Vedauwoo Weekend

Doug decides to subject his mom Beth to a weekend of camping and climbing with us at Vedauwoo. We all pool resources to make her first night in a tent comfortable. We supply the two-person tent, Kate & Mark supply the ample air mattress, and Doug & Liz supply the sleeping bag. Beth is a…

Geo Mashup Plugin 1.1 Beta 1 Release

This is a bleeding edge release of my WordPress Geo Mashup Plugin. I know some of these features are in demand, so I’m making this preview release so you can play with them and start getting some feedback to me. There are loose ends, and I plan to put in more features, but it has…

Clear Creek – High Wire Crag

We’re looking for some easily-reached climbing before we head home today. I have a very old guidebook with some routes in Clear Creek Canyon above Golden, an easy drive. After perusing The Mountain Project information as well, we choose High Wire Crag for its selection of moderates. It turns out to be a popular choice,…

Live Music: CSO plays Beethoven’s Fantasia and 9th Symphony

This is the finalé of the Colorado Symphony Orchestra season finalé we’ve been attending for two weeks. Jeffrey Kahane has conducted and performed seven great Beethoven works so far, returning from his months of recovery from hypertension with a Herculean performance. The piano introduction to the Fantasia sounds as difficult as any of it, but…

Live Music: Jeffrey Kahane solo

I can’t help wondering to myself whether Jeffrey Kahane can maintain the intensity of the performances he delivered last week through another long weekend. Tonight he has no help from the orchestra – the piano sits alone on the stage. Only Beethoven will be there to keep him company on the music stand, Sonata No.…

A traipse on Greyrock Trail

In improvisation mode, Mom asks for a drive up Poudre Canyon, and then a short hike along Greyrock Trail, one of my favorites. The flowers are in bloom here too, and today I get some very nice photos of Scarlet Globemallow and Bull Thistle. Mom spots a new bird I’ve now forgotten, and Fairy Ring…

Din Din

East Moon treats us particularly well tonight. Mom, Ann, Sean, Doug, Liz and I have a serious, subdued meal governed entirely by the dictums of propriety.

Button Rock

We take Mom up to Buttonrock Reservoir to do a couple of the roadside climbs that she can watch. Ann and I both enjoy Green Slab 5.9+, then toprope the strenuous Buick 5.10a, an overhanging lieback crack. Ann gives Dihedral 5.8 a try, but is turned back by the insecure stemming and finishes it on…

Live Music: Jeffrey Kahane plays and conducts Beethoven’s piano concertos

We all return to Boettcher Concert Hall to see if Jeffery can pull off the two remaining concertos, Nos. 1 and 5. He does so with the same composure we’ve come to admire fondly. The impossibility of the task is less imposing now that we’ve seen him do it a few times, but I’m still…

Bear Creek Trail Blooms

Now that the few patches of snow on Bear Creek Trail have melted, it’s swarming with mountain bikers. Ann and Dad contend with them for the full 5 mile trail, while Mom and I take the opportunity to examine all the wildflowers that are blooming just off the trail while we dodge the bikes. Neither…
