Nothing fancy here, just a bunch of pictures. No need to spray a drawn out trip report or step-by-step account of our adventures. We climbed, we played, we ran errands, we did all the shit everyone else does, only we rode our bikes.
Earlier this spring, before the reality of summer descended, before Liz’s injury, I had grandiose dreams of doing all the rad shit SLC climbers and skiers do, only by bike. But the world has it’s ways and they took us away from SLC for most of the summer. Our time in the Valley was short but we still managed to do a few trips to highlight the bike-ability of SLC and celebrate a Year of the Bike that seemed to go unnoticed by the climbing community. Enjoy a few pictures from a couple of our more memorable Y.O.B. celebrations, a simul-solo of Mt. Olympus’s west slabs route, and a full on adventure to the top of the Middle Bell Tower.
Inspiring to see you guys continue doing the no-car thing in Salt Lake, happy fossil-fuel-free sending!
Other then the air quality SLC is a blast, tons of quality stone within bike, train, or bus distance. Doesn’t hurt that you can always make it home to sleep in a bed! Hope you’re doing well Max, shoot me an email if you get a chance, love to hear how you’re doing!
