Outdoors in CO




 


After our weekend of indoor comps was over, we made the most of our time in such a beautiful climbing state, by heading outdoors.
First we hit up the Satellite Boulders in the Flatirons. After completing the maze of trails to find the boulders, Ben worked the V9 Turning Point. JP and I sent a V4 and worked a few V6s. It was chilly and a bit snowy (nothing like NY) but we got a good session in.

Monday was a beautiful day and we headed up to the Millennium Boulder outside of Morrison. We got the recommendation from the fellas at the Satellites and scoped it out online that night. What we found was an unbelievable glacial erratic just sitting out in a field. This boulder had one and two finger pockets dotted here and there. There were sharp crimps, textured slopers, great top outs and very hard problems. The weather was perfect, the hike in wasn't too bad (about 20-25 minutes of relatively flat terrain) and the others climbing there were enjoyable company.

After such a great day, we all left really amped for spring to arrive in NY sometime soon.
