First time climbing on Potash Road: Wall Street
Date: November 27, 2019 (Wed);  Partner: Mike Cichon
After climbing on Where Have All the Wild Things Gone?, Mike and I drove to Indian Creek, where we planned to spend the rest of Thanksgiving week. However, an unforecasted snowstorm deposited 5 inches of snow on us after our first day. So we drove back to Moab and cragged a day at Wall Street while we waited for the snow to melt in Indian Creek. Wall Street is a popular cragging area near Moab. And for good reason. The 500-foot cliff of Navajo sandstone towers above the Colorado River and UT 279, and there are more than 100 routes, both bolted face and cracks, ranging in difficulty from 5.4 to 5.12. With its sunny aspect, Wall Street is a great place to spend a cool day.

Second time climbing on Potash Road: Day Canyon & Wall Street
Date: November 23, 2023 (Thu);  Partner: Nate Arganbright
For Thanksgiving 2023, Nate and I decided to go to Moab. We found a cute airbnb 7 miles south of Moab, where we would stay Thursday through Saturday nights. Unfortunately, the weather deteriorated in the days leading up to the trip, so our plans to climb tower routes every day were thwarted. But given the Estes Park forecast was for snow and freezing temperatures, we decided to go anyway, and hopefully get in a few pitches of climbing and do some desert hiking. On Thanksgiving Day, we managed one half day of climbing at Potash Road. We climbed one route in Day Canyon and two routes at Wall Street.

First time climbing on River Road: El Segundo (5.9+, 2p)

Climbed El Segundo (5.9+, 2p) near the entrance to River Road canyon. Photos from this climb are on my Moab 2014 trip report.

Second time climbing on River Road: Terma (5.9, 3p) and Spear of Destiny (5.9, 1p)
Date: January 3, 2020 (Fri);  Partner: Rob Dillon
I was desperate to climb something during my winter break, and weather looked sunny (albeit chilly) in Moab. Moab local Rob Dillon responded to my mountainproject post. Our plans to climb in the Creek were a bit too optimistic for the sub-freezing temperatures and cloudy skies, and we ended up cragging just a half day at River Road. We managed two routes: (1) Terma, a 3-pitch 5.9 to the rim whose first two pitches are bolted and (2) Spear of Destiny, a unique and fun 1-pitch 5.9 route climbing the chimney behind a detached pillar, with bolts for protection. With the winter conditions, we had the entire River Road to ourselves. I drove to Arizona the next day to find climbable temperatures.
