Trying to warm up on a cold March day.

At Calico Basin in the late afternoon, Bryant sends into the sunset.

Bryant on Caustic at the beautiful Calico Basin. Nice climbing.

Pulling down on a crimp while attempting a red point of maneater.

The first bolt is HOW high?! Bryan clipping the first draw on Baseboy while Jeff, Ana, and Richard look on. Who's spotting?

Jp work'n caustic on cannibale crag. Nice to see him send it.

Bryan sends Caustic and was readying to belay JP's try.

Arguably the best climb of my first trip to Red Rock's. Definitely the best 11 I've ever been on. Jeff leading Caustic (11b). photo by novclimbs

John (JP) pulling on caustic as the last route of the day. Good climber on a burly route.

holly climbing a 5.8 trad route on canibal crag. Good time had by all at the crag.

Trav styles a redpoint after a very close flash attempt...dang, this kid is getting strong. March 2006

Trying to tick my first .12a out at Calico Basin. A fun but steep route that throws me off at the crux moves.

A very cool .11a hand/finger crack that arcs up and then right. One of my favorites.

.....moving through the crux of the route.

This a shot taken on the hike up to Cannibal Crag (visible on the left). The haze stood out well as the sun settled over Red Rocks.

Franziska leads "You Are What You Eat" at Cannibal Crag in Calico Basin, Red Rocks, Nevada. This is an easy lead with a crux off the ground. Lots of good gear, and you can lower off anchors for the climb to the left rather than top out if you want. I'm belaying, with the photo credit going to Scott Fohey.

Matt finally reaches the first bolt on Caustic 5.11b. This being our first time to Cannibal Crag (not to mention Red Rocks) we were just waiting for Sam I Am to rap down with a tray of green eggs and ham.

I found and scanned this old pic today. The route is Caustic 5.11B at Cannibal Crag. This picture was taken at about 6AM on a Sunday after an all night party effort. We never went to sleep, just hit the crags for a few laps. "Oh to be young!"

This was me last New Years at Red Rocks. What a trip! Ask me about my Canyon Ranch Spa story... a dirtbag's delight!
