Day 1. Cat in the Hat. We were not early and efficient enough. We reached our cut off time (2:30pm) and rapped from pitch 4. Day 2. Geronimo. We ... http://idontcare.us/blog/2009/12/01/cragging-at-red-rocks After breakfast at McDonalds, we drove to Icicle Butress. Temperature is in the mid 40s but there is sunshine. I led pitch 1, 3, and 4. Yinan led pitch 2. There is some serious rope drag on pitch 4. I used 4 double slings and I wish I had more. ... http://idontcare.us/blog/2009/11/01/climbing-rd-at-icicle-butress Day 1: Cinnomon slab 5.6 lead. First pitch is really fun although it feels more like 5.7 to me. Second pitch is pretty easy. Spiderman 5.7 lead. No wonder it's a 4-star route. The lie back is definitely the crux. The roof is not as hard as it looks. Day 2: Moscow 5.6 lead.

Very nice bolted friction slab. The Scene is clean 5.8, I led, Chen Liang and Yinan followed. A very delicate friction, very much sustained 5.8 though some guide books rate it 5.9.

Misc routes at Brogan Spire complex. We began with Cave Route. The guide book by Alan Watts is quite out-dated. The first pitch is now bolted. There are at least 2-3 boltes routes to the left as well. I lead an overhand left to the standard route to ... http://idontcare.us/blog/2009/09/07/climbing-at-smith-rock-0905-0907 On June 27 - 29, Tian and I climbed Mt Jefferson via Jeff Park Glacier route.
