First time at Eldorado Canyon, first pitch of the day, first time multi-pitch climbing, first time following a trad lead. I'm hooked.

Kathy, on Calypso, note sling on flake,<br>
This flake fell off last yr. 2005, this was climbed thousands of times, so you never know, luckily no one was on the route, think I was the 1st to do the route after it fell off.
