K_Y_L_E Posted March 8, 2005 Share Posted March 8, 2005 Actually now that I think about it I probably squeezed through my first offwidth in 1972 Â I was squeezed out of my mom in 1977.

skyclimb Posted March 8, 2005 Share Posted March 8, 2005 1995-Castlewood Canyon State Park, Colorado. Danny Parker and I would have our moms drop us off in the canyon on weekends and afternoons, where we learned the ropes. At first, we were repellers...but slowely that gave way to climbing in our tennies. As such, we went from rapping off blue tubular webbing, that we would buy by the 100' segment, to an actual 60 meter dry bluewater rope After the first few years, our figure 8's became warn through, from the water falls we would descend and ascend, the cliffs we would squirm up, and the falls we would take. It was great adventure down there in castlewood canyon Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
