cool route too though we only did P1&2. I also found the start to be fairly well protected (& there's always that yucca plant at base to castrate... errrr I mean break your fall otherwise......NOT!! :). I suspect the start is easier for tall folk...
Great page Dow - going thru. your photos now. Will add in our 1 or 2 shots. Cheers!

Re: great page!
thanks Radek....went ahead and bought that #3 Camp ball nut after that though just because I could not readily find some off sets and used it on Sensuous Mortician the first day I had it out. I like it. Can trust it a few times at Red Rocks probably...agree it has to be some bomber rock though. Enjoyed Frigid Air (thanks for the great notes as always), that was a tough move or two on that last 5.9....I pulled the off width and my partner got that pitch....I think it would have been a challenging lead if I had it....broke my rules and did re-do's of Crimson and Epinephrine this past week....they go so much faster the 2nd go around....this time I linked those last two pitches on Crimson...worked like a charm, but I did run it out to avoid rope drag...was real good weather this past week, and really nice continuing this week...heading to Moab Sat night...cheers
