A classic hand crack - I just need to find something of similar consistency in the Rockies! Mike T on photography, luke_flowers on belay.

Its very thin hands than it has one solid hand than large hands. I thought the tough part was pulling the edge at the top.

We were exploring Red Rocks and looking for Gila Monsters.

Perfect hand jam placement on Atman 5.10. See more photos at www.cruxphoto.com.

I met up with Camhead and Stephanie in Red Rocks to climb some beautiful rock. Here's Paul leading up Atman.

I remember the first time I went to Red Rocks (as a new climber) and tried to follow up Atman without much success. It was exhilirating to see the route again, and this time to lead up it cleanly. Here I'm clipping high, just below the wide section.

Jamming feet high on Atman... this route is fabulous! It starts with thin hands, but quickly becomes nice hand jams. At the top it gets wide (I used a couple arm bars) with jugs for the last move. Stellar route!

Some of the most beautiful rock at Red Rocks.

A rare shot of Atman with no one on it. This classic (albeit short) route is well worth the trek, and while you're there, Yin and Yang is also worth a go!

micah giving it another go on this beautiful crack.

Christina leading Yin and Yang Crack. Beautiful route, strong climber.

Another shot of Christina sending Yin and Yang at Red Rocks.

Took this photo at Yin and Yang today- someone placed 23 of these bolts at this crag sometime recently. They are, from what i can tell, galvanized eye bolts rated to about 1200lbs and installed with liquid nails- not even remotely safe to climb on.

Short but sweet - this climb is rad.

I know, another photo of a much photographed route....but it's so fun.
