<\/div>\nDay Two – clipping bolts at Panty Wall. Weather still beautiful. This was Julie’s second outdoor lead I think. Meanwhile, I was still running around in circles considering getting people to tie me down to a rock to prevent me from climbing (well I did go up a couple of easy climbs… but oh).<\/p>\n

<\/div>\nDay Three – Climbing Cat in the Hat<\/em>, a fun 200 metres of 5.6. This was Boer’s lead. If you look closely you can see the evil swooping birds flying past. We had the climb to ourselves – apparently this is unusual, and it’s more often like a Sunday picnic at the races. <\/p>\n Day Four – Walking in to Pine Creek Canyon, to climb Johnny Vegas<\/em> with Boer and Ben.<\/p>\n Welcome to Red Rocks, Nevada. Day One – clipping bolts in the Black Canyon.

\nBoer leading up Johnny Vegas<\/em>. We have discovered the rock on the climb leads a little to be desired. Ben describes it as ‘like climbing in a sandcastle’, and I can’t help but be reminded of the Grampians guide book, where a climb is described as being so hideous that you’d chew off your own arm to get away from it if you woke up next to it in the morning. Sure, the position was fantastic, but the rock was absolute rubbish.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
