I just moved to Great Basin N.P. where I'll be living for the next few months and I'm looking for a climbing partner in the area. I lead trad and sport in the 11s and boulder up to v4ish but I'm game to climb anything. I have experience developing both trad and sport but I don't own my own drill. If anyone is in the area and looking for a partner either post on here or shoot me and email.

Zac,

that's an awesome area. Check out the new West Utah Desert guide amazon.com/Utahs-West-Deser… that just came out, a lot more than just Ibex. Plus, a lot of rad (however underground) sport climbing around Ely, and you're only 6hrs from the Creek!!! Enjoy.

Zac,
There is some awesome stuff accross the vally from Ibex at Notch Peak. As for in park you can always try one of the infamous faces up the Wheeler Cirque. I put some bolts up in the Ely area a while ago so let me know what areas you are intrested in... Also get into caving there are some stellar backcountry caves in the park as well as the surrounding USFS and BLM land. Funny side note the local Ely Regional Airport flys directly to Moab.

Get out and hit some two-tracks and put up some routes there is so much potential and so few people.
Luck,
Adam
