Indian Creek Chronicles

Last week, when i went to the creek and met Mr. Beznia for what was going to be a few weeks of crack climbing, we didn't expect the desert rain... It wasn't like we didn't get to do a ton of really great climbing. We did! We also got wet and good at setting up temporary shelter, quick.Rain is rarely seen here.Craig Childs told us (and a whole bunch of other folks gathered at the Moab Public Library) that it is all about the rain, to taste the water. We did. We touched it to our lips. Beyond a shadow of a doubt "The Red Sail" and it's inhabitants came with the best shelter from the rain. Of course.Thierry is undoubtedly the coolest French mountain guide around. We met this European hard-man was chilling at the BridgerJacks camping area and he needed a partner. Being that we had a group of three, with our main man Aubry, it was told to Thierry he could join our posse.In these shots Thierry is busting the gnarly off fist roof capping the route 4x4. He is a burly guy.
Our French friend wasn't the only traveler we met in the creek. Bill from Skagway knew some Alta homies, Carl and Sam were killing it, Merium climbed the wideness with me, and many others chilled with us.
