Cottonwood Candy

Yesterday was another great day of climbing in Big Cottonwood Canyon. I went climbing with Brenton who will be climbing a few days with me up in the Tetons come July. Todays objective lied on the Mule Hollow Wall. Mule Hollow has a bit longer approach than other climbs. This means more seclusion from others. We didn't see a single sole around.


A view of the wall. It's at an angle that makes it look like a bunch of trees. In reality its a huge 500 foot slab.

The climbing was sweet. Great features on the quartzite. The first pitch was money. The next two were just long run outs/wondering off route type climbing.



A view of the bottom of the climb & a view of the first pitch.

We covered a lot of ground relatively fast. After the climb five rappels brought us down to the ground. Hiking out I managed to bang up my knee, directly on the knee cap! It's still really sore. Ice Ice Ice! Cause tomorrow there might be plans to go up to the Lone Peak Cirque.
