March 3, 2012 DAY 1
The Seattle winter has been taking a toll on us this year. Big storms have given us deep powder and bad avalanche conditions. We needed to get away! These trips are usually discussed after a couple shots of tequila in a bar in my favorite town in Washington; Leavenworth. To much rain and not enough ice always takes us to the desert.
The four of us caught an early morning flight out of Seattle and into Las Vegas, Nevada. By noon we were in the parking lot of Calico Basin in Red Rocks! I have had many trips to Red Rocks in the past but have never ventured into the Calico Basin. Our first destination was a small crag called Cowlick Crag.
