Extreme ChaXi: Moab Desert

We marched into the hot and dry desert surrounding Moab, Utah. A dry wind blew dust around us. Lizards fled from our path.

The boulders were hard, smooth sandstone marked with pockets and smooth ledges, leading to high top outs.

We found a shady spot, protected from the sun, under one of the climbs. We brewed an easy drinking young Sheng Pu’er to match the intensity of the environment and the heat.
