More From Moab

Another stretch of beautiful weather afforded Lexi Tuddenham and I the opportunity to head to Moab to boulder. Here are the results of two sunny days.

The pics: (above) Lexi Tuddenham trying not to get shut down by 'The Pregnancy Arete' (V2). (below) 1-Match on the arete, bump to crimps and move into the high step slab finish- 'Aunt Jemima' (v3). 2-And it's over. Grabbing the good edge on 'Mr. Trujillo's Big Day' (V2). 3-Lexi Tuddenham maneuvering on the accurately named 'Short Stuff' (V1). 4- The before. 5-The after. Christian Prellwitz slapping for the top on 'Black Slab' (V4).

Big Bend Bouldering

After working 20 days straight during the busy holiday period, it was time to take some time off from skiing. I decided to spend Thursday and Friday climbing in Moab. The weather was great for both days, and it was relaxing to spend a few days outside of ski boots, in a t-shirt, climbing some high quality sandstone.

Here are the pics: 1-Christian Prellwitz crimping his way up an unnamed V3. 2-Christian Prellwitz delicately moving through the puzzle that is 'Black Sambo' (V4). 3-The smoke from charred tamarisk (an invasive species) drifts over a partially frozen Colorado River.

Day Trip To Moab

I've hardly been able to do any climbing since I got back to Telluride from New York. I made it out for one spectacular day about a week before Thanksgiving. Since then I've been on the snow every day for almost three weeks straight. I finally got a day off on Friday and the weather, while not the bluebird day that was promised, was nice enough to allow my friend Lexi and I to make it out to Moab for a fun day of bouldering.

Here are some pics of Lexi tearing it up: 1-Lexi sticking the initial crimp on 'BBB-4' (V1). 2-Lexi making progress on an unnamed V1. 3-Lexi scoping for holds on 'Right Exit' (V1).
