Olive Oil
Juniper Canyon
 Sat, Feb 14
2004		 5.7 ***** Really fun, easy route. A few exposed sections. Only my second multi-pitch, and my first time leading on a multi-pitch. We did this in four pitches with some simul-climbing, and I… more
Dark Shadows
Pine Creek Canyon
 Sat, Feb 14
2004		 5.8 ***** Excellent route. Fairly long and very exposed for only three pitches. The last pitch, on very varnished sandstone, is particularly interesting. Several times my shoes squeaked on… more

2004		 IV 5.8+ ***** Incredibly beautiful route, incredible exposure on the last several pitches, and just a perfect day altogether. Definitely the high point (literally and figuratively) of my… more
Dream of Wild Turkeys
Black Velvet Canyon
 Thu, Apr 1
2004		 5.10a ***** Great route. We swapped leads the whole way, but even with the odd number of pitches, we each got to lead the same amount, because I accidentally combined pitches 5 and 6. That was… more
Sour Mash
Black Velvet Canyon
 Fri, Apr 2
2004		 5.10a ***** Excellent route. Again we swapped leads the whole way. I enjoyed this one a little more than Wild Turkeys, partly because I got some really fun leads: a small 5.8 roof on pitch 2,… more
Epinephrine
Black Velvet Canyon
 Sat, Apr 24
2004		 IV/V 5.9 ***** An all-time classic. A little bit of everything on this one: chimneying, crack, liebacking, and beautiful face climbing. We did the 4th-class alternative start to get past another… more
Varnishing Point
Pine Creek Canyon
 Fri, Nov 19
2004		 5.8 **** This was quite a fun one, albeit totally easy. I led the first (trivial) pitch, then Aaron led the second. We realized later that Aaron left one of my biners at the top, so we had… more
Topless Twins
Pine Creek Canyon
 Fri, Nov 19
2004		 5.9 **** This was a fantastic climb. Really awesome.
Varnishing Point
Pine Creek Canyon
 Fri, Nov 19
2004		 5.8 **** Climbed this one again, to rescue on of my biners that was left at the top. This time, I led the whole thing in one pitch.
The Black Orpheus
Oak Creek Canyon
 Sat, Nov 20
2004		 III 5.9+ **** Really nice, fairly long climb. The lower pitches are just okay, but the excellent upper pitches are well worth it. I got to lead the crux, which is definitely not 5.10a as the… more
Cat In The Hat
Pine Creek Canyon
 Sun, Jan 16
2005		 5.6 ***** Trip report coming soon...
Solar Slab Gully
Oak Creek Canyon
 Tue, Mar 29
2005		 5.3 *** We were going to do Johnny Vegas to get up to the base of Solar Slab, but of course there were crowds, so we did this instead. We simul-climbed the whole thing all at once. It's… more
Solar Slab
Oak Creek Canyon
 Tue, Mar 29
2005		 5.6 ***** This was really fun, and quite easy. We mostly simul-climbed, allowing us to link lots of pitches, so we did all but the last pitch in two pushes. Then Aaron led the last pitch,… more
Johnny Vegas
Oak Creek Canyon
 Wed, Mar 30
2005		 5.6 R ***** We were going to do Eagle Dance on this day, but it just didn't happen. After a LONG hike in and an equally long and much more HOT hike out, we decided to cruise up Johnny Vegas.… more
Geronimo
Juniper Canyon
 Thu, Mar 23
2006		 5.6 **** This was fun, but quite a traffic jam. When we reached the base, there were three other parties (one a party of three) ahead of us, and one more couple showed up just behind us.… more
Refried Brains
Black Velvet Canyon
 Fri, Mar 24
2006		 5.9 **** This was an excellent route. Aaron led pitches 1 and 3, and I led 2 and 4. Aaron absolutely loved pitch 3. Also, note that it really didn't require any wide gear or offwidth… more
Overhanging Hangover (Rock was wet)
Black Velvet Canyon
 Fri, Mar 24
2006		 5.10a **** After Refried Brains, we still had plenty of time left in the day, so we roped up to do this short one, a climb we'd been wanting to do ever since we rappelled over this giant roof… more
Wholesome Fullback
Black Velvet Canyon
 Sat, Mar 25
2006		 5.10a ***** Sweet sweet sweet! I led the first pitch of this, and even though it's only 5.10a, I might consider it one of my prouder onsights. This didn't feel like typical Red Rocks “soft”… more
Our Father (Last pitch only)
Black Velvet Canyon
 Sat, Mar 25
2006		 5.10d *** OH MY GOD THIS WAS GOOD! This might have been the single best pitch of crack climbing I've ever done anywhere. (Of course, I haven't been to Indian Creek yet....) We just top-roped… more
Sand Felipe
Black Velvet Canyon
 Sat, Mar 25
2006		 5.10a *** This was fun and fairly easy. There were holds everywhere. The biggest difficulty with it was being careful to grab ones that didn't look too fragile. The bolts are WAY too close… more

Black Velvet Canyon
 Sat, Mar 25
2006		 5.8- ***** Another traffic jam... this time cold and windy, and we didn't get down until after dark.
Prince of Darkness
Black Velvet Canyon
 Mon, Mar 27
2006		 5.10c ***** We've been wanting to climb this ever since our first trip to Red Rocks together, over two years ago. Every time we were going to do it, something came up. Finally, we got to… more
Overhanging Hangover
Black Velvet Canyon
 Mon, Mar 27
2006		 5.10a **** This climb, though short, is another one that we have been wanting to do for quite a while. Basically, ever since we rapped off of Sour Mash two years ago and saw a few bolts… more
