lancegranite Posted December 10, 2003 Share Posted December 10, 2003 (edited) Reading the fitness thread made me a little sad, We do love our home state. My wife and I are both Washington natives who have moved to Nevada. Regular folks can make an good day's wage here, there is world class rock climbing 5 minutes from our house and 24 hour anything-you-want. Having said that,I would like to invite you to come and enjoy Las Vegas... The sun is out and we are going cragging at 1:30 today... Just an afternoon session. You are welcome to come along...we'll bring the hot chocolate! Red Rock weather Edited December 10, 2003 by lancegranite Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

erik Posted December 10, 2003 Share Posted December 10, 2003 and i've only done two routes at red rox......lev and epi..i need to branch out! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lancegranite Posted December 10, 2003 Author Share Posted December 10, 2003 Good south facing climbing in the canyons and the Calico hills are going off! The nordwands are very cold right now. Why people would want to climb Epinephrine in the winter is beyond me. It's 0700, our hearty team approachs the base... The sun has slipped behind Wiskey pk. and the tempature dropped 10 degrees. Our brave crew stops, this must be it... heads craned back, bowels relieved. The book comes out, the line is clear. Too late to back out,only one question remains, The rope gets flaked out, Either you are a mover or a shaker, 300 feet of frozen chimneys... "ahh..care to block lead?... I'll trail the pack."

eric8 Posted December 10, 2003 Share Posted December 10, 2003 I'm heading down there over xmas break. Am I ignorant to think I'm going to climb anything in black velvet canyon this time of year? When I read highs in 40 that seems like perfect climbing wether to me or is it much colder than that in the shade? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lancegranite Posted December 10, 2003 Author Share Posted December 10, 2003 (edited) As my post suggests, anything in the shade can be very cold. Wind really is the party pooper here. A down coat and a pair of shorts, mittens and sunscreen. Red Rocks is intimidating at first, but once you feel at home... it's game on! Der Nordwands: Cloud Tower ...6 hrs of sun Rainbow wall Black Velvet Wall Dark Shadows area Anything east facing after 1:00 PM Good winter bets: Black Orphius ...warm,cold,warm Olive Oil ... crowded Windy peak ... uncrowded Levitation 29 area ...windy Chicken lips ... link with SS or BO for 17 pitch 5.10 Resolution arete... (shoot for 6 hrs on route) Birdlands..."new" Cat in the hat area... crowded Solar slab area ...crowded, but passable Or just go bouldering...
