a deceiving route with very little beta within the guide books.

Learning to trust my feet.

First time out this spring and feelin weak! Love this traverse as it changes with the weather and tide changes the sand level below the boulder

Dor is a climber that I met out @ stinson bouldring bear foot. great climber with very good technique would have loved to see him really crank with shoes and a pad below him. Oh well next time

buffalo wall is a sacred place of sorts due to it remote location in the canyon. You gotta really want to get there to see it and the likely hood of seeing another person is slim

Couldn't have have had a nicer day to be out climbing.

Interesting 5.8- route, good TR anchors available at top.

Easy little top rop area. Very hard to build set up a solid three point anchor. But solid stone and interesting little problems.

The view from the northren formationof Mt. Tam. The climbing isn't super hard but was fun as it is close to home.

looking North from Wrights lake towards mount Price. Headed to grouse lake @ 8200' elevation

Every time I'm going up wrights road and am able to look west, I see climbing to my hearts content. I've yet to get a partner back in to explore these climbs.

the spire is one of the places people whom are tired of dealing with the crowds @ lovers leap retreat to.

Greg heading out for a some craig to climb.

A hottie at the 07 Red Rock Rendezvous slackling

My Son Aiden decides to try to take down the big guys and eat more pancakes than 8 other competitors. Yeah he didn't do it, but he ended up being the youngest competitor at the table. Finished off 5 cakes. Not bad for a 9 year old.

First time that my wife has tried to slack line. And she likes it.

Mom giving a steady hand to one of the boys

Malcom leading a route during his clinic. Showing how to use cams and more importantly how to passive gear and his favorite tricam

crappy place to the left of tonto to rap off where there are a few slings with a ring set up on a little tree. Solid enough, however it is a rope eater if not careful

Holly leading tonto for the redpoint. Having a good time.

Just getting ready to top out on tonto. Fun climb, had a lot of rope drag due to the fact I forgot to set a long sling on one of my pro. Learned from my mistake at least for the time being

Holly after following up tonto the first of two time up a fun route.

Aiden, climbing on the backside of the comp wall, Sunday morning out @ festival evnt area.

My youngest son pulling out @ the festival events for Red Rocks Redeveouz 07. Needless to say he & his bro really impressed all the older participants with their natural ability.

Shot this picture while out with my family checking out how much snow Red Rocks got today. Got up to the high vista and looked back over to calico and was in awe. Used my Olympus POS D-535 3.2 mega pixel to shoot this. Once in a while I get lucky and take a decent photo with it.

One of the classic boulders in a field of lots of boulder problems. This is one hell of an offwidth & chimney problems. Try the offwidth traverse. Also on the south side the layback problem is pretty nice.

Hope this helps with location of this short 50' route. I loved taking newbies out to this area for their 1st time out doors.

Shot this from the road, as a means to help identify the area. Once you know where ragged edges route is. It stand out prominatly and it helps with defining the location of other routes in area.

I couldn't remember the name of this tower. Had to go and look it up in Roxanna's guide book - The Owl. Has two known routes on it. the first "the Owl" rated 5.8. The second unknown name but rated 5.10d. Both of which are rated two stars. Still worth checking out when in the area.

A view from one side of the cube.

Was out working and saw the weather coming in over Red Rocks. I tried to capture the view, although I don't think that it really does it justice.

This is one pf my favorite boulders to pull on, as it includes a couple of off width moves. I personally love the north face with lots of small crimps and side pulls with feet smears. route is about 24' tall with a poor landing, but killa fun

Shot while coming down trail from Red Springs area. Couldn't have been a better day for the 3rd of November,06

This is such a stiking formation, with a very nasty reputation. I want to jump on this however have been told that the upper holds are dirty or have broken off. Thus your last move is a dyno off small crimps. Well enough about beta, as I haven't been able to actually pull on the route and its all here say until the deed is done.

Pulled out part on my climbing rack and had it spred so that I could get gear together for a rute I was planning on doing the next morning. And though it was an oportune time to a take a picture of the gear.

route called Peaches, on an amazingly cool (85 degree) evening. What A GREAT ROUTE on a awesome evening in the middle of summer. Can't get much better on a one pitch wonder. Unfortunately all I had was my camera phone and I knew the light wasn't going to help me out as the cliff faces east and I was out climbing in the early evening.

I am interested in climbing these walls as they have beautiful striations and exposure that really peak my interest. Besides they are high up in elevation being that they are near to the tallest peak in yosemite.

Pulling a fun route that I was introduced to by Vera Schult-Pelkum @ RRR clinic 06.

This was Monies 1st bouldering trip out side and first time using a heel hook. She learned quickly to expect the blood offering to the rock god when climbing real rock.

The rach here is up and over to a jug two feet from the lip of the overhang. You gotta use your feet and do it in dyno sorta move. Very fun!!!

My bouldering partner Monie, had struggled all day with this problem. I threatened to document failure in motion for her and funny how she nailed the route. Good times in cool weather

I love this boulder, it has such a variety of problems in a boulder and difficulty can change so greatly with the weather and tide.

This was Monie's 2nd time outside climbing. What a trooper, and she really had fun pull'n hard on what ever route I laid out for us to climb.

Phote taken from the saddle going to Modrate Mecca. I just loved to red hues in the late afternoon sun.

My wife insisted on bring her fog dog (shitsu) out to the crag. The funny thing was that she'd just given him a bath and by the time we were tired of bouldering, his fur was no longer white but stained shades of red. Hey I have to admit he loved being out with the family. He's still a fog dog though

Unfortunately he forgot his shoes and has out grown his climbing shoes. Dad is the process of ordering him a new pair of Sportiva - Fuegos.

Lj is one of the neighborhood kids that my kids play with and has lived in Las Vegas for 5 years and had never been to Red Rocks. He had never been climbing either, and he loved it as well as did his sister. We were begged to bring them along again when we go out again.
