I woke up and the neighbors were taking off for the rocks. I said wait I'm coming. We then took an hour and a half drive to El Dorado Canyon just south of Boulder. WOW is this area gorgeous! Right after passing through the park gate you immediately past huge multi-pitch walls of rock with climbers scattered all over them left and right. I'm sure my jaw was hanging. So anyway, we had a great time. This area for the most part does not have bolts in the rock, so you have to trad climb the routes. I've never trad climbed, but the people I went with have experience and gear to do it. So I followed them on top-rope. I guess it was a good step for working towards placing trad gear, because I got to clean the route behind them and therefore learned a bit about good piece placement.

wow - that sounds awesome! I don't know what trad climbing is, but the area you were in sounds great. I can't wait to get into climbing more. You'll have to be my personal trainer when (if) we move there.
BTW, I like the new title. Hope you guys are doing well. I put some things on your friends protopage if you haven't seen it yet.
Hey bro! Traditional climbing is going up a wall that doesn't have any bolts in it. It's your job to place your own anchors on the way up. It sounds SO scary... but hopefully I'll get to learn soon.
Then there's Sport climbing - in which there are bolts in the wall for you to put your quickdraws in on the way up.
I played your games, haha. Thanks for posting those. Fun stuff.
