Yeah... I don't think that approaching grid is going to advance much in the near future.

Thanks for the bump all, and the great shots!
Man, I wanna go climbing...this doctor imposed no climbing stuff really sucks. Been keeping really busy with SAR stuff the last few weeks though so that helps make up for it.
Keep up the awesome shots, please!

This is part of an email Rick Sylvester posted to me the other day after I mentioned going to visit CosmicCragsman/Tripod--
The reason I love climbing and mountaineering, rock and mountains is that just when you think you've experienced everything, and feel that way even though by then you should know better, you encounter something new. Crystal Crag's top was an example of that.
Another was Dark Secrets, a popular itinerary. Something like 2 or 3 pitches up, following a corner crack but with plentiful face holds, I realized the rock was pure bronze in color. Now I'd experienced the black outer hard, and slippery as ice or glass, veneer on Wingate sandstone before. But bronze! I mean it was like the stuff you dip baby shoes in and hang from your car's rearview mirror.
So if you get on this route you have that to look forward to. And no one had ever mentioned that to me either re. Red Rocks. I don't know if there's more or that route's an anomaly, but enjoy.--RS
After viewing these pix I see what he's seen, I think.
Travis and Christina, have a good holiday. You too Dwain.

I have asked this before, but does anyone know about the splitter crack several hundred feet long that is above and a couple hundred feet to the left at the top of Lotta Balls? I can see that it has been climbed, and just curious about the grade and any other info. Looks very tasty, and its not in any of the guidebooks.

Yes, Kick in the Balls, that must be the climb. Thank you. Looks like a great climb, and hearing about the loose blocks, interesting..

Nice shots WML! Thanks for sharing. Hoping to get out Saturday and resume trad climbing finally. Been on the sidelines too long.
I can't do the hard stuff, but I think Chips N Salsa has my name on it this weekend.

Ahhhhhhhhhhh yes, I love red rocks, a great place to climb on gear & lose all your crack technique. Amenities, weather, bouldering, multipitch, sport, 10 lifetimes of rock. Yep, one of my favorite areas.
