Green Valley Gap
Kimberly, Kessler, Shaylee, and I left Mesquite in the morning and headed for the Green Valley Gap near Saint George for some climbing. It was a nice day and most of the climbs were already "taken". Most of the ones left were either too hard to too easy for most. We all climbed Brazilian Ninja, Texas Jug, and an Unknown climb several times. Our guidebook said that the rock was loose here, but we found it to be pretty solid for sandstone.
First visited Green Valley Gap several years ago, very accessible, we actually were looking for a few last pitches before we caught a flight out of town. This trip, took the kids, super place to hang out and let everyone climb at their own level, pace. Also the warmest of the crags in St. George, short sleeves in December, hard to compete with. Many fun routes, more could be developed on the north wall and I am sure it is being done. Future housing development could zap this place though, so get out for a visit before it is gone.

Fun climbingGreat place to take people that have never gone climbing before. Fun to go night climbing at when there is a full moon out.
