4. Drive to Vegas (in Marci’s car since the Prius isn’t here yet) for a spa treatment for Marci as a thank you for everything she’s done in arranging the upcoming trip; stop in every tacky souvenir shop we can along the way; try to go skydiving but the winds are too much; lose money; win money. Then go on a date with dinner and a movie.

5. Solo 20 routes at Red Rocks, where the heat almost hits triple digits, including Fear and Loathing (5.12a), Party Down (5.12b), Promises in the Dark (5.12b). Then drive home.

6. Jog five miles, and get guilty looks from the Wondermutts for not taking them, which prompts another three mile walk with them; workout in the regular gym where Damon “Damo” Corso finishes a photo shoot for a fitness magazine; get psyched that I can do 15-second one-arm hangs with 110 pounds, seated one-arm rows with 220 pounds, and regular pull-ups with Christina “Lil’ Bit” Pilo (Damo’s better half) hanging on my shoulders.
