Climbing friend,

I come to red rocks in these weekends coming from western colorado, and am hoping for good weather having. I very much like you tell to me some recommended routes, perhaps of quite high quality, but not perhaps so popular that you have the many peoples climbing above you, below you, and free solo pass you at all times as the circus.

I come with girlfriend of multiple pitch, and look for doing the moderate route of multiple pitch on the climbing rocks of maybe 3-6 pitch, perhaps 5.7-5.10- so she may learn to climb for crack first time, or if there are any excellent rocks of single pitch on harder gradings.

Do you know if perhaps it would be with many people at the climbing rocks during mid january?

Do you have feeling about the gradings of the climbing rocks? Are they quite easy or quite hard when compare to other areas?

Are there any crushing boulders rocks that may be easy to get to but are not to be missed?

Is there perhaps a good location to drink and gamble and do the viewing of the legal brothels after long day on the climbing rocks? This is a custom in your state of Nevada, yes? Myah?

Are there angry and predatory rednecks that may fly your confederate flag and fire at you with shotguns as you make bold flash of the climbing rocks?

How may you pronounce this "Nevada?"

Nev-add-uh.

For moderate multi-pitch I would recommend Olive Oil or Frogland although there are so many good ones. These routes are popular and you are likely to see other parties.

For bouldering, check out the Kraft Boulders It is a very short approach and many good problems.

The Red Rock Casino is very close to the climbing rocks if you want to drink and gamble, or you could go the strip for many more choices of course.

Have fun climbing friend

Climbing friend,

Thank you most for your thought provoking recommendations. I greatly look forward to journey for Na voo, and also climbs with girlfriend of multiple pitch. Perhaps we will see the angel of moroni of Nevada from atop the climbing rocks.

I do not usually drink the alcohols for my body composition for bold flash, but I am thinking in Na Voo, you must do this to fit in and avoid the troubles, as I believe the indigenous people they prefer to smoke and drink themselves to death.

Could you tell me please if there is a way I may win large cash by gambling? May I count cards unimpeded by the casino boss if they are intimidate by my meaty neck and rippling arm guns?

So, do you have a different girlfriend for single pitch?

I can't answer any of these questions. Smoke weed and enjoy the bold flash

I suggest Jubuliant Song 5.8 it has long approach but that keeps crowds down

^^^ Inquiring minds want to know ;-)

I recommend Purblind Pillar, a 6 pitch 5.8 that sees far fewer people than its more popular neighbors Tunnel Vision and Group Therapy. However, keep in mind the descent gully is quite long, likely to be in the shade, and therefore cold this time of the year.

Geronimo is a 4 pitch 5.6 that is very casual, but the multiple raps to descend the route can feel like a chore at the end of the day.

Johnny Vegas and anything near Solar Slab should be ideal in terms of sun exposure, but that likely will also attract more crowds.

Finally, in case you haven't already seen it, be sure to check out this sticky thread

Edit: The second pitch of Physical Graffiti has some nice crack climbing. Full sun exposure, but also tends to be crowded due to relatively short approach.

A little background on Aleks..he use to be a normal kid growing up in Colorado, but something happened. During that crazy meteor that hit Siberia (a few years ago) a worm hole opened under his bed and he was melded with some fringe Siberian lumberjack.

He has some strange reverse Benjamin Buttons condition where every year he gets more muscles but shrinks a few inches (he's currently 3'6" but can bench 400lbs).

Apparently, the condition is terminal and that's where the "Make a Wish Foundation" has stepped in and is paying for the Red Rocks trip and Aleks's dream to hang out with Vegas show girls--while muti-pitch climbing will soon be realized (yay).

Anyway, if you see him say hello, please be patient and a simple "no thank you" will suffice when offered fish oil. Oh and I'm sure he'll deny all of this as he is very sensitive about what's really happening to him :)

Birdland. In the sun. Short approach. High quality.

Great story. I weep for Aleks and his condition. I hope he has the best trip ever! :)

Should I buy him some stuffed animals?

Well if you ever want to come to NC to climb hit me up and I will show you some bold PG-13 lines with 50ft+ run outs. If you are up to it we may even push it for some R rated lines, or maybe a little free solo (the X rated lines).

Can anyone please tell me(Aleks?!) what the heck 'Myah' means or refers to? Help me out man! Sometimes you just have that itch you have to scratch. It seems ungoogleable.
I believe I speak for everyone by saying that your light hearted comments and threads are a much needed light in a community site that's leans toward a 'tough love' type of atmosphere. Keep them rolling!

Easy.

First, dismiss all the rules of Spanish from which the word is derived.

Done?

Good.

Now, think "racist cracker" but edge the twang down by 6.

Then, say it softly, in a cow whispering monotone, like you haven't talked to anybody else in a month.

But you'll fuck it up anyway you burly eurotrash, you! So don't worry about it, just be prepared for the look of twinging aneurysm you'll get from locals. Anyway, locals to Vegas are usually Californians and mispronounce it anyway.

Pro tip: "real" Nevadans don't even consider Vegas part of their state.

Alex,

It's been pretty cold in Red Rocks lately, great for flashing bold boulder problems and single pitch sunny climbs too, you may want to keep these shortest days in mind.

If it is her first time multi pitch climbing it might also be her last. The sun is very short and so many of the climbs are in the shade all day this time of year.

The crowds of chuffers lined up for the sunny multi pitch will blow your fucking mind, however, stinking of fish and flexing neck muscles may help a little.

I could barely boulder in the last week here, it's been windy and cold, but still I succeeded in many bold flashes on classic climbs from the early 1990's, this you will enjoy as well.

Climbing friend,

Thank you more-myah for your kind comments and route recommendations. I very much hope the weather it will be warming and the climbs they will be in the sun! I would not like the cold-shade.

It is true, my flashington's disease is in remission, and I do have other condition. I would like to climb the route of multiple pitch while the vegas dancers they await at top of climb with cold beverage.

I may only have one girlfriend of multiple pitch, and for single pitch and crushing boulder, same girlfriend. I will for definite flex my neck meat and bite the heads off many fish at the base of the climb, try to make people uncomfortable so I may have climb to my own self.

That is all.
Guideline #1: Don't be a jerk.
