On Sunday, midday, I met with Jen & Jason for a trip to Boulder Canyon. We had selected Plotinus Wall for it’s Southern exposure, and it’s proliferation of sport climbs.
We climbed from about 1:30pm to 6:30pm (Thank goodness for the extra hour of daylight!). In the five hours, we managed to climb the following 4 routes (more…)
At 5:50 am on Saturday, I left to meet Dan F. and Mike at the Wooly Mammoth Parking Carpool lot in Morrison. Our destination was YMCA of the Rockies Snow Mountain Ranch. Mike was kind enough to drive his van, so we had plenty of room. I quickly dozed off for an hour of much needed zzzz.
We arrived at the ranch, and had some muffins (courtesy of Mike). Mine was pineapple coconut, yummy! We saw the building open up, as staff started to sweep the porches. I headed down for the rental gear. I was fitted with intermediate Soloman ski’s and boots for classic skiing. (more…)
On Sunday, I met Jen in Boulder Canyon and we climbed at Happy Hour Crag. It was my first time there, and Jen’s second. We climbed from about 1pm to about 5:30pm. The pullout had 5 cars when we arrived, but folks were scattered about, so it didn’t feel too crowded.
We did 4 routes. Jen put up her first non-bolted climb “I…Robot” (5.7), right on! Next up, Astroman! (more…)
