Moab - The fun continues!

As the week continues there are more and more opportunites to hike, climb and photograph the landscape.
Moab really is beautiful with so much to see and do........


Canyoneering in Entrajo Canyon:













A couple of local bars where a well earned beer is always on offer!






Great light as the sun goes down over the Colorado river:

Ancient Art Tower - Moab, Utah

Fantastic days climbing!!!

Ancient Art Tower - The Big Climb!

I'd seen this tower on the Internet and on the TV, however, it's soooooo much better in real life!

Climbing Ancient Art was a truly amazing experience!!!

 
Hiking in


Check out that view!

Climbing the first pitch

Climbing 'Stolen Chimney' pitch

Climbing the last pitch before the summit.

Walking across the saddle - by far the scariest bit!


The summit climb....


On the summit - Fantastic!!!

Abseiling off the summit!

Hiking out after a successful day, a very happy guy!!!

Rock Climbing in Moab

Moab is well known for the fantastic climbing that it has an offer, this was my first couple of days finding out what the place has in store for me..........












Climbing 'Molar Chimney'


Megan, my guide.



Time to hit the US again!

Following a few of weeks in the UK it's time to head off again!

After a long flight, a stop over in LA, I drive south from Salt Lake City to the desert to a small place called Moab.  Here I am planning to do some climbing, hiking and anything that involves water, crags, mountains and canyons!

These were some of my first views of the landscape in Moab - simply amazing!
