yea, cloud tower is amazing. best route i've been on there (even though it handed me my a$%)-- aside from the first pitch the rest is as good as any Indian Creek crack climbing.

mmm.. Desert Gold...

Brendan, you only need three days to climb everything worthwhile in Red Rocks.

1st day: DG
2nd day: Rainbow Wall Original Route
3rd day: Cloud Tower

Then you never have to go back!

You should clearly skip out on Red Rocks and go to Yosemite on the 24th of September. The driving time is a paltry 18 hours and on the plus side, you could give me a ride ;)

[quote="harihari"]You might also think about going to City of Rocks instead of going all the way to Vegas/Utah for 4 days.
It takes one long day to get there from Vancouver.[/quote]

What do you mean by one long day? I thought it was about 18-20 hours from Vancouver, same as Bishop, because even though its more North, its also more east.

Was I wrong?

Yeah, as long as the roads are smooth and without much traffic like my own concrete driveway, I am up for it :lol:
