Tried to get 42 problems at Horsetooth for my 42nd, ended up getting 50ish, mostly easy but man is that place fun with a lot of climbable rock. My second time bouldering in the area but the first was on some traversing stuff well below the lake. Spent my first day at Rotary Park and had a blast. Got there at 7 and there was no one there all morning. Went and picked up the family and went back and climbed several more problems. Rockies game to finish it off on the upper deck so we also climbed a lot of steps.

Look it's a flying Cosmic!
Nice exposure on this climb, and a ton of varied moves. Slab, positive holds, smearing, lieback - good stuff!
Cosmic did a great job of pathfinding a shortcut trail to the base, and I owe him for going up and getting the rope unstuck....next time it will be my turn.
Days like this are why I laugh at people who tease me for carrying a micro ascender on my OhSh#t biner.

Today?
Geronimo in Juniper Canyon, Red Rocks.
My darn rope got stuck after doing the last rap on the climb, so I had to climb the first pitch again to unstick it
I warned you Dwain to watch your ropes on the way down, but I know you had fun re-leading that pitch. :)
Here's my day. Peyote Power on Mescalito.

Nice shots Sergio!
And we were careful, sometimes poo poo occurs. The knot got hung up on the lip on that last rap. Plus the wind was looping the ropes on every single flake on the wall when we tossed them. All part of the adventure!
Those slings that are there are pretty faded, hopefully the next time they get replaced they will extend them a bit further, will make it easier.

Yesterday: 5/27 Indian Springs lower tier with friends from our climbing club; the Sierra Mountaineering Group. Nice weather (not too cold and the south facing climbs were all free of snow but there was still a lot of snow up there for this time of year). We practiced climbing in mountaineering boots, approach shoes and rock shoes, practiced belaying, rappelling, setup some anchors, placed cams, and just had a great time up there.
Funny (sort of) one of our party arrived later around noon. We could hear but couldn't see some trucks below us on the road. So when he arrives he sees what turned out to be fire trucks with lights on next to our van on the road. He looks up and sees all these firemen suited up so he then thinks oh crap! This isn't good and runs up to the upper tier (we were climbing on the lower tier and he didn't know that. So he gets up there and sees the firemen gathered in a circle then he runs up to them and says he's with a group of climbers and wants to know what happened (thinking the worst) and they turn to him and say ... we're up here doing some training ....
So he then descends to find us down below ... safe and sound.

Climbed some easy stuff today - BUT, I was OUTSIDE, it was a great day and I got to LEAD, which I've been itching to do lately. And did my first clusterf*ck lead 2 pitch route. Sport with bolted anchors, so I need to practice rope handling some more for sure!
Also TR'd a harder climb that was the most fun pitch o' the day.
Now I'm sitting at home happy listening to the rain outside.

My new ghetto trash wall. I got the sheet of plywood on sale at home depot in Carson City, and filled it with nothing I paid for, 'cept 25 cents or something from the thrift store (drilled broken bricks etc). I tried a couple of sit starts today.

First trip to the Grotto at Table Mountain. Miwuksurfer & I did some moderate hand-cracks, the AC Devil Dog double-arete route, and (struggled up) fun & tough finger cracks. We had the mountain to ourselves, and the temps were quite pleasant in the Grotto even though it was 95 in the surrounding area.
Somewhere early on ACDD--in the difficulties--my inner moron piped up with "holy s&^t this is tricky; I would hate to be LEADING this"; the reply from my inner slightly-less-of-a-moron, was "don't freak on me now, but we ARE leading this".
