Red Rocks!

So far my trip to the desert has been great. James and I just finished climbing Solar Slab. Solar Slab is an amazing 1200 vertical foot 5.6. It took us about 7 hours to do the 11 pitches of climbing, add the approach and descent and it was a little over 12 hours of being on the move. As you can guess I am pretty exausted!
We also climbed Geronimo on Monday the 26th, a 4 pitch 5.7. This was a great climb with really fun climbing!
Weather was pretty bad on Tuesday the 27th so we stuck to single pitch routes and climbed Straight Shooter 5.9 and a couple routes on Brass Wall. It was pretty amazing weather as it would snow for about 15 minutes then the sun would come out for a half hour and then it would snow again. Really weird!
I will update my trip reports as soon as I have time!




Here is James climbing on the 10th pitch of Solar Slab.
