I was fortunate to be able to do some guiding in Eldorado Canyon. My client is a solid climber and we cruised a bunch of great pitches. Best was the Yellow Ridge. What a cool and dramatic line! It had been a long time for me, being away from Eldo and I felt like I had come home. I love the Gunks but the heights and the light in the Canyon are amazing. I often dream of climbing on that dark stone with the dayglo lichens and insistent roar of South Boulder Creek. It's a place that doesn't leave you once you've been.
