Na, I went down to Provo Canyon on Saturday intending to solo Stairway if I couldn't find a partner. Well, there was a rather large group from Exum playing on the right side of the apron, an a group of U.U. students playing on the left. I counted 11 TR's at that point.
Well, I pimped around a bit till I found a student who'd not yet been above the apron, but was willing to follow anything that had a rope, so I went to the top of 5 with him in tow. He did pretty well, only fell once near the top of 5 when his tool slipped out his hand. Didn't take 'im too long to get back up to it, luckily it was right at the top so I could see what was going on. lost one of my biners though... a blue petzl Spirit if anyone should happen to find it
Thinking it may have left clipped to an anchor, I took another friend up there today and scrounged around for it, with no luck. She did pretty well, till her crampon came off in the middle of p5. There was a v-thread where a guy bailed from yesterday right at her waist, so I had her clip direct and put the 'pon back on, whereby she scampered right up the rest of the way.
Prophet on a Stick is looking pretty enticing, but I think I may have to hit up Shower Tower next weekend if this weather holds. I've never been there, and I'd love to check it out.
Anybody been to Santaquin this past weekend? How's things looking just east of ACT... Big curtain/dagger hanging off the roof-edge up high, but no pillar showing up just yet?
DK, you gots a maple report?
