| cp0915 | Route Climbed: Black Velvet Canyon Date Climbed: Dec 24, 2004 & Nov 19, 2005  | |
| Dec 24, 2004 - Solo'd this nice class 4 route. Cool hidden tunnel near the summit. Seemed like a rather long route but the roundtrip was only 5 hours. Nov 19, 2005 - After doing The Monument & Hidden Peak with Matthew, we headed over and tagged this one. | |

| poorboy44 | Route Climbed: Epinephrine Date Climbed: 2001 | |
| I think it was in November. It was really cold! With a bit of simuling you can do it in 12 pitches. | |

| Eric Tipton | Route Climbed: "Epinephrine" V 5.9 Date Climbed: April, 2002 | |
| Dave Honeywell and I climbed this classic Red Rocks route on a cold spring weekend. The weather never did turn nasty but we had the entire Black Velvet canyon to ourselves and the sky was clear by noon. What a classic route, it has some of the finest chimney pitches I've ever done. We climbed the route in 12 pitches using a 60 meter rope. This route goes to the top! Walked out in the dark. | ||

| Josh | Route Climbed: Epinephrine (5.9, IV/V) Date Climbed: Lots | |
| Epinephrine is probably my favorite climb anywhere. I've done it twice on a rope, and six times free-solo. My best time is 1 hour and 6 minutes from the base of the climb to the end of the technical difficulties (end of the 18th pitch in Swain's guidebook). | |
