So,
after a long rainy weekend in Boulder, we get up late Monday morning, and it
looks pretty nice out. We decided to drive up to Ft. Collins and check out a
place called Greyrock. It sounds very cool in all of the guidebooks we have,
and it seemed like a fun place to climb. The approach, which we didn't manage
to start intil well into afternoon, was described as "a stiff hours hike."
It was definitely stiff, although it took us substantially longer than an hour.
But, we persevered, and finally made it to the bottom of our climb. The route
we chose is called Alvin, named after one of The Chipmunks. It's a very fun,
five pitch 5.6 that follows up the right side of the rock dome in the picture
below. |
