Description
This route is dedicated to my Uncle Paul Moore and all the friends that I have climbed with through the years spending our summers in the Uintas. We've been Chasing Uncle Paul all over these mountains climbing his routes from Stongarden to Moore wall. Uncle Paul was one charismatic fun loving guy. In an era where the expectation was for you to grind away until till you retired, he bucked the trend and spent his life doing the things he loved, climbing and skiing. He put in exploratory anchors at these walls 20+ years ago while exploring the Bald mountain/ Moosehorn area. A car accident tragically took his life at young age of 40 in 1998. 20 years later we found his anchors and continued his legacy starting with this route. Remember when you climb CUP you're never alone, you're clipping and whipping with Uncle Paul. So clip those chains, turn around and enjoy the view.
