After a nearly eight year break I returned to the finest crack climbing mecca, one of my most favorite places anywhere, Utah's ultra-amazing Indian Creek. With Mike Brumbaugh of
Venture Sports (my partner on many similar trips) and his friend Marc Rouse of
Food By Marc, we climbed for two days, one at Broken Tooth and one day at Supercrack. Beautiful 60 degree temps made for perfect conditions and because it was mid-week we had our first pick of the choice lines. Two days of jamming and scuffing on desert sandstone was all my weak and poorly tuned frame could handle, Mike, however could have climbed forever. I'm super thankful to be living out west so I can go back again soon!
