Black Velvet
Yesterday I walked into Black Velvet Canyon. It's a beautiful approach in the southern end of Red Rock Canyon. The 2000' walls and the rock define Red Rock climbing and as I hoped the climbers were out.
Don't be fooled by the close ups. A tripod and telephoto don't show the exposure.
They are well off the valley floor. Some of the routes have more than 10 pitches. That means hundreds of feet in the air.
On the way out there was a real treat waiting. Two young Big Horn Sheep. I got a chance to follow them for a while
They let me get just so close and no closer.
Then they showed off their rock skills.
Gone in a flash!
