Thanks for the nice TR. "painful" is not the first word I could find to describe your photos.

Just beautiful. Your pics make the climb look really appealing. Only pain I felt was at not being there right now, sinking jams.

Not sure I can do 10+ pitch 11+ crack but if I ever think I can this is the route I want to do. Has to be some of the best splitters in Red Rocks.
Anyone know of a good step up of Red Rocks long crack climbs that is in between this and Eppinephrine in grade. Maybe something in the mid ten range with a lot of crack.

Thanks,my pleasure!
Mike,for route recommendations,sorry I cant say in specific or compare,but jump on what looks good! This was my first time out at Red Rock. So I have noob knowledge of routes and of the area,but as far as my eyes could see through the canyons,there are numerous splitter routes and just amazing mesmerizing features on the walls for miles,endless amount of climbing.If you do get a chance to get on cloud tower,pitch 3,5 and 7 are like indian crack high quality,superb jamming.
