Second year in a row
Second year in a row Dow's beta was awesome and invaluable. Perfect weather, no crowds at all (mid-week in early Feb? duh.), and no lines at any of the routes we wanted to do. Yearly tradition? Yup.
My first ever sport climbing here. I'll stick to trad tho. Great bit of diversity and great weather for February. Every day was in the 60's or 70's. I like the long moderates.
Great times cragging with Marty and Bruce and EMily's wedding party.
Fantastic place to return to 12 years later. hope to go back.
super topo is weak for graggni but good for longer classics. new guidebook is the way to go.

4 full days
Spent four days in Calico basin area. Beautiful weather. Was fun to climb on such different rock.
The climbing at Red Rocks is excellent and beautiful!

The highlight of my trip to Vegas!
Needed to get out of Vegas for a day so we headed out to Red Rock and spent the day scrambling and bouldering around. Had a great time! Will have to come prepared next time with climbing gear.
