After leaving Joe's Valley, Lexi and I headed to Ibex, in the remote western Utah desert, for a night of camping and a day of climbing. The weather proved far less windy than last year, but also much warmer. In spite of that, it was fun to spend some time pulling down on the unique stone of Ibex. Lexi struggled with the power and reach required on many of the problems but persevered in the end with some proud sends. I was happy to track my progression by climbing several problems that had previously stumped me.The pics: Lexi Tuddenham checking out the opening moves of an unnamed v1 on the The Cow Boulder. The empty desert unfurls in the background. (below) Lexi pulling hard on 'Defused', a very beautiful and powerful v2.
