East Ridge + The Bowels of the Owls, Estes Park, CO | 5.8 - 2 pitches; 5.0 - 3 pitch down climb

Geared up to do a quick run of the East Ridge of the Twin Owls. Short but sweet!

   

The second photo below was a funny moment! I remember watching Justin stand on the rock and look around for any possible spot to place gear. The move was a realtively easy pull over a roof, however a comfort piece would be nice. Justin places the worlds tiniest piece of gear and makes the move – the piece delicately pops out. We nervous laugh and keep going.

   

Tip top!

     

 

Then down The Bowels of the Owls. :O

   

 

Cool down at Gem Lake.
