Thanks all.
We were in the middle of nowhere - or more exactly "Long Canyon" - for most of the trip. It's a tributary canyon of the White Canyon complex, near where the Colorado meets and drains into Lake Powell south of Hanksville. We spent a little time around Moab too, and climbed a bit in Unaweep outside of Grand Junction. disco posted some pics of the climbing in Unaweep. It was a great trip. Spring in the desert is amazing. flowers growing out of nothing. beautiful. nobody goes where we went. petroglyphs, arrowheads, pictographs, and no trails!

Yes, it was an incredible week to be in the desert, so much fun I've been in the canyon country every weekend since May 7...we miss you JB, come back! I've got some more secret spots...

Yep. Most of it is 2-3 pitch stuff, beautiful valley, and good rock. Sunday Wall is the best wall in Unaweep, according to the locals.Is there trad in5.7 to 5.9 range?
Sweet Sunday Serenade is a 3 pitch 5.9, apparently its a classic.
