2013 What a year it has been!

| Dreamscape |
We were so lucky to go on so many awesome climbing adventures over the last 365 days.
From Patagonia to Elbsandstein in Germany, Pennsylvania bouldering to the Bishop California
AAC event, Red Rocks Nevada to Ouray Colorado ice… Psyched!
 |
| 15,000 routes! |
I hope 2014 provides us all with much health, wealth, and partners for many
adventures around the globe.

from the final month of the year. Enjoy!

 |
| Liz going for it on the first pitch of the Skylight Chimney, Ouray CO |
 |
I got pitch2 up in the deep chimney above. Super fun, and a full 60m pitch.
The chimney pitch is always super fun!! Go get it if you have not... |
 |
We did the route as a party of three. Here is Carol Kotchek topping out of
the chimney. This was her first multi-pitch ice climb, and a excellent one! |
 |
Liz fired up the third pitch. Carol is just topping out.
This was our last climb to close out the 2013 year!

Cheers,
Cor
