Happy Sunday, everyone β
It's time for another installment of Alchemy in the Wild!
This time we've got a gorgeous new submission from the great state of COLORADO! Shout outs to Robyn and Patrick for being a part of our amazing community and for sharing a little slice of their adventure from their trip to Denver and the surrounding picturesque landscapes of Clear Creek and Morrison.
Robyn gave a little trip report along with these photos saying: "Patrick and I made the trip out there to see Bright Eyes at Red Rocks, but we were snowed out by the biggest snow storm Denver got all winter. Since we were there, we had to do some climbing. We lucked out where all the climbing routes were clear and dry by the day after the storm. We rented some pads from a nearby gym and headed out. We got to climb some routes overlooking Red Rocks, all of which were waayyyy more difficult than we anticipated. On day two we tried out Clear Creek which had some nice boulders right along the water. The routes were much more approachable and the valleys were gorgeous. I could've stayed along that creek for days."
As far as a favorite route from the trip, Robyn said "Shrimp Fried Rice" along the creek was definitely the one.
Climbing in a place like Clear Creek can be such an invigorating experience- the feel of the breeze on your face, the sounds of the water rushing by, and that ultimate sense of presence and connection you get when sending a boulder problem in the middle of such spectacular VIEWS! Ah! Chef's kiss!
Great submission, y'all! Soo happy you got to get out there!!
Please check out Robyn and Patrick's submission as part of our big Alchemy in the Wild display in the hall... aka the MAP Walls. If you find yourself in the wild this summer and you would like to be featured- message us here! we'd be delighted to include you, too!
Have an adventurous rest of your weekend, everyone!
And, as always- climb on.
