Sherri Posted November 8, 2007 Posted November 8, 2007 Trip: Red Rocks - 40 Years Young! Date: 11/2/2007 Trip Report: Talk about a birthday par-tay! My mom flew down from Pennsylvania to meet Kel and me in Vegas for a five-day climbing trip at Red Rocks to celebrate my turning the big 4-0. It was Kel's first time in Vegas, and my mom's first time rock-climbing. Sharing that awesome place and experience with the two most important people in my life was the best gift EVER. Me and my mom Kel at the base of Tonto(funtastic climb, despite a mini-epic when our rope got stuck when we pulled it ) My mom sending Fender Bender(5.6) at Sandstone Quarry Kel and I hanging out at Cannibal Crag My mom catching some rays at the base of Panty Wall On our last day Kel and I climbed Physical Graffiti, which was a blast, and then I went for a sunset trail run around the backside of Calico Basin and nearly tripped over a huge coyote lurking among the foilage at one of the springs back there. I'm not sure who was more suprised, but we both took off like shots in opposite directions. It was a trip full of great memories (and two jackpots for my mom at the casino ). Happy Birthday to me!
