Taken along the Ridge to Snikatu North of Torrey’s and Gray’s and NE of Loveland Pass, CO
Here’s a BW version:
I went up to Loveland Pass in the hopes of going for a stroll up to the top of Snikatu last night. However, the steady 70+ mph winds thwarted my attempt. It was difficult to just stand in that intensity. So, I went downslope on the southside and snagged the above photo in a steady 30 mph wind. The cold made my trigger release stiffen up.
We went out to Smith Rocks again this week! My wife took the sharp end of the rope for another round and squashed the spider on the first pitch of Spiderman Buttress a 5.7 slab for her third lead climb ever. Naturally while out there to climb I also seized the opportunity to get some more photos.
