Triassic SandsClimbed Triassic for about the sixth time...short route, but does not get to be much better rock or that long of a splitter for Red Rock...double rack to #3 would serve most folks well. The crux at the beginning is just a commitment thing. If you think about in advance that you need to commit, you will be in the hand crack in short order. A warm up with Steph before working in collaboration on what might be the best route in Red Rock....very exciting stuff, rock, just as good....5.10-11 off width and tips. Will be one of the taller routes in all of Red Rock when it is done.

Triassic SandsClimbed with Dow on another cold day, LOL. Amazing route. One of my all time favorites. A few technical sections thrown in with steep climbing. A splitter hand crack with loads of face holds. Don't miss it.

Triassic SandsI have climbed this route a handful of time and will do it again. Although last time I climbed it there were three fixed pieces at the crux. Which for me, makes the climb a bit less astetic.
