Finn on Potty Mouth
Little Cotton Wood Canyon Utah
Summer 2023
Within this intriguing photograph, we catch a glimpse of my adventurous friend as he takes on the challenging Potty Mouth (V2-3) route, an overhanging offwidth crack that posed a unique set of difficulties. The journey to reach this boulder was itself an adventure, as we grappled with the task of locating it. Our quest took us on a bit of a wild goose chase, wandering through the landscape to finally stumble upon the hidden gem. When we finally reached the boulder, we were confronted with a route that proved to be incredibly demanding. Its steep overhang and unconventional crack made it a formidable challenge. I personally found myself barely able to cling to the rock, managing just a move or two after numerous attempts. My friend, Finn, encountered similar struggles. Yet, despite the apparent adversity, the day was filled with camaraderie, laughter, and shared determination.
