St. George

Today we checked into the excellent Best Western St. George; indoor/outdoor swimming pool, jacuzzi, pool tables, video arcade and perhaps most importantly: a really excellent breakfast. After reorganizing our bags a bit, we set out for the local crag. The Chuckawalla wall is a big chunk of well bolted red sandstone about 5 minutes north of town

whic is really a blast. We worked our way left from the moderates on the right, took a burn on what I think was Armageddon and then onto "As the Crow Flies", which I grunted through on site. I then went back ro armageddon for the redpoint. We really enjoyed all of the climbs on this wall, but paced ourselves and left early to go buy the Todd Goss guidebook. From the climbing store, we continued on to Zion Canyon, but saw the crowds of people and cars and left.
