Cat In The Hat With Rings

Pete, Eric and I climbed "Cat in the Hat" at Red Rocks on Thursday. And there was a cat in the rocks that ate all our food while we climbed. It was a ring-tailed cat and it took my entire bag of trail mix.

Here’s Eric high on the “Cat”

Here’s Pete placing gear on the first pitch:

I only led one pitch on this route and I had a nasty leader fall. It was kind of a wedgie.
