Kibbles 'n bits
Dec 11, 2023 · Lead / Onsight. We meant to get on Man's Best Friend, but Peter got a little lost and we ended up on this route. I lead P2, and the first move to establish yourself by the first bolt is no joke. But when you find that foot, it's solid, and up you go on row after row of beautiful red rock. To approach, the hike to it is very fast. You can rappel from the top, but it's pretty sketchy getting to the chains.

Dec 10, 2023 · Lead / Onsight. No wonder this climb is so popular, the climbing is stellar. Lead P1, and it felt a lot like the Gunks; great holds, great pro, and great movement both up and over. Was a little nervous on the ground, but once I was moving, it was a cruise-fest. Have your #2 bring a camera; get some great shots of the belayer at a hanging belay at the top of P1. P2 was meh, and then Peter linked P3 and P4; that was some stellar climbing up a face that's better than you think, and then around a corner and up to some great chains. This is the way to get to Solar Slab!

Solar Slab
Dec 10, 2023 · 3 pitches. Lead / Onsight. By the time we started, looked like we wouldn't finish, but could all get in a pitch. Peter lead P1 smoothly, fun climb. AP lead P2 up that sloping corner; very heady, no protection for 40ft. I think it was super fun to climb that second pitch. We couldn't see what everyone described as P3, so I made it up as I went and got to the chains after moving from committing section to committing section. Went up the outside facing corner, stepped across under the room, and then pulled the crack until the chains. In retrospect, I think the start was correct, but when at the height of the intermediate chains, should have traversed to the right to them, and then gone up the hand crack after that. Personally, was a big win, overcoming unknown fear. Need to come back during a longer daylight time of year and get to the top!

Dec 9, 2023 · Lead / Onsight. Holy crap, this climb. We started out at 630am, and after making 4 wrong turns, finally got the base of the climb! It is stellar; Peter lead P1-P2 and that was some great, thin face climbing. I lead P3 (talk about long); stepped around the corner and off I went. Climbing wasn't hard, and it ate nuts, but not nearly as many as MP says it'll take (had a 50ft runout at one point). AP lead P4-5, and Peter topped us out on P6. They say P3 is the money pitch, but we agree P5 was the most interesting. Topped out, then descended by walking off (get to that second peak!). Another 3hrs back to the car; what a day!

Dec 8, 2023 · Lead / Onsight. First climb out at Red Rocks; fantastic! Peter lead the early pitches and I lead P3 and P4 before we rapped down. Great warmup!

Oct 28, 2023 · 1 pitch. Lead / Onsight. Did first pitch; simple and fun, nothing too hard. Ran a multipitch clinic at the top of the first pitch for Roxana and John, then rapped down.
