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..........

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!
