Location: UT : Moab Area : The Maze District : Cleopatra's Chair : Regular Route (5.6 A0)
By: Creed Murdock When: Oct 27, 2004 | view comment >> | Comments: Based on location and asthetics this climb is a must, a true hidden gem. I would agree that the mantle move from the ledge without shoulder assist is more 5.8/5.9ish, definatly the crux (wear your helmet). My first trip up the chair was about 8yrs ago, we hauled up packs and bivied on the summit. The block 10-15ft south of the summit is flat and big enough to perfectly fit a 4 man tent. If you want to experince the ultimate desert sunset and sunrise in the comfort of a sleeping bag this is the p... more >>

Location: UT : Wasatch Range : Mount Olympus : The West Slabs : The West Slabs (5.5)
By: Creed Murdock When: Oct 25, 2004 | view comment >> | Comments: Great Climb! There are fixed anchors with small red ribbons for visibility on pitches 2,3,4. From Tree anchor on pitch 1 just continue straight up and slightly to the left. I've tried decending this slab several ways, none have proven enjoyable. Walking off the back and down to the main Mt. Olympus trial definately not reccomended-unless you like rattle snakes and bushwacking!

By: Creed Murdock When: Oct 25, 2004 | view comment >> | Comments: Approach,the slot canyon may require wading through some water, depending on recent weather. We had to wade 2 waist deep potholes. We avoided the potholes on the way back down by climbing out of the canyon(one 5.5 move) to the north where you encounter the drop with a big chokestone, head toward a small V-notch(5.2)then scarmble ramps to the valley floor. The climb was great. Pitch 4,5,7,8 are VERY exposed with little to no protection. Be prepared for long 100-200ft runouts on sandy rock(quality... more >>
