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. :)

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. :o

 

It was a trip full of great memories (and two jackpots for my mom at the casino :tup: ).

 

Happy Birthday to me!
