This weekend we escaped the heat of St. George and retreated to Flagstaff, Arizona. What a delightful town!! A place where you can do things outside in the middle of the day, bikes always have a place on the road, and friends abound in hospitality.

Another "family" photo with Kristen and Clay Massey


Anthony and Steven after eating the best hamburger EVER.


On the way to Flag, Anthony and I stopped by Red Rocks to climb Dark Shadows, a climb that's been on the tic list for awhile. With the shade and canyon breeze, the weather was surprisingly nice.





Me on the 4th pitch of Dark Shadows.


Anthony on the 3rd pitch of Dark Shadows.





After Anthony ascended the rope from two different sets of rap rings that didn't lead to more rap rings, we tried rapping the route. Note: with some rope stretch, a 70 meter rope just barely gets you down!
