The Ironclads

Today, my buddy Kevin Martin and I headed out to the Ironclads which is south of Estes near Allenspark. All in all I'd have to say that the day went pretty well. We were able to warm up today actually, which was great! I started out and onsighted a 5.8 called Thieving Bitch. I was pretty psyched on that! Next, I moved on down and then made another onsight, this time it was of a pretty interesting 5.10c called Short Take. It was a pretty cool route with a neat undercling crux section. Next, we went over and I came extremely close to onsighting a really cool 5.10d roof. I fell right in the crux though and missed a huge effing jug that would have made the whole process a lot easier. Finally, we moved down a few more routes where I was able to make another onsight. This time of a really scary 5.10b. It really tested my head game and I can't say that it was one of my more favorite routes that I've ever been on. haha.

I didn't take any pictures though so my word will just have to do.
