Red Rocks/Calico Hills
Kimberly, Kessler, Shaylee, Victor, and I went climbing at Red Rocks. I climbed A Route No One Has Ever Survived, Five-Thirteen Ex, Scent of the Ultraman, Mach 5, and The Play's the Thing. Victor climbed Thy Spirit of a Father Lost while Kessler also attempted it. Kessler and Victor also climbed When the Blood Burns.

Interesting area
Plenty crowded near trailheads on a temperate weekend, but there's so much to explore and a surprising amount of vegetation (manzanita?!)
several routes in Black Corridor -now tend to head for the more fun climbing further up the road!

One of five peaks today
Although I'd been up here before, this time we went for a different approach, hitting both Calico Peaks, Red Cap (both summits), New Peak, and some other un-named peak along the way.

Tuna and Chips
Spent most of the morning dinking around on Tuna and Chips Wall. Super fun. Discovered that Red Rock ratings are a bit stiffer than at my local crags (Exit 38, Vantage, etc.); adjusted my expectations of myself and had a blast.
sport climbing, trad climbing, bouldering, and laughing very hard

Impressive colours
Explored the Eastern side at Cowlick Crag and hiked about the southwestern end. Pretty neat boulders back there!

Very Nice Climbing
Did some sport climbing up in here. Very cool rock with good quality. We climbed in the Black Corridor and Hunter Thompson Dome. Did a few 5.9's and a few 5.10's. Amazing place in the spring time

fun place to fool around and explore
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

Scramble
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.

Every lump
I've been on top of every lump out there by a wide variety of routes, never more than class 4. It's a 15-minute drive from my house.

Calico Tank
I've climbed all over these hills over the years. Today some friends and I visited Calico Tank. Always a fun time out there.
Decided to get out of vegas for an afternoon. It was some fun scrambling to get to the top of the calico hills. It was about 105 degrees out si that was the only downfall but really cool area, definately wanna do some more hikin/climbin around Red Rocks.

Fun climbingThis place was the only thing that I found likeable about Las Vegas. I can't wait to go back.
