It looked easy enough. The rock was the sandiest rock I've climbed. I learned pretty fast to climb with my mouth shut, every foothold needs the loose sand to be swept off, every hand jam sent a stream of loose sand down on me. As I climb I get dirtier, it was hot, I was sweating and the sand stuck to me. I was unsure of the friction, it felt like all the holds were covered with ballbearings, I was unsure of the jams as I felt like I was climbing a vertical but cracked sandpit. "Welcome to Utah", they laughed. I think I'd been sandbagged quite literally. I complete the route, and although it wasn't hard, I feel I delt with an alien climbing situation fairly well
