Sorry for the mad delay… as usual. Here is are some pics and vids from our trip to RR at the beginning of Jan. Red Rocks still has tons of potential, as made evident by the spree of hard FAs done by Pete Lowe and Paul Robinson. I scoped out a few gem lines in and around Calico Basin that have gone up recently that I was impressed by the looks of, and I can’t wait to return in a (slightly, at this point) stringer state to try some of them! As for the routes, there maybe a few cherries to be plucked still, but I think the majority of proud, long, striking lines have been sent. I am equally, if not more psyched for these though! Crystal Dawn, The Fortress, the routes in the jet stream wall and in black velvet canyon! Can’t wait for the Red Rock Rendezvous so I can go down early and try one or three of them! Hopefully I’ll make it down for a long weekend between now and then as well. Red Rocks never disappoints me in it’s beauty and it’s amount of rock, and this trip was no exception! Ok, the 1,500 foot rappel in the dark was a bit annoying, but built character! Enjoy the media and sorry again that I took me so long to post… my computer was lacking any music to string up with the video after it’s drive was wiped recently…
