This is one of the shots from the climbing we did on Saturday. Greyrock mountain is a huge granite dome just northwest of Ft Collins. The hike in is pretty rough, 2 miles with some serious elevation gain. Usually, after doing such a massive approach, Mark and I climb one of the 4-5 pitch routes to the summit of the dome. Liv usually hangs out at the bottom and guards the packs from rodents. But on Saturday, there were signes up everywhere warning of active bears in the area and loudly dissuading everybody from leaving pets and children un-attended.

We decided to keep Liv with us and explore the South Slabs area. These are a group of single pitch climbs that turned out to be really nice. We still got in 4 pitches of climbing, and Liv got to spend the day sleeping next to us on the ledge.

Last weekend Mark and I spent two days climbing hard on the sweet granite of the Poudre Canyon, just outside Fort Collins. On Saturday, we climbed the South Slabs on Greyrock, and on Sunday we finally got a chance to meet up with the Cyberhobo. We had an awesome day climbing with a great group of people on some fun climbs at the Palace. This is Cyberhobo/Dylan thinking hard about the next section of climbing. Poudre Canyon, The Palace, Northern Colorado.

Yep, I’m still posting these pictures. Hey, they turned out well! And the place was incredible!

On Sunday, Mark and I went out to the Fish Creek Falls area, which is a little campground/picknick/hiking area about 5 minutes north of Steamboat Springs. The area centers around a 280ft waterfall. I tried taking pics of it, but the light was right behind it, and I was too far away for anything really spectacular.

Anyway, after a little while we found the hike recommended for fall color viewing in the paper that morning. This trail ran up the mountain south of the waterfall and ended at an old, abandonded uranium mine. It was a really cool hike.
