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.

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'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.
