Red Rock

[Stephanie]

Was there last year during a visit to LV...I'm not a climber tho...

Still beautiful though !

Did you get out of the car , walk around , or just drive the Loop Road ? x

Have you been tuning in:

with something so vague like that 'ad' (more like a documentary shot in the local lock up) and just dying to suck you in and watch it because there is nothing else to 'sell' it, that speaks volumes and means I wont be going near it, makes it look like one of those retards on safari to ibiza shows. idiot tv for idiots.

Drove around, did the visitor centre...got out for some pictures, nice place...when I win the lottery I'm moving to Boulder city...do you know it? What a great little town.

Though I lived in Vegas for a couple of years , I'm afraid my focus was on RedRock and Mt. Charleston !

-- Boulder City I would know only as drive-through Hoover Dam ..

Looks like a nice little place though , will have to explore x

I know one of the guys xx

Awesome feat , but the hoopla surrounding it goes against all old school thinking / feeling.

We go out to climb for our pleasure , and when it's picked up by news outlets and news anchors're spouting off about

something they have not the slightest idea about or appreciation for , well , it's painful. Saw CNN covering it. !!

Most guys still go off and climb and conquer in silence and in private , only the immediate circle of us would know of a

project coming up or a milestone achieved. . . . And respect and awe be payed to those who excel ! In spades x


Nowadays though there are endorsements , sponsorships etc. , imo the 'sport' has lost its purity.

Then again , we never looked it as a 'sport' -- it was a belief system and a lifestyle xx

: So aching to go back to my roots and do a gnarly full on climbing trip !! Miss my VW :; xx

Indeed !! !!

: For really difficult technical climbs >> have to be as imaginative as one is skilled.

It's a great thrill xx



Mind ya , I'm just but an amateur in these endeavors !! xx
