Southwest

After some amazing days on the snow, we decided to drive southwest. The goal was to get some pitches in at the Cathedral, St. George and hopefully do one or two multipitch routes in Red Rocks.

Well, we left Aspen and as soon as we got to St George, it started raining. We camped out and spent the night there, hoping weather would get better, but ... we decided to drive to Red Rocks, in search of sun and warmer temps.  Not lucky either.  Next day, we got to hike up to Potosi, a pretty cool cliff located about 30min drive from Red Rocks and 2hs hike up a steep hill. We got some climbs in, despite the chilly wind. This is a nice area with some nice routes.  

Following day, we got to do a beautifull multipitch route. 7 Pitches at a maximum of 6b.  Pure joy. 

After this, a rest day was in order. After taking a shower and getting some supplies, we drove back to St. George, hoping for better weather.  This time, we had better luck.  Nice temps and great people made the next 4 days amazing.  We got to climb at Cathedral and try some beautiful routes.  Climbed a bunch of 12´s and I was lucky enough to send a 13b/8a on the 3rd go.  Caro, climbed some great routes and got really close to red point her first 13a / 7c+.  We still had 2 more days of climbing left, but the bad weather settle in again and we decided it was time to drive back to Colorado.  Now we are in packing mode. Three more days and we are off to Europe.

Enjoy the pics and we´ll keep you post it about our Eurotour !!!!
