only hand I can find on pokernews from dinner break to his bust hand

Mo Can't Beat the Nuts
Posted 8 hours 16 minutes ago SantanaBandana • Level 17: 12,000-24,000, 4,000 ante

Jason Mo raised to 53,000 from early position, Matt Glantz three-bet to 120,000 on the button, and Mo called. Mo check-called another 110,000 on a flop of {5-Hearts}{j-Spades}{7-Diamonds}, and the turn was the {10-Hearts}. Both players checked.

The {q-Clubs} completed the board, Mo check-called one more bet worth 425,000, and Glantz showed {a-Diamonds}{k-Spades} for the nuts.

Mo mucked.

TR part 2:

We drove to Zion National Park, which is located in south west Utah. Our original plan was to spend three nights in Zion and do two large hikes- Angels Landing and The Narrows. Both hikes were deemed ‘strenuous’ and anywhere from 6-10 miles round trip. The first night we stayed right outside of the park due to arriving there too late for a camp site. We did a short hike in the Emerald Pools. Some pictures here:







The day after, we secured a camp site in the early morning and did Angels Landing first. Angels Landing is a big hike that is characterized by the last section- a big rock scramble in the middle of the Zion park valley. The first 2 miles are brutal and filled with very steep switchbacks. The later part is the rock scramble. The trail is marked by chains along the side of the mountain and you are literally 10 feet from the edge of the cliff at times. Those afraid of heights should not attempt going on Angels Landing. Here are some pictures:



















After finishing Angels Landing, we decided to do the Narrows as well. We ate lunch and then went back on the bus, hiking to The Narrows trailhead (essentially just the river). The Narrows hike is truly unique and one that I have not experienced outside of Zion. The entire hike is almost entirely in knee deep water. It’s almost like canyoneering to some degree (something that I would love to try one day).
The hike itself is gorgeous- seeing the vegetation inside of the deep canyon walls and valley is a fantastic sight.








We did not finish the entire hike (roughly 9.5 miles round trip) and headed back early. We were super tired and slept easily.

Due to us not taking two nights for Zion (and doing it all in one stretch), we decided to head to Las Vegas, our final destination. Rock climbing in Red Rocks Canyon had a very high reputation for great climbing and I was excited to check it out.




We climbed in a small area called ‘The Black Corridor’. It was a narrow canyon that had ample shade relative to the rest of the areas. It took us a while to find initially; and I wasted a ton of energy on the approach (it should have only taken about 10 minutes but instead took 40).

Unfortunately there aren’t any climbing photos simply because Amanda cannot belay me AND take photos.
That climbing was AWESOME. The rock was interesting; almost like hard sandstone. There were big huecos in the rock as well (giant holes) that allowed for some very interesting moves. My favorite climb of the trip came here and it was essentially gym climbing- big moves and decent holds.
We stayed on the strip for the next 3 nights due to our camping spot (Red Rocks Campground) being closed for the summer. I can only imagine it due to the heat.



We climbed again the next day and continued in the Black Corridor. We made the mistake of starting too late in the day (10am) and it got very hot.

Overall, I loved Vegas climbing and I will return. I’d love to try some of the big trad multipitch once I learn one day. We had some fun on the strip and then drove home in a straight shot, which took about 24 hours (we stopped for a few hours at a rest stop to sleep).

I was happy with the way this trip went. Other than the car overheating and us having to spend a bit of extra money in some spots, it was excellent. The weather all around was good, the climbing was great, and the gear all held up.

Very cool Orange.

You actually might be able to help. I'm in the states in August, and I've basically got a week to kill between hanging with some mates in Denver and going to Outside Lands in SF. I'm looking at doing something West Coast around that area to minimize the amount of time I'm flying around. Was hoping to find some 2-4 day tour through any of the national parks. FWIW I'm going to be travelling by myself for that week so kinda needs to be an organized tour, preferably one aimed at young people (contiki, trekamerica etc). Both of those are booked out during that time unfortunately.

Any recommendations on tour companies and also places to go? Yosemite seems easiest

sorry man, I missed this.

I've never actually done a company, just all on my own. IMO, you can do a great trip on your own as long as you're willing to rent a car.

I would say that Yosemite is pretty cool. If you rent a car, Sequoia and Kings Canyon national parks are only a few hours away from Yosemite. You can hit all three of those big parks within a few days and do plenty of camping/hiking/whatever. All of them are worth seeing IMO. I especially enjoy Mineral King at Sequoia National Park:



There is a lot to see near the Denver area as well. Many good parks are pretty close by (Estes/Rocky Mountain National Park).

PM me if you have any questions. Another great person to ask would be BGnight. He's very well acquainted with that area and has done a ton of backcountry snow boarding/hiking/climbing/etc.
