Mid October Amanda and I took a much needed vacation from work, from covid, from life. We first drove to Eastern Nevada to camp at Lamoile Canyon and were confronted with a fierce snow storm on the very first night of the trip. The following day we drove through Elko to get to 6mile Canyon Hot Springs which was a welcome change from the snow, and later that day we continued to Ely Nevada where we found time to do a little bit of rock hunting. The next day we made the long push from Ely to Nephi UT, but not before stopping at the cowboy coal ovens outside Ely. We spent two days mid week climbing at Maple Canyon and did over half a dozen routes from 5.9 and below all while breaking in our new 60M 9.3mm Petzl Rope. The climbing was incredible, mostly jugs but sometimes polished, everything was bolted phenomenally. We spent two more days hiking around Bryce Canyon before driving back to Nevada. Towards the end of the trip we got to see a natural wonder called Cathedral Gorge, and one more hot spring called Spencer Hot Springs. The trip was a blast and almost surreal. Everything was dirt cheap or free to participate in, even the guide book was rented, everything was outside, and everything was socially distanced!
