Shirley at the second belay on (the superfun) Armatron on Brownstone Wall (Nov. 2009).
This was one of these in-out trips to Red Rocks. After a season of aid climbing, we were trying to get back into free climbing mode. Well Armatron went well and was super fun (wanted to climb it since seeing a picture of it in the new Handren guidebook) but we failed on the other climb of the weekend…not a terribly productive trip but a fun one that’s for damn sure.
