I climb a desert mountain

Walking around the desert of Utah, in the distance, I saw a towering rock formation - and decided to climb it.

Climbing a desert mountain

It was a bit sketchy, not gonna lie. I first had to pass a barbed wire fence, then dodge the rattlesnake holes.

Then it was a long scramble up a crumbling rock slide and rocky outcroppings, climbing with one hand while the other hand filmed.

Once reaching the top, it wasn't over yet.

Going down was worse. A hand hold and a foothold broke, I almost fell down.

Then getting down the rock slide was a struggle at first, I even stumbled once or twice, nearly sending me face down the desert cliff.

But luckily I discovered a new technique of sliding down on my butt like a weak chicken.

Using this technique I slide down the desert mountain slope at record speeds, reaching the bottom safely in no time.

I highly recommend this means of transport, it was the highlight of my day - so fun.
