There are some climbing areas that I have always enjoyed and where I will always return with lots of pleasure.
The Red Rocks are one of those places. I love the sandstone there and the feeling of being in the middle of such a massive rock formation colored in red, purple and beige...
Red rocks is a great place for moderate climbs, bouldering and long multipitch trad climbing route.

That was an ideal place for me to start climbing again outside.

                                                    

        The Trophy Wall a nice steep place to get back your power and endurance

     

The Red Rocks chapter of my trip ended with the Miami Vice party. Gunnar, a friend of ours, celebrated his Birthday in this huge mansion in Las Vegas. Most of the people were climbers, skydivers or base jumpers, and were all dressed in 80's 'Miami Vice' costumes. The 2 days we spen in the mansion felt like a little time warp ;-
