Mike & Travis, i'm not sure all of us are heading to Brownstone tomorrow. Maybe check in at the group camp in the am to see what the different crews have decided.

Not enough signal for pics tonight. I'll get some done and put em up tomorrow.
You are going to have a great time! We love Red Rocks.
Thanks Joe! Sweet Pics! I love it here too. Means a lot to get back here, since at one point i thought i might never walk again..
What do you mean, maybe travis! Lol
What a nice thread and I got a lot of info out of it. If Mike didn't make it clear: it's pretty much pissing down rain here in the PNW(PSW if you're Canad). I'm trying Vantage tomorrow, but it's been a long time since I've climbed on that stuff.
Thanks Darwin! Good luck at Vantage bro!
Mike, just get your green card already. Ha.
Lol.. I know right! Naw.. You need a bro with the hook-ups in Whis!

Hey Phylp! I'm staying here and Travis is picking me up, so we'll figure something out.. Weather looks kinda iffy for multi..
Thanks for the ride tonight Weston!!

The wife and I spent a couple hours hanging out with the guys tonight, good times. The chance of rain has gone from 10% to 50% and is now at 20%...translation is, we will see how it looks when we get there.
See y'all in the morning at 830. Even if it stays dry it's going to be super windy, so I may decide on some single pitch instead.

Flying out of Bellingham
Dmt style sea of clouds
Cool cloud texture!
Sunset flying into Vegas.
City of lights
Weston was kind enough to drop me off at the site.
Jim, Paul and Moose hanging in the van.
Paul was kind enough to feed me since i got dropped off straight from the airport with no chance to go shopping..
Thanks Paul!
Travis and i went out to Brass wall this morning with the gang, but we didn't like how wet the ground was so we're gonna go check out some limestone.

Good man, Weston.
I hope those ghouls in the van don't eat your liver, Mike.

Very cool to follow this climbing trip! I found that limestone near Vegas quite sharp and pointy. Got to be careful not to cut yourself, some places you touch it in places and it slashes ya. Kind of gnarly.

I was wondering about that when I visited you at the campground this morning. As I was leaving, I saw the cloud buildup above RR
I wonder if the group got rained on. My body barometer from my injuries sure felt like it was going to rain.
It rained that morning, and the ground was muddy when we were walking in. Travis wasn't willing to risk snapping off some holds in case they were brittle.
Thanks Dan!

I know right!!! Scary looking! ;)

I hear that! I knicked myself a few times.. Nothing major though.
I cut my left ankle again.... But i felt it this time! More sensation all the time! I love it!
Thanks Ron! It's been fun. A little cold and moist, but nothing we couldn't work around..
We got a little moisture and a lot of wind overnight
Burchey and Mark enjoying a little morning coffee.
Desert clouds and rock.
Burchey was kind enough to give me a Banana since i had not yet had a chance to go shopping yet. Apparently the black mamba shares his sense of humor....
The crew getting ready for the day
Cosmic showed up for a visit
Rainbow Mountain
Looking back at Blue Diamond
WML on Mushroom People 10d
Travis wasn't feeling it because the ground was still wet, so we peaced out and went to Lone Mountain instead.
Cool varnish on a boulder.
Suburbia crag
I led "J" route. A 5.7 which was fun, but i felt like i was going to deck before i got to the third bolt. I wasn't going to fall, but i was pretty stoked to get there...
We did a couple more routes, and got hungry, so we peaced out and went to the grocery store to get some bbq'ables.
Sunset on the way back to camp was amazing!

Keep dreaming. Everyone knows Big Mike doesn't post on this forum.
I've heard he exists but no one has ever seen him. It's all a locker & cosmic photoshop fest.

Lol! I'm sorry missed you John! Facelift is kinda spread out like that.. I'll make a point of it next time I'm in California.

Yo Mike, got any more fotos???
Yes. Lots. I'm trying to get all 1200 of them imported into lightroom in an organized manor. I'm almost done. Then i can start processing.
