Summit County Bouldering & Airport Transportation


This is the Traverse Wall on Swan Mountain Road between Keystone and Breckenridge.

I spent some time here traversing, and noticed a little 3' tall wall with chalk all over the place on the tiny grooves (behind the horn on the left in this pic). After a while a guy came down with what seemed like a 2, 4 and 6 year-old. They immediately jumped on the chalky little rock. After a bit they sat on a bouldering pad and changed into rock shoes. I was leaving then so didn't get to watch them, but how much fun is that? Can hardly wait.

Later, at the airport (DEN) I was going back and forth between the terminals looking for something to eat and drink (Terminal C is horrible) and you have to go around and around the escalators as you head around on the trains. A rude girl with a cell glued to her cheek blasted down the escalators knocking everyone aside and griped:

"In the US you stand on the right and walk on the left! What is so hard about that? What's wrong with you people."

I do agree, having had quite a struggle getting around the moving beltways in Terminal B (huge since United took it over). What with people moving at random speeds and holding hands with piles of luggage all over the belt - it was quite annoying.

  1. AMEN!
    Rechts Stehen. Links Gehen. How difficult is that? In Europe, you will get hit in the head by some old German's umbrella if you don't stand on the correct side. You will also get stares and glares and total grumpiness. WHY IS IT SO HARD? I don't see too many people having a trouble driving on the right side of the road. So, why is walking on the right so hard?
