Joe's Valley April 2010



Raiden No Substance

The Food Ranch

I visited Joe's Valley 2 weekends ago. I climbed on a lot of classic problems that I had never been on including Kelly's Arete, Raiden, Killed by Numbers, Chips, Self Service, and I'd Rather Be Climbing Her.

After the Hueco Tanks season I decided to take a month off climbing to allow my body to recover from the winter and the past 2 years of constant climbing without a long break. I've been climbing at Mars Roof and a few other areas in Northern Arizona to get my fitness back. I'm moving to Estes Park, CO this weekend to spend the summer climbing in the high country,as well as working a tree trimming job, before I have to return to Flagstaff in the fall for nursing school.
