sorry off the meds.
i'll agree (somewhat) wth the gym thing but the woodie rule makes up for the lack of gyms.
i second dub on the 29 palms and the community aspect of shops and stuff.

That extra 6 miles is at around 30 MPH. Regardless, if a climbing "town" is what 512OW is describing then neither Vegas nor Lexington qualify. I'd knock Chatty out of there too. That's a freakin' city.Shamis wrote:yeah, the loop is 13 miles.SCIN wrote:Shamis, you still haven't touched on one thing. The one-way loop for Red Rocks. Am I smoking crack or does it not take twice as long to get home from climbing as it does to get there because of the one-way loop?
19 miles from Treasure Island to the entrance of red rocks. 13 miles through the loop, and 19 miles back.
So coming from the strip, you're round trip would be 51 miles. Still less miles that it is from downtown lexington to slade. Granted, it might take you the same time if you're stuck in traffic...but if you are anywhere near any of the major highways that will get you to 215 fast, and then get you to charleston fast, it won't take that long.
Also, lets not forget that I haven't even figured in the amount of time you need to get from the slade exit to either the southern region or Muir valley. And the hike times in both those places are probably worse than any of the major red rocks sport crags, although you and piggie probably have forgotten about that since you both drive to the crag.
