Matt and Linn came out from Stockholm for a Pre-Wedding- Ski/Desert/Friends-Trip.  We met up Thursday eve. in the Swell and dropped into Baptist Draw the following morning.

View from camp....

The smile says it all....
Last Drop into the main canyon...

The drive down from Salt Lake was one of the better ones..


Strait down, Rigging the big two stage rap.  About 50' or so to the ledge, then about 70' or 80' to the floor...

For those of who aren't aware, I'm now in charge of the first Utah Micro Distillery.  High West Distillery is currently located in the Salt Lake Valley and will have a second location,  along with a restaurant and club, in Park City, Utah in 2009.  Founder and partner David Perkins contacted me shortly after my return from the UK and we connected immediately.  I will continue to do private work for RedRock Brewing on a limited basis in the future, but I think I'll be plenty busy starting this company with David.

No, I'm not German, but I had the flag in my bag for whatever reason...
With Spring here, we've had to go to the highest points in the Wasatch for good snow...

Unfortunately when we got up there the visibility was horrible.  This was about 200-300 ft. from where you gain the ridge to summit Twin Peaks.  When we got to the top the vis. was far worse.

Spring has begun to take over the valley so its time to get the wheels spin'n.
First A.M. ride to work didn't disappoint.
