Mystery Canyon!!!

Mystery Canyon in Southern Utah...




This is, by far, my favorite slot canyon I've done so far. Only a few people are allowed through each day so you'll need to wake up early to get to the visitor center to get your permits.

You'll encounter some good rappels (13 in total and up to about 150' I believe, so you'll need two ropes), a couple of the rappels are over waterfalls, you'll also get to see indian ruins and gorgeous scenery.



Big rappel over minor waterfall.

Looking oh so serious about the next rappel.

Last rappel over a waterfall into the middle of The Narrows.

Lone Peak




My old climbing partner from Utah. The guy is a complete badass, although he is using my jacket because he got cold... Just sayin man;)
This is Lone Peak which is a 7 mile gruesome hike up a mountain that we have to start at about 6:30 in the morning just to have a chance to climb and get down before or slightly after dark. We've yet to complete it but plan to go back and get it.



Another point of view from the last pic. That's the SLC valley to the right and the Provo valley to the left.

New Years 2010




The last sunset of 2010. It was quite the race and honestly I missed the best shot. But still it was worth it.

2010 was a good year and much was accomplished. I moved to CO, I broke my leg jumping off a building (awesome sauce), met new people, and actually accomplished a few goals.
