South Fork Platte, Turkey Rocks

Post by **skykilo** » Tue Jul 19, 2011 2:11 am

The foothills to the west between Denver and Colorado Springs are sprinkled with beautiful granite domes.

This formation is known as Tukey Tail.

This one is Turkey Perch.

Naomi follows the first pitch of Hummingbird Way.

Naomi leads over a roof on the second pitch of Hummingbird Way.

This is Rasmussen's Crack.

The hand traverse is great.

Naomi leads the second pitch of Spider Lady.

This striking crack is called Quiver and Quill. I had to climb it. This picture does not give a hint about how much it overhangs.

Naomi leads Vanishing Point, a stellar climb.

I want more. Gobble gobble!

The reaping of all that is worthwhile.

It was incredible fun. So that this is not just a me show, here are some pics of Sky.

Sky stemming up Hummingbird Way.

1st pitch of Spider Lady. Look at the delicious roofs.

This is the stupid hard 10c overhangy offwidth, Quiver and Quill.

There is more I want to climb there, or I'd just be happy to climb all of these stellar climbs again.
