Nice. I have been down in the clarks fork several times. What a cool awesome place. We were thinking of heading there at spring break but reports of deep snow there and east rosebud led us to go further south for our own ice /desert adventure. The flu put the breaks on a lot of our plans but we did climb ice in lake city and Silverton and climbed ancient art and some easy stuff in escalante. Ice then red stone has such a nice dichotomy and to get a nice fa on ice is super cool.

Akio,
I had a deja vu moment as I read this fine TR.
I seem to recall another TR you posted some time ago--as I was reading it, I kept thinking, "Damn, this guy is bionic or something!" and "Damn, he takes great photos too!" and "Damn, he sure gets around!"
Needless to say, all of those "Damns" could apply to this TR as well. Excellent work. Beautiful images. Thanks for taking us along with you.

"My uncle happened to be in town for a conference, so we took him out to Red Rock for a quick climb before his flight. He showed up with a growler of beer, which was empty by noon..."
Perfect.
