| Free-soloed the full 14 pitch version of Dark Shadows to the summit of Mescalito. It took about an hour from the base to the summit. I downclimbed horrendous chimneys and bushes to the top of Cat in the Hat, then I downclimbed Cat in the Hat. | |

| Eric Tipton | Route Climbed: "Dark Shadows" Date Climbed: May 1999 | |
| My son Luke Tipton and I climbed this route to the top. We did the route in 11 pitches with a 200m rope. The decent is the crux, we headed west at least a 1/2 mile then north and found a rap route down a chimney system back to pine creek. The route was enjoyable ,getting the summit was great, climbing with my son was priceless. | ||

| What a great climb. A little easier than we expected after some other Red Rocks routes. The easier the rating, the more awkward the climbing seems to be! We actually beat most of the crowds to this popular route, but it was hard to rappel with all the people coming up. Didn't climb to the true summit, just rapped from the standard end of the climb. | |

| asmrz | Route Climbed: The complete Dark Shadows IV, 5.8, 14 pitches Date Climbed: April 25th, 1987 | |
| Robert Somoano and I climbed the 14 pitches of Dark Shadows with Robert leading the 1st pitch (10a-b) variation start, which is now called Sandstone Sandwich. We thoroughly enjoyed climbing over the roof at the start of the fifth pitch (5.8) and following the buttress up for some ten more pitches to the top of Mescalito. The complete 14 pitch climb (IV, 5.8) was one of the early classics at Red Rocks. If you can find the old Guide Books that describe the descent, try the complete route. You will be glad you did. | |

| A great little pyramid of rock. I've climbed a couple different routes on Mescalito many times -- always free solo. I've only visited the summit once, but it was worthwhile. | |
