Christmas Bouldering in Red Rock

What happens when you meet a few good people just once in Squamish? Months later, you end up climbing together for a week in Red Rock!

A friend of mine planted the idea in my head that I could do a bouldering trip over Christmas break, and seeing as I can’t say no to adventure, the idea took hold in my brain.

I messaged a few people and ended up with a solid crew from Colorado and California. We all met up in Red Rock, Nevada to spend a few days climbing together.

Highlights of the trip include flashing my first outdoor V3 (S’orange), watching Carl and Chelsea team send Equinox V6, petting Pogo, and all four of us doing the Jollibee dance in the middle of the restaurant.

Pastel sunset in Kraft.

Took a rest day in Zion National Park and caught a gorgeous sunset.

The legendary Plumbers Crack, which I definitely did not climb because I’m too scared of the downclimb.

A millionth attempt on The Wave V3.

Another mellow, beautiful sunset in the desert.

Amazing friends to climb with: Kent, Chelsea, and Carl.

Forever obsessed with all the rocks here.

Pogo, an anxious but adorable crag doggo.
