That's awesome Buff, I like it. Somebody's been watching to many commercials I'd say...

I see you have climbed at Red Rocks. Hell, I helped load a fellow up that had a minor fracture that was at the base of a climb a ten minute walk from the road. Still pics only, no video so fail on his part.

I started cracking up as soon as I started reading Buff's post...I could hear the narrator's voice reading it. Well played.

Pretty sure that's one of the 5.9ish sections on the south pillar, but I could be wrong. Either way, the Stetind is not really a mountain you climb if you're in the habit of placing two pieces every time you encounter a hard move. It's more like a "don't fall" mountain. Not a good place to break a leg. He was lucky the weather held out long enough to get a rescue.

Guideline #1: Don't be a jerk.
