Teasing it out

Checking on the local secret stash

Puking. The good kind.

Bryce Canyon Turkey Traverse

Popping like a turkey timer

A linkup of every ranked 13er, 12er and a few other peaks along the rim of the La Platas:

Parrot, Madden, Star, Gibbs, Burwell, Spiller, Babcock (West & Middle), Moss, Lavender, Hesperus, Centennial, Sharkstooth, Diorite, Efendi, Indian Trail, Cumberland, Snowstorm, Lewis, Baker, Silver, Deadwood

That was way harder than what I imagined when I drew it up in Caltopo. Thanks to Jack Van Lancker & Noah Grage for guinea pigging this route and providing beta.

Some random thoughts: summiting Middle Babcock from the west is sketchy AF. Every rock in the steep pinner is ready to sail. Hesperus dinner plates are ankle torture. But Sharkstooth takes the title for most dangerous choss pile. I set off several big rock slides ascending and descending it. I made one major navigational error between Efendi and Indian Trail. Got cliffed out, doubled back and had to bypass to the east. Lewis's north ridge catwalk is incredible. Maybe the most solid rock in the LPs? The exposure is spooky in the dark. Managed to rip my finger open while descending its scree on the south. Scree and darkness don’t mix. 

I’m so worked over. La Plata choss is mentally and physically taxing. 

My watch reset on Lewis so I combined the two files. Started at 4:25a. Finished at 1:28a. For 21 hrs, 3 min.
