Jen and I decided to take a three-day weekend and head to Zion for a bit of biking and a ton of climbing. Things didn't go exactly as expected, but they were still pretty good. On Saturday we met up with a few of Jen's friends and rode Little Creek Mesa, which was incredibly fun. Not a lot of up or down, just tons of rolling terrain with plenty of chances to play around. On Sunday we headed into the park for something long and moderate. Settling on Right Toilet Crack (which climbs better than it sounds), we thugged our way through a couple pitches of wideness, including a super fun squeeze chimney with a roof exit, before coming to an overhanging squeeze / offwidth section that was way bigger than our largest piece. I didn't want to risk falling onto the belay and Jen didn't want anything to do with it either way, so we turned around. Despite the constant gray skies and drizzling weather, nothing cut loose, so we drove over the Kung Fu Theatre to finish off the day. The next morning, however, the storm was in full force. We broke down camp as fast as we could and drove home in sideways snow and sleet. Our bikes were not happy.
