| WML | long day! Date Climbed: Nov 21, 2009 | |
| Wound up pitching out the gully below with a buddy who hadn't climbed trad prior as a warm-up, got a few pitches up, then had to descend due to lack of daylight (yay winter climbing!). Rappelled Johnny Vegas (double-rope raps, not recommended in the dark...just sayin.) | |

| J Fox | A great into to Red Rocks  Date Climbed: Jun 6, 2009 | |
| PArt 2 of my first day climbing at Red Rocks. Climbed with dervin, dale and ryan. A sweet climb, linked with Johnny Vegas. We got rained on while rapping off but made it down fine even with 4 people sharing some pretty tight rap stations. | |

| Great climb. Not too hot, but really windy. We bailed on the fourth pitch...Alongside Johnny Vegas this was my first longish trad route. Great time. | |

| Another quiet climb on Solar Slab wall with Jascha. Combined with Johnny Vegas. Amazingly, no other parties the whole day. Bailed at the pitch after the last rap as the sun went behind Mt Wilson and the frigid winter winds picked up. Rope snags necessitated a few exposed solos, but we made it down safely. | |

| Climbed this in spring 2000, 2001, and 2002. This is one of my favorite routes at Red Rocks. The first time we made the mistake of "finishing the route" and descending the gully. | |

| Bonesaw | Long and Fun! Date Climbed: Mar 15, 2008 | |
| Climbed this with my fiance and had a blast! Climbed Solar Slab Gully at night and bivied on the terrace in an effort to avoid crowds. Got a somewhat early start on Solar Slab. Fun climb, pretty straight-forward. Rope got stuck once on the rap descent, but luckily was able to lead on the other rope and retrieve it. Walk back to car (on 159) seemed very long. | |

| The Chief | Fun and Smooth... Date Climbed: May 29, 1992 | |
| Fun and positive. The entire line is straight forward with great pro. An area Classic. A great intro "Long" route for the RR's. Have taken many first time visitors up this line in prep for longer and tougher RR routes. A must do! | |

| Woke 5:50, on the trail by 7:00, made easy work of the gully, was going to rap off with couple behind us but they bailed on the 3rd pitch, got slightly off-route on fourth pitch, topped out around 5:30. 9 hours, 8 Rapps, 5 ahh shit moments, 4 route finding errors, 3 bail binners, 2 hole's in my partners pants, and one droped flashlite later we were back in camp (2:30am). | |

| sergio | Solar Slab multi-pitch Date Climbed: Apr 2, 2007 | |
| Climbed with Dave via the Solar Slab gully. We run short on time and water and only completed the third pitch. We alternated leading although Dave was better suited for the most demanding ones. A super fun climb although we will have to go back to finish the route. Overall, an awesome day. | |

| jtree | Solar Slab Epic | |
| Climbed with a group of four and we bagged the summit near dusk in high winds and with only two headlamps. Prior knowledge of the descent would have been helpful, but as it was we managed to get down safely, but it took us several hours. | |
