Red Rocks, Jan '07

This was our second annual winter Red Rocks trip, with many of the same cast and crew as the previous year and lots of new faces.
Unlike the previous year, it was cold. We had temps drop into the high teens a couple of nights and most days barely broke 50 degrees F.
Nonetheless, it was wonderful being in the dessert, even if one had to stand in snow and wear puffy coats at belay stations.
