This climb is one on my list to get on too. That, Sour Mash and Rock Warrior too.
When and if I ever get to go back to RR.

we'll probably end up on sour mash due to wild turkey's popularity.

I've heard it's got a bit of everything and possibly as good as DOWT.

that's what I hear, too. The only downside is that sour mash isn't as long.

yup, then heading to the Black Canyon. I'm a bit tired right now after a difficult pair of flights that left me staying the night unexpectedly in Chicago, but I'll be ready to go as soon as we touch down tomorrow night.

damn - a 70m rope might not be good enough to descend off either Wild Turkeys or Sour Mash.
(nor the stand-by Crimson Chrysalis)

I thought it was about the same since most people bail at DOWT's 7th pitch? That's what we did, anyway.
I'm really not sold on Red Rocks as a climbing destination. I'm going to hit a few more classics there and see how I feel.

everything i've read suggests going straight to the top because there are some stellar pitches after P7.
wow - what classics haven't you done? Birdland, Crimson Chrysalis, Dark Shadows? <-- those are just a few:
Olive Oil was a fun route and so was Black Magic. I'm guessing Epi isn't going to disappoint and niether will Frogland. I'm hoping that neither DOWT and / or Sour Mash will be right up there, too (if a 70m works on rap)
I've heard great things about Johnny Vegas, Tunnel Vision, Solar Slabs (also heard SS wasn't that great, too). I can't stand the desert, but I keep wanting to go back for more and more...
(the easy sport stuff sucks, but I can't vouch for the hard sport stuff. I don't really go there for the sport, but because routes are so long, and approaches and descents are so committing, there tends to be one "rest" day)

I like sandstone, I like multipitch, I like the desert, but for some reason Red Rock really doesn't grab me. I'm planning on hitting epinephrine and lev 29, the exalted classics, and, if I still don't dig the area, I'm just not making an effort to go to a place I feel "meh" about in the future. I guess I should do that soon though, the place is going to be too hot pretty soon!
I don't know, places like J Tree, Yosemite, Cochise, Indian Creek... they all just appeal to me for some unknown factor. Not saying RR isn't a good area, I just don't have a personal draw to it.
