Last day of climbing here in Estes Park . We drove out to the Ironclades, long approach, nice hike. There are about 5 climbing areas here, we went to Ironsides and climbed "Repeat Offender" Levi had done it before (snort, that's funny, but I'm tired) It was a mighty fine view from up there so I cleared the gear and rapped on down. Ok, well you know it took me a while but it was fun. The next route was even more fun. "Gypsies in the Palace" was a 5.8 for about 9 clips lots of smearing, glad I had the magic shoes back. Lots of underclings too. Then chains, but you could finish up the top that part was a 5.10d. Sadly we lacked the length of rope it would take to accomplish that so we were satisfied with the first bit. It was a verrrrry long walk back to the car. Fun day!!
