| icypeak | Lots of fun!  Date Climbed: Dec 4, 2011 | |
| Great climb, lots of variety. On this day, we had the route to ourselves, which I understand is unheard of! Ok, it was a bit chilly, but no wind and beautiful sunshine. | |

| Absolutely gorgeous day for climbing! Pretty much had the place to ourselves, perfect temps and almost no wind. Pitches 4 and 6 are definitely the most fun (and the spiciest!). I ran it out in some places, but the climbing was mostly easy. | |

| Misha | My introduction to Red Rocks Date Climbed: Nov 28, 2009 | |
| My very first route in Red Rocks. Climbed with Etsuko, Maria and Mike as two parties of two. We started in early afternoon and finished rappeling shortly after dark. Great, easy and memorable climbing. Thankfully, we didn't have to wait for anyone | |

| Hyadventure | Way too Crowded | |
| The route was way too crowded. I was very bored waiting for other climbers... | |

| Dragger | Cold! Date Climbed: Jan 9, 2009 | |
| Woooo, it was a cold day. There were two parties ahead of us -- I think they both bailed out. I led the first pitch and it was fun but poor Craig froze at the base. Funky climbing! It had been probably 20 years since I've climbed at Red Rocks. Can't wait to go back and finish the route. | |

| jamesmh | Way too crowded Date Climbed: Nov 22, 2008 | |
| There are far too many people at this climb. We were at the trailhead at 7am and were still only able to get the first three pitches done before rapping down and hiking back to the car in the dark. We spent most of the day waiting for others. Looks like a great climb, so I hope to come back another day and finish it. | |

| Sam Page | 2x | |
| I climbed this twice between 2000 and 2002. It's a fun, moderate, well-protected route. | |

| Dow Williams | Cat in the Hat Date Climbed: Jan 1, 2008 | |
| Stacy and I were the first up Cat in the Hat for 2008. One other team on the route, but they bailed before the last pitch. A tad chilly I suppose. Little surprised why this route is so popular. Only 2 of the 6 were real pitches (we combined the first two as I assume most do) and I concur that they were real nice for the grade, 4 and 6. But I have been on much more aesthetic routes. The arete variation (can do this once you rap back down to the top of #4) is fully bolted now, feels like 5.10b. Radek's notes were excellent. His always trump any guide book. Speaking of, saw a new guide book is out for Red Rocks, a real thick one that is on REI's shelf, forget the author, but it did not look very special to me after I read a few routes I have climbed that were not previously published. Looks like she stuffed a ton of stuff in there, but not real quality particularly when you can pull this stuff off the net from "first handers" for free. Cheers. | |

| bighornmonkey | Great first trad route Date Climbed: Apr 1, 2006 | |
| Can be supercrowded but, as my first trad route in Red Rock, I really enjoyed it, especially the last pitch. I've climbed this route twice so far. | |

| sergio | Another great day Date Climbed: Apr 25, 2007 | |
| Another good climb, but way overrated as there is quite a bit of 4th class involved and very little exposure. The 4th and last pitch were probably the only ones that require some concentration. Anyway, thanks Dave for your company!! For sure it was better than another day at work.... | |
