how is basalt at Vantage? Is it slippery? Looks amazing (maybe a little bit like Diablo Canyon in New Mexico?). Radek, have you climbed at Unaweep canyon? Looks, like a hidden treasure. I explored the area yesterday, still a lot of snow. Rock is superb...
Hi Liba - thank you very much! The basalt there is nice (don't think it's too slippery), the climbing is fun, the scenery is OK IMHO. Place can get crowded esp. early spring and esp. the Sunshine Wall (this is Middle East Wall and it was totally empty last weekend :) The camping sucks there IMHO...you're better off going for a cheap motel. Never been to Unaweep (or in fact any climbing places in NM unfortunately)....someday hopefully. Thanks for visiting and have a great weekend.
Unaweep is in Colorado, nearly on the border with Utah - I think that place has tons of potential, thousands of routes, great rock...Mountain project has some great descriptions. I think that I will post some photos tomorrow from that place.
sure is! the place is great esp. at the beginning of spring - the feel of warm sunshine (well, not on the mid east wall though :)
thanks for visiting & cheers Martin.

Re: great photos...Vantage reminds me of those photos from the Mars Rovers. Nice climbing though. :-)
