Climbing Red Rocks

Minutes from the Strip, Miles from Civilization

Duncan and I planned a trip to Red Rocks (right outside of Las Vegas) and actually went within weeks. The trip was excellent, even though I didn't get much sleep (does anyone ever get any sleep in a town like that?). Day 1 was spent climbing Rising Moon, a really fun 3-pitch 5.5. Getting back to the car required canyoneering skills, perseverance, and 2 hours to go 2 miles. Day 2 was spent getting lost on what we thought was Cat in the Hat. Let me just say here, do NOT buy the guidebook by Todd Swain, it's crap. Day 3 we just played on a couple of sport routes in the Dark Corridor area (specifically Bonaire and Rebel Without a Pause) before I had to run off to catch my plane.
