Fun problem on the backside of the Smoothie boulder in RF. Powerful and technical with friendly rock.

Excellent problem! The big compression move was a lot more technical than powerful. The exit moves add some really fun complexity.

A really fun problem on the Hick boulder at Maxwell Falls. Begin on the left undercling/right crimp and power through the overhang to the crux at the finish.

Stand start matched on the side pull and cross left hand to the crimp. Worth doing if you're hanging out at the MM boulder.

Super fun. Started from a left hand crimp and a right hand sloping crimp that were both about head height. Pasted a right foot on and jumped to the obvious right hand pinch.

Excellent line on good rock.

Powerful start moves to a difficult mantle. Real fun.

Good times.

Sit start into "The Captain" (according to beta on MP). Spent some time trying to lead left into the pocket, and then did it pretty quickly when I lead right to the sloper. Super fun!

Flash (Doesn't happen often). Really fun moves on good patina.

Excellent problem! I tackled this one alone, and I was a bit gripped on the final slab moves. Really fun.

Fun if you're in the area.

A fun and physical compression line. It will eat your right hand.

An excellent line on good holds.

This is a fantastic problem with some tricky moves on slopers.

I wouldn't tell anyone to walk out there for this problem, but it was okay since we were in the area. Only 2 or 3 real moves.

Probably the best problem in this grade range that I've tried in Red Rocks. A classic anywhere.

A fun line that took a minute to figure out.

One of the best moderates in Red Rocks. If this thing were in Kraft...best not to think about it.

A little tricky.

A great line involving power and technique. Went down late in the 2nd session after a botched attempt early on. A hefty donation of skin and power.

Excellent movement on good holds. Hopefully that pinch feature stays attached to the rock.

Super fun problem on good rock.

Not the most aesthetic line, but the movement was super fun. A good power endurance problem.

Pretty fun, but not recommended for visiting climbers.

Super fun. Another Kelly Canyon problem that I'd never tried.

Super classic movement, and tall enough to be exciting. Definitely a tough one.

Way more fun than it looks like it will be.

Super fun

Super fun. Really tough.

1st in the Mars Roof...epic.

Never tried it before. Really fun.

Tricky Gloria's feet. Super fun climb.

Don't think I looked down once.

Maybe the best route of the trip.

Super fun!

Took the direct line via the sloper/crimp out left. Super fun movement and pretty consistent throughout. Long time coming.

Great climb on the left side of the prow feature in the trailer park. On par with the other classic 6s in the area.

Amazing climb! Super classic.

One tough(ish) move to an interesting top out.

Super fun and friendly. I'm surprised I hadn't tried this before.

Excellent line, and not as threatening as it appears to be from the ground. Botched the flash attempt up high.

Haha. A little silly, but pretty fun anyway.

Epic project (for me). Had to overcome a major mental block to finally snag the last hold. Major catharsis.

Good movement and an aesthetic line.

Short but fun.

Really fun line that doesn't see much traffic.

Mellows out significantly after the lip crux. A little dirty up high but the foot options are plentiful. Really fun.

The lip crux is roughly as difficult as the lip crux on Booze Pig, but the top out is significantly more challenging and committing than BP. A great problem with fun, dynamic movement.

Awesome! Really fun line.

Took longer than it should have (not unusual). Tried leading with the left hand for about an hour before I tried leading with the right hand. Much easier.

Tall and exciting.

Technique and power. Very fun problem.

Amazing problem!

Easily one of the top five problems I've ever done. This is about as much fun as you can have rock climbing. Super classic at any crag.

My first true epic. This problem had me on the ropes for ages before I was able to snag it.

Excellent Highball!

Technical and powerful. Great problem.

Great problem.
