Joe's Valley and Other Destinations

Two weeks ago I went on a trip to Joe's Valley with tow of the kids that I coach.  This was the first time that any of us have ever been to Joe's!  This was mostly a recon trip to see what the grading and climbing was like.  Joe's has some of the most amazing sandstone that I have climbed on in a long time.  I have climbed on sandstone in NUMEROUS places such as Garden of the Gods, Red Rocks, Moe's Valley, Triassic, and RROCS and I can honestly says that Joe's is one of my favorite sandstone areas!  Joe's is nestled in this little canyon just outside of Orangeville, UT.  At night when we arrived we couldn't see anything and slept with excitement for what the morning would bring!  The next day we woke up and sent 20 problems ranging from V1-V6.  We got on some harder problems to test the water so that when we went home we knew what we needed to train for.  We got on Resident Evil V10 and sussed out the moves and the last little while we've been training so in two weeks we can get back down there and send shit!  Anyways here are some pictures from Joe's and a few other trips that I've been on this summer!
