Pat on an onsight of the very fun 4th pitch. March 2006

We walked past jeronimo and went to black dagger thinking it would be an easy tick,,, not...

fun funfun what a climb must do! great time blabla bla 40 characters I got it

This was a joyous moment amongst the 3 days I spent on my first aid solo (my second aid route).

This is my partner Bill atop the Ginger Butress after finishing up the Grade IV Ginger Cracks. We made the top just in time for the dropping sun to catch the rest of Red Rock Canyon and the surrounding hills perfectly. A great top out to a wonderfully diverse and enjoyable climb!

Getting out of the crack on pitch 1 of the Chrysalis

The best part of this route is when rapping down you get to yell "Rope on Geronimoooooo!" and then the rope gets stuck in about 15 different cracks/features and the crying/rope cutting begins.

Here I am just starting the lead of the second pitch on Geronimo. Just felt I had to make climbing "look" cool.

I shot this blurry picture looking down at the belay on the third pitch of Crimson Chrysalis. I wish I could recall what the climbing was like on this pitch but all just kind blurred together. Maybe a wide crack out left with some faces moves out right.. Sounds about right.

This shot was taken looking down from pitch 4 (or 5/) of CC. It is pretty much the only ledge on the whole so a good resting spot for the boys. We didn't top out as there were at least 3 parties in front of us and things were becoming a cluster f*ck. The climbing is fun although all the moves feel the same, not sure if I would do this route again as the crowds are nasty.

Last pitch of Crimson Chrysalis and we will be in the Sun...yeha MF let'z Rock. All the bolts looked good till this point. Now 1/4" bolts with smc hangers. it's all good !

So here we are, last pitch of Olive oil...Freezing our azzes off waiting, wondering when da heck we are going to get off diss rock.

Wendy (punkin) and I got an early start and made it to Crimson Chrysalis, which ascends the right-most edge of the mountain, first. Two other parties started up after us, but both bailed due to biting wind and impending rain. We summitted under a darkening sky amid high winds, and then raced the weather down the route and all the way back to the car. That was Day 1 of our Vegas trip. Photo by punkin.

late may,2003,114 degrees at 2 pm, this is about 10:00am,no sleep practically from the heat...sustained 11d tips jamming and stemming

The final bulge of the last pitch....proposed 12a..more like mid 11 I thought...that doesn't look that hard..uh huh.. right...

easiest 12a finish in the world...I actually feel quite relaxed...um huh..11c probably but still stinking strenous..especially in late May...
