Colorado 2001


Bela and I started our trip to Colorado on June 7, 2001 after getting about 3 hours sleep. Skup picked us up and after some breakfast and a quick nap we headed out to Golden to climb. Friday we went to Eldorado Canyon (Eldo) with Skup, Mike, Jodi and Todd. We climbed Calypso (5.6), which was Skup and my first multi-pitch - very thrilling! Saturday we went to Boulder- and I finally got the boys to Neptune Mountaineering. They realized what I was talking about when I said it was THE ulitmate climbing shop, needless to say we purchased a few items (scary aid gear and fun clothes). Sunday we got up early to climb Torrey's Peak, or should I say attempt... altitude got the best of Bela and I but we had mucho fun glissading back down! Finally on Monday, my birthday and last day of our trip, we went bouldering at Morrison and played with Action Man! :) Hope you enjoy the pics!
