A Quick Trip To Calico

Here are a few pictures from a quick day trip to Calico. After a day on the trails Robert, Kevin and myself decided we try our luck on running The Gate Keeper. This is probably the most difficult section in the area. It is located at the entrance to one of the trails we ran earlier in the day which we used the by-pass then. We all removed our doors because we new there was a huge possibility of body damage on this climb. After several minutes of discussions on which is the best and easiest line I volunteered to go first (probably not the smartest idea). This was probably the hardest climb I have ever attempted. I made it 3/4 ways up before I needed assistance via my winch line. Fortunately for Kevin and Robert we discovered the right line real quick. They both were able to make it with out any assistance; I guess it doesn’t pay to go first all the time!!! LOL We can't wait to go back and try our luck again!
