Memorial Day

Happy Memorial Day.Yesterday we spent the afternoon visiting Tyler in Estes Park. After some burgers and brews we headed into the park. Tyler took us to a highball called the Hollowell Park Block. There were some pretty nice V2 climbs.

Here's Tyler doing Eastern Dyno.
 Here is video of Kate doing the same climb.


While we were at Hollowell a pretty good snow storm rolled through. We were getting hit by pea sized snow pellets for about 30 minutes.


We decided to pack up and head to Suzuki boulder. After about 10 minutes at Suzuki, it stopped snowing and Tyler and Kate attempted Middle East V5 and I attempted a variation of East Crack V3. All 3 of us were unsuccessful, but Tyler put together the whole sequence in 2 parts, Kate was freezing, but still able to put together the first 2 moves and I have the sequence down until the top out. Sends will be coming in the near future for all 3 of us.

All in all, it was a great day in Estes Park and RMNP.

Carter Lake 5.22.11


May have found a new boulder. The water was pretty high, so the guide book is hard to follow. Kahuna and Fallen Arete were almost underwater. Used MyTracks on the new mobile device to map the trail. Edited the video last night, got it ready to publish this afternoon. I can't wait till school is over.
