SWEET pics Adam, I would love to climb Garden of the Gods at some point. I frequent that area and always see climbers, but have yet to climb there.

It sure is, the far left route (long 5.8). One of the members of our group was learning to clean and rap routes, I hung out up top to make sure he didn't kill himself. It was freezing down below in the shade, nice and toasty up top.
We just did the 4 pitch on the other side of the canyon this past weekend (Playin' Hookey?), that's a fun route.
Montezuma's tower up top? I did that climb with my dad when I was about 14. Great fun. Scariest 5.6 I've ever been on. ;)
Used to go every day..
After a broken hand and shattered ankle.. climbing isn't in my 'can do' list anymore... I tried some indoor climbing, and it just wasn't the same..
DSB you'll discover muscles are capable of failing to function after hours on a slab of rock :) [Coffee]
I think guns are a cheaper hobby :)
I figured there were some other rock-rats hiding on this board! More of a sport/boulderer here- and mixed ice when i can find time to train. I have too many hobbies that are gear-intensive already so bouldering strongly appeals to my wallet: shoes/pad/chalk. done.
Be careful not to overtrain once the addiction fully sets in.....ask me how I know. Most of my best and most intense memories are from traveling and climbing. Spending winters in Hueco Tanks TX bouldering with some of the best climbers from around the world is ethereal and inspirational on a completely different level.
Have fun and don't be afraid to bail on your climbing partner if they are not safe enough for you. You will find another/better. Equipment fails occasionally, people fail commonly.
last climb was montezuma, years ago. gave it up when the kids came along.
10 years and a half bum shoulder later, expect my days of climbing are over
