My friend Joe called a few days ago to let me know that he and Steve Annecone would be in Eldorado Canyon Tuesday morning climbing. Steve was going to attempt his redpoint of a route called Superfly. I had top roped the route some a few months ago but never went back to finish it, or a least try. The route is short and fierce and rated at 12d. It's got great movment and being all gear is truly one of the last hard routes in Eldo without bolts. After Steve's attempt, I top roped it again and with the help of Steve's beta I was finally able to do probably the harest move on the climb for the first time. I finally saw the light at the end of the tunnel you could say. It's a great location to hang out early in the morning on these warm summer days and comes into the sun about noon or so. Below is a short video clip I shot of Steve on it.
Sweet ride by Steve. I'll I could hear belaying was that cam blow and then an eternal pause before the system reloaded. Gladed it all worked out.
