Show Russell Jacobs 19 March 2010 was a project. And I. . .it was a project that I knew that was, without a huge amount of effort, that it would be accomplished. And so, the next one is, uh ... happened in the next year, 1989. The Titan. The Titan is a formation that's contiguous and part of the Fisher Towers. The Fisher Towers are located twenty miles east of Moab, uh, just off the Colorado River. And I had attempted this in previous years, prior to 1989. Um, one gentleman I recall, and I don't know how I met this fellow, and he was more enthused about climbing The Titan than I was at the time. Um, he was a very funny individual. I don't know how I met him. I just, to this day, can't figure out how I met him, but he had me meet him somewhere down on State Street, where I think I left my Volkswagen or my truck or whatever I was driving. He decided that he would drive. But he was always ... he was late. You know, and I thought, you know, I just thought, well, what have I got myself into? And he finally made it, and he's a bit disheveled. He's very ... not. .. didn't seem to be very prepared, sort of nonchalant. Um, but. .. so we ended up driving all the way out to a place called ... the turnoff was Cisco, which is ... you basically go out Highway 70 past the normal entrance to Moab. Uh, which is, I don't know ... I don't know if it really saves any time by going that way ... or mileage. It probably saves a little bit of time, 'cause you're on 70, as opposed to going in to .. . you almost go into Moab. You cross the bridge, and then you go east. But anyway, that's how we got there is the Cisco exit, off of 70, 1-70, going south-southwest, to the Fisher Towers, which is a turnoff of, I think, it's Highway 20, um, that runs fronts along the windy Colorado River. And you can see these formations quite a ways away. And they're quite picturesque in their own right. And they're often shown on certain programs on PBS or KUED or. .. but the Titan stands out. And it's the highest, and it's 11 |
