Maple Canyon was great! There was a group of eight of us that went this morning and four went last night.
We first went to the Zen Garden, which got pretty cold, then the Minute Wall, and then the Pipe-Dream Cave. At the cave there were some guys that were pretty good and were working on some of the tougher routes (pictured right.) I was impressed. I only did a 11b. During this climb I ripped a hold off of the wall. Fortunately, Luke was there to save me with a beautiful belay. Caleb also did very well and was able to make it to the top of a 12d with only four falls.
My favorite part was when my wife and I did a really long 180′ pitch at the Thessalonian Buttress. We then just sat there and enjoyed the view of the canyon. There were also a lot of people that were gawking at us. The climb wasn’t very difficult but was at a very high profile for the non-climbers that come to the canyon.
Just remember that next week is the trip to Moab. Come and have fun.

Remember that tomorrow is the trip to Maple Canyon. Email me if you would like to come: summit@livetheoutdoors.com. It will be a lot of fun and we should be able to get some good climbing in.
Also, next week the BYU Outdoor Adventure club will be hosing a trip to Moab, UT. It is available to club members only, so, if you are a BYU student, join and pay your dues. If you aren’t a BYU student, enroll, join the club, and pay your dues. It’s that simple.

My name is ”Summit” (It’s a superhero thing) and I love the outdoors. I have been to many cool places. Most of these places have been around Utah, where I live. Next Saturday I will go rock climbing with a group of friends in Maple canyon. If you don’t know where it is try this link for a map to Maple Canyon. Actually, the map only shows you how to get to Wales, UT, but from there I think there are signs that lead you to the canyon. Email me if you want to come: summitATlivetheoutdoorsDOTcom
Now that I have started this blog I would like many to participate. If you have some additional comments or corrections, please make them. If you have something that you want me to blog about then let me know. Thanks.
