Good Leads This Weekend

I sport led my first 5.10 this weekend, and tacked on two 5.9+s as well. While I've trad led 5.9 in the Gunks before, and possibly elsewhere (Pawtuckaway?, Crow Hill?, Acadia? North Conway?, Switzerland? - I can't remember exactly), today was the first day that I've led 5.10 outside. I've led 5.11 inside before (though how clean is still up for debate) and am not afraid of hard 5.10s in the gym

Red Rocks - Gloucester

Went to Red Rocks the other day with a bunch of friends. We all had a good time climbing and a few friends had their first outdoor leads. I was impressed with everyone wanting to lead. They all sport led it, but that is OK. No one needs to do a trad lead their first time out. I was proud of all of them. Below are some pics...
