Just say no to crack, especially if it's wide. Jared Coburn cuts right on the first pitch.

Top of the last pitch of Crimson! Great full day of climbing.
This is how much rope we had left after rappelling the 1st pitch (70m rope). 7th pitch also came close to the ends. <br> Knot your ropes folks!

Climbers on Crimson Chrysalis with Las Vegas Strip and Lake Mead in the background.
This photo was stiched together using 3 pictures my friend took from the base. If you look carefully, you can pick out Kristo Torgenson of the Access Fund, just beginning the climb.

Going for the pot of gold on the 6th pitch. The desert is a mysterious environment.

Third rap from top. Pitch 7. This is a NEW 70m rope. It's just shy of the anchor. Under body weight, (150lbs) was able to reach the high hanger on the anchor with my PAS. Tricky to get out of the rope. Trickier still to put knots back in for the follower.
