Big Elk Meadows

Went to Big Elk Meadows, which is in between Estes and Lyons yesterday for a day of bouldering since it was my day off, and I was really happy with the decision. The rock at BEM is phenomenal and the problems are all very cool and moderate and right at my level it seemed. I actually was able to flash a V3, which worked up a awesome arete and was really hard for me! There were also several other cool problems, in a really cool concentrated area called The Sanctuary which is consequently where we spent the most of our time! Here are some pictures and some video as well.

Some video of a cool V3 problem that Wayne and I were both able to get a send on:

We also worked a lot of really cool other problems and I managed to flash a V2 at the end of the day when I was pretty tired and then send another V2 when I was totally exhausted! It was definitely one of my stronger days since I've been out here!
