Nick and I headed up to Estes Park on Saturday to do some climbing at Jurassic Park, a crag that sits above Lily Lake near Highway 7. We got two routes in before a storm poured a bunch of rain and some sleet on us and soaked everything. This photo is of a lady climbing The Edge of Time, a 5.9 route that was above mine and Nick’s ability when we tried it last October, and I ripped my pants, elbow and one of my ass cheeks crashing through the tree just to the guy’s left in the photo. We didn’t do it this time, as we got stormed off about 20 minutes after I took this photo with Nick’s camera.
The 2007 Colfax Marathon was going on Sunday, and I stopped by the intersection of Broadway and Colfax to snap the cliche runner in front of the capitol building photo. Last year, when I was running the marathon, I was still in good spirits about here, which I think was close to Mile 14. No way in hell I’m doing that again.
We took Josh up to Horsetooth Reservoir and met up with Aaron and Krista to act like we knew how to boulder. Here’s a shot of Aaron nailing the Penny Lunge for the first time ever. Had I waited a fourth of a second, I would have had a really great shot here. 
Here’s Nick starting the Penny Lunge, with Krista, Josh and I spotting him. There’s really no way to do it besides jumping completely off the rock and throwing both hands for the top. 
He hung on to the top hold for just a second before coming off. Nick’s going to have to get it next time. He was so close …
Here’s another shot from the top. Nick’s trying to one-hand the dyno, which is actually tougher, in my humble amateur opinion.
