Cathedral Peak climb iPhone vid 8. After celebrating for a bit, we lowered off the summit block and began the long scramble down the backside. We both managed to get some small bumps and scrapes getting to the top, but for the most part we were intact and feeling accomplished. :)

Cathedral Peak climb iPhone vid 5. This is where things got interesting. I managed to get off route and ended up leading the hardest pitch of my life. My last protection was a sketchy cam placement perhaps 20ft below me, which meant that if I slipped, it would be a 40ft fall and a pendulum IF that last cam placement held. I managed to make it to a small ledge, and built a belay to bring up Jason.

I took a pretty good whipper while climbing in Arches with @jemadmonkey I’ve got an ugly bruise and a little missing skin, but otherwise it was super fun. It’s crazy how time slows down when you’re falling through the air. #archesnationalpark

Had an awesome day climbing in South Utah with @jemadmonkey
Route finding was challenging but the climb and the views were amazing.

Another quick iPhone vid from the Wind River Range last month. Wyoming really blew my mind. It’s crazy how much geographical diversity exists within this country.
