Another great page, Radek. Am glad you put a piece in there about the cryptobiotic crust. That stuff is particularly fragile, which some might not realize. Your various desert pages, as well as some recent pieces in Climbing & Alpinist, have whetted my appetite for desert sandstone (been to the area before but before I climbed)!
"Cryptobiotic Soil Crust." I had posted the request on Island in the Sky, Snow Canyon. I love Moab, will spend more time in Arches next trip for sure. Cheers.
Nice page- impressive summit climb. There is tough climbing on these striking formations. I like your "style" of summits listed on SP: not often the tallest, but impressive vertical rock formations. SP needs more of that in my opinion. You can definitely tell who the rock climbers are on SP

You'll love the desert! Tower routes are probably my favorite type of climbing - just awsome.

Untitled CommentTHank you very much Sean!
wish my climbing had more style in it (=less dogging) to be able to call myself more of a climber :)
