| jpmossy | fun place to fool around and explore  Date Climbed: Jul 15, 2006 | |
| scrambled around the various canyons and rocks while my parents did the loop drive. under the shadow of an approaching monsoon rain the whole time. cool place, easy to find "wilderness" and solitude 5 minutes away from a slew of tourists | |

| A fun tourist (read: shooting photos) scramble around the Calico Hills. Climbed a gully near the top, but was running out of daylight and left. | |

| sergio | My first 5.10D | |
| I wouldn't usually post about a sport climb here on SP, but yesterday I succeeded in my first 5.10D TR at the Black Corridor after "warming up" with a 5.7 lead and a couple of 5.10B on TR. A major personal accomplishment for a mediocre rock climber like me!! | |

| Did Calico Tanks as part of a weekend Trip to Vegas. After that visit - we decided that we must return to do more hiking in Red Rocks! Awesome area. | |

| Dave Daly | Route Climbed: Caliban (5.8+) Date Climbed: 07 Jan 06 | |
| As the guide book describes, it a bit contrived with lousy fixed pro (ground fall potential). I lead this route back in 1998 and remember getting psyched out on it but finishing it anyway. Still felt that way when Deb and I did it. Typically, Red Rocks ratings are soft. But this one I would give a solid 5.9....and fairly sustained on the bottom section (mostly technical). | |

| Dave and I did a couple of routes on this rock, most interesting was a burly 5.8+ with not much protection. Love that sandstone! | |

| My long time hiking buddy brought some co-workers for a big group to scramble and climb. A lot of fun because you can play it by ear in this area. A good introductory for those new to climbing. | |

| mt_daydream | Route Climbed: Physical Graffiti Date Climbed: March 13, 2005 | |
| Enjoyed a week of great climbing in Red Rocks. Physical Graffiti was a good starter after two hours of sleep following a 16-hr drive! A good route with some nice views. | |

| I really enjoyed the climbing on the second pitch. It's a long one, though, so make sure you save some gear for the top. The climbing eases after the first 40 feet or so, but still very enjoyable. | |
