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!

wes, mostly yes, a few shots were with my old olympus digi, which died on this trip due to complications with a sand-storm that also ate a tent.

JB, spectacular photos. really...very beautiful.

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...

Cool stuff for sure.

I've been really curious and interested in Unaweep. Is there trad in5.7 to 5.9 range?

Is there trad in5.7 to 5.9 range?

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.

Sweet Sunday Serenade is a 3 pitch 5.9, apparently its a classic.

This site has some good info...

A more detailed guidebook is Unaweep Rock, or something like that, by KC Baum. Might be out of print, but its out there.
