Ice Cream Parlor
January 28 2023
Julie, Tim, Sean, Kim, Kessler, and I first canyoneered Rim Shot Canyon near Moab. It was straight forward except for the last rappel which was coated in ice. Since the standard anchors were buried under ice we used a fiddle stick and rappelled off a tree up canyon. We had to slide over the ice and then dodge and icicle, so the canyon was much more exciting than it usually is.
After completing Rim Shot Canyon we headed to the Ice Cream Parlor (climbing area) and we all did various climbs. I did Black Slab, Left Slab, Brewed Awakenings, and the first part of 5.6 Corner.

After climbing Elephant Butte and dropping the girls off in Moab, Kessler and I headed for the Ice Cream Parlor. We didn't have the guidebook with us, so just chose a climb that didn't already have climbers on it. It was also nearing sunset by the time we started.
We ended up climbing Black Slab. Kessler led, I climbed it once, and then Kessler was able to climb it again in the fading daylight. It was dark by the time he was finished, so we headed back down.
Great afternoon climbing, sun on the cliffs in the afternoon, lovely scenery, nice climbing -did about 6 different routes: really enjoyed Parlor Game 5.9, lead Left Slab 5.7, Crack 3 really fun 5.8 and Crack 2 5.8+, Nightlight 5.10- and 5.6 corner.
Stopped by "Birthing Rock" on the way out and watched cliff jumpers from the climbs.
We only discovered this gem on our second visit to Moab. Wallstreet is what is on the tip of everyone's tongue, as you can belay from your truck up and down Potash Road, no exaggeration. But the Kane Springs Canyon area is so much more pristine, minus the potash trucks zooming by with much more to do including a couple of cool stand alone objectives like the Predator. As the crow flies, this whole area is actually closer to town as well. Cheers.
