Headed for Maple baby!

Ok, Rifle was amazingly powerful with some super fun climbing in-there.  Can't wait to come back and try some harder lines on the Bauhuas or project wall.  Anyway, getting psyched on some more familiar endurance lines on cobbles.  Should be rollin in later tonight.   Get some!

Rifle Limestone, What!



So good to be out west.  Cool mountain temperatures in the mornings and evenings.  Practically no humidity, if only the rock had any texture left on it there would be some serious pullin going on.  The slick limestone has definitely taken awhile to get used to, however the climbing hear is rad.  Nothing like i have ever experienced. I have totally fallen in love with the Anti-Phil wall. It's gently overhanging at 5-10 degrees with some seriously techy movements.  Refreshingly deferent than the steep jug hauls I'm used to.
