Eldorado Canyon
technically, a pink point!! :) hahaha. really enjoyed this one, muscle-y moves down low to easy terrain to the anchor (a little bit of a run from the last pieces to the anchor fyi, but solid rock and not difficult). Would like to do the rest of the pitches on this one, we did first pitch only.

Colorado National Monument
One of the last warm days - climbing into December. Holler if you think the first pitch was the hardest! Fun day with Pawel in the monument, it's pretty cool to have this place in our backyard.
Classic, novelty route by a man who fulfilled his dream to marry his love on the top of a tower by drilling rebar and cutting out steps into the rock to allow guests to be there

first route at the City, and boy did it get my blood pumping. The start is intense and is the crux and is kind of difficult to protect- but the upper face/crack climb is lower angle and easier and soo much fun! Thanks to Rosie and Pawel for a fun weekend!

The Chadbourne Crag
A fun alternative day with an adventurous twist; did this with Pawel before a friend's wedding. Great views of the Salt Lake valley. Couldn't give it easier than 5.5, but soloed this in my approach shoes, so likely easier than that. The descent was almost harder than the actual climbing ..

Did the first 7 pitches. Good route, but think it is a little over-hyped. 4th pitch (the wide crack) is tough for 10a unless you skirt around onto the face which makes it difficult to protect.

I think the best one of the easier trad leads at the wall. Except, for the spiders (and webs) all over it. Such a fun day climbing with Mark Rohr, even if I was late to work!

Cool. More of a face climb, but using the crack to protect.

The climbing is ok, but the 360-view is what makes it worthwhile. Cool top-out, climbed with Dave Glaze; what a day, with snakes, getting lost and bushwhacking!
