Kolob Morning

This was last Sunday in Kolob Canyon of Zion National Park.
We went to climb Sunshine Dihedral and it was so scary and chossy that I wasn't having any fun.
We made it up half way and decided to head down. The bummer of it was that I had wanted to climb that route for years and finally when we were actually on it, I didn't think it was worth the hype. I loved being in the park and the views but other than the first pitch, the route is a pile. This coming from someone who normally likes a little fear with my cereal!

Location: Left of the Court of the Patriarchs.

Up the Sand Bench Trail and off to your right you will see this feature.

Enjoy the OW and the roof through the blocks!

Good hands a bit overhanging and some chimney to the top.

The rap line is off to the left. I think you need two ropes for rappel (it's been a while)

Enjoy the short approach and afternoon shade and of course some solitude in the park!

Mike B and I put this one up years ago and I always forgot to post it.

One day in a blizzard and another with perfect weather.

Pitch one is physical with some OW, Pitch 2 is OW and mellow, Pitch 3 is behind the giant block, and Pitch 4 is fun and a bit sandy. Each one is an adventure.
