I'm pretty sure I saw that bolt out at the right end of the roof in the fall while walking by, but I haven't been there since.

Saw 3 or 4 people hanging out on Wrist Twister from the parking lot today. One guy was either a really fast aid climber, or....

Met up with the elusive HarryHotDog tonight, at a tiki bar just off the strip.
Also pictured are Vegasclimber (Travis) and his lovely fiancé Christina. It was a lovely night enjoyed by all parties. Hope to get out with Harry on Sunday!

Marc-Andre and his friend Luke are working on a free variation of Wrist Twister which joins the upper section of Cerebrus.

This thread needs a bump. One of my climbing partners finally got a decent camera, so here are some shots from a few weeks ago in the Bluffs.
Byron on...? You tell me.
Yours truly, my beautiful woman keeping me off the deck. I never noticed how tight she keeps the rope, ha ha.

I miss the sun. Waiting for the dry in Squish seems almost strenuous sometimes, especially if you don't spend winters gliding around the snow on fibreglass or strapping knives to your feet and hands while hoping they don't cut your rope.
I got hopeful we'd have a nice spring after a great January, but here we are. I've turned to drink, I hope y'all are in better shape.

Sweet pics mark, first one appears to be the finger crack at clean starts.
Second one, I'm not sure,

You're right about Clean Starts, Luke. Surprised you didn't recognize the second one, as *somewhere* in this thread there's a pic of you on the same route with the same colour helmet giving out free tix to the gun show...
(I'm pretty sure it's you, anyhow, the angle's not ideal.)

Ya. It's tough when the thread author goes galavanting off too far flung climbing destinations... Thanks for the pix!!

Bumbling up candy-ass 5.8s at Red Rocks, that's where. It'll probably take him a full year to come to terms with Squamish climbing again. And he may have completely ruined his chances of ever climbing at Index.

Highly doubt that!! Sandstone is rad but granite is my first love. Index is a must also. As to the grades I've been climbing, well, you can't always get what you want... But at least I've been climbing 9 out of the last 11 days... Can you say that Dave??

I added the anchors under the roof and cleaned up the first pitch of the Terror; we also added a proper anchor to the end of the route. I was distracted by other projects and my partner took it over. The route goes at 11b/c by Finlayson and that bolt has sprouted since last summer, he cleaned the pitch and sent the same day.

Well, sure, I could say it, but it wouldn't be true. I think I got to the gym once, and might even go tonight. But I'll be bumbling my way up a bunch of candy-ass Red Rocks 5.5s and 5.6s in a couple of weeks, too.
When you do get down here this summer, let me know. I'd love to get out with you. As long as you're willing to hang with someone for whom Red Rocks 5.6 is now serious.

The route goes at 11b/c by Finlayson That's an unexpected surprise! I suspect that because it looks so fearsome, it's kept most suitors away.
