Ibex. On Saturday there were over 40 people at the Black Lung boulder alone, with probably 10 more scattered at any time in the other Area 51 boulders. That being said it turned out that a lot of the people I enjoy climbing with were there and I got to say whatup to Carlo, G, Conner, Alex, Ryan, Brian, Chuck, Rylan, Bret, and Kyle. Everyone was sending in good form and a even a few of the larger sessions were fun, just as it did not get too big as to one getting the feeling of waiting in line. Given that I was 7 days on rolling into Joe's both my tips and power were not that their fullest but I still had an amazing time and it just reminded me how much I love the climbing in Joe's. I made some progress on some harder stuff but the best moment came when I was able to Flash Kehl's The Wind Below (20+ feet, V7) on our last day. A very nice cherry on top of an already amazing trip. Shots of that session to come.

Kyle on Resident Evil
Ander on Wills a Fire, or is he trying They Call Him Jordan...
Looks to be the latter
