Can't Post

My university's climbing club took a trip to Red Rocks just before RRR this year. There were thirteen of us (twelve by the end). I realize I'm posting this quite a bit later, but I've got nothing to do and figured you guys might like the videos!!



I've linked three videos below from the trip, but I'll give a bit of a break down here:


Day 1 (Sunday): MORNING SNOW!! We climbed at a SHARP limestone crag (lone mountain? or near lone mountain? whichever one has an area called the "gun club.")

Day 2 (Monday): We bouldered in Calico Basin. One girl broke her ankle by landing awkwardly on a poorly situated crashpad. Longest piggy-back ride I've ever given someone.

Day 3 (Tuesday): Drove from hospital to hospital helping the girl that broke her ankle. Eventually it's decided that she needs surgery. Some folks do a bit of bouldering before dusk. Mostly a rest day for everyone.

Day 4 (Wednesday): Girl flown home early morning for surgery. The remaining twelve climb at Sunny and Steep in Calico Basin for the day.

Day 5 (Thursday): Climbing at Panty Wall and Black Corridor.

Day 5 (Friday): Start the drive back home.

All the videos lost their widescreen format for youtube, so some stuff looks like off every now and then.

Video 1: http://youtube.com/watch?v=6MXUZhx-GOg

It's a trailer for the full video

Video 2: http://youtube.com/watch?v=Yrq0wCMvTxY

It's the full video, part I.

Video 3: http://youtube.com/watch?v=8-V6mgh5Q7Q

It's the full video, part II. The picture montage begins right here, if you didn't like Part I, watch this anyways, you might like it.

Enjoy!!

Edit: Made clicky.
