I was passing through on my way to the Creek and snuck in a single day at Red Rock! As a solo female traveler who was already nervous about finding partners for trad... I thought maybe it would just be easiest to have a fun, moderate day on boulders in a world class climbing destination! Stay tuned & subscribe cause ya girl is ON THAT VIDEO GRIND 🙏🏽🍞😤

3:38 Potato Chips V?* (I didn't have a guidebook so I climbed the most obvious line to me... and I think I used a smattering of holds from two climbs... idk, honestly I just was there to have fun. Could be anywhere from V5 to V7)

That looked like so much fun! Just going out and having fun alone. That's awesome.
Thanks! Yeah it was so enjoyable- I love me a good solo adventure
Going to Red Rock next weekend for a climbing trip and this is so helpful!
So glad to see you enjoying my hometown rock! Love your vids
Ahhh red rock is your hometown? Incredible! Thank you 😊
@@AnnaHazelnutt I grew up literally 10 minutes from there. :) I've been scrambling over that sandstone since I was a little tike. My parents still live there, and every time I go to visit, I hit up Red Rock.
Going climbing on my own gives me those feels I get when travelling on my own (which might not happen for a long time). Cute video and loved all the clapping (you Americans are so happy and vocal! 😅)
Thank you! Haha yeah it was a fun time running into such a stoked group!
I love it! Red rocks was where I really learned to Boulder and lead confidently. Amazing place. So weird seeing someone on UA-cam try a bunch of Boulders I've tried in the past. They all look so much easier than they actually are lol.
Ah isn’t it incredible? I’ve been a few times, mostly in passing, but each time I love it. Such a great place to solo boulder in my opinion
You did a low-start to the “original” potato chips. Hella good tech on all these climbs, you made everything look effortless
Oh gotcha! I really didn't know what I was doing but it flowed nicely and that was my ultimate goal haha. Thank you :)
Loved your climbing & videography vid! You so talented! 😍💪🏿🤪👍🏽💜❤️😘🤩
haha aww thanks mama :)
You deserve to be much more popular on UA-cam
I love your blue paisley climbing tights! No wonder you are so good!
😂😂👏🏽👏🏽
Dang Hyperglide is so easy for you! Great little vid, good framing on all the boulders :)
Thanks! Omg hyperglide took me quite a few tries, it's a tough one!
Very nice work. I wish I was half as strong as you at climbing.
The top outs are amazing at Kraft! You make it all look so easy… I recently projected your first 2 warmups :)
4:52 Look! You’re being worshipped 🙌🏻 Hail the queen 👸🏻
😂🙏🏽 👑
I really wanna go to Red Rocks 😍
It’s so beautiful there!
Nice video!
Thank you!!

I see you have Shamans and Oracle shoes, can you tell me why you chose the shamans now and not your Oracle's?. what's the difference for you in climbing with them?
Oracles are more downturned and I love them as my performance shoe. When I’m just randomly hopping around/ not trying anything super difficult, I like the shamans because they’re super comfy and easy to get on and off
@@AnnaHazelnutt Ahh thanks! that makes sense.. i have my "slippers" scarpa veloce for a easy day.. for the send days i use the Oracle, i love these shoes! (i bought them because i have seen them on your channel and thought hmm they look great!..)
Is there a big grade disparity between there and Josh boulders? I've done mostly trad and a little sport in red rocks (and nearby areas like potosi). They have always felt easier, but in part, I think that's because sandstone and limestone is rather grippy. But the boulders, how are they compared to jtree?
It’s hard to tell with just one day there! I’m also super used to granite (there was that time when I practically lived in the buttermilks). So I was able to climb harder grades in josh, but I also wasn’t trying any particularly difficult climbs here and that wasn’t really my objective.
This will continue to be a mystery. But maybe if I get further delayed moving on-site for work, I will try to find a rental near Red Rocks and climb out there!
Red rocks is known for having fairly soft grades for sport and trad, but the bouldering is pretty standard. If you can climb v7 at Red Rocks Climbing Center, you can probably climb v4/v5 at Kraft Mountain. I don't necessarily think Josh is physically harder, everything is just scarier there. Much more smearing and climbing in no fall zones. While Red Rocks sandstone is super featured and often has tons of holds.
@@garvinnoah haha, yes, definitely a lot scarier. Last weekend I came across a group who could spot me (to give me enough confidence) to finish "the chube" . It turns out someone in that group the same day broke his leg falling from it. It's always the topouts. You can get right to the end then have to face a slabby mantle ending.
