For a quick trip out of town, we decided to head west and spend a weekend in the Western Slope area. Day one, we stopped in an area just miles east of Glenwood Spring and climbed at a small area called Poux.
This name is a spoof on the famous Boux - an international climbing destination in France.a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjvnaph-aVQ2GOAfwSAVp_XfP8bNy3eHUsBxdZ_7cBh2LBqlH130PDBY9Mls_fPOCb80a8vbETWBF_YkuKYrQHi0k3PjdSn7GmSUO0e0Cn00H2m-o8sp2XX7uXd-nQAOiuzfwNvXHVevG42/s1600-h/IMG_1236.jpg">
Soooo, Pous is pronouned Pukes. Yes, Pukes. Haha!
This area has more limestone climbing that it looks as one whizzes by on I-70. And it was pretty fun. I especially liked the "hike" in. It took maybe three minutes which made my foot very happy.
I TR'd three pitches before whimpering into defeat from foot pain. Dave did a bit more. Fun stuff really.
We then headed further west to Grand Junction. We set up camp in the Monument. We got a choice site as well - the view was beautiful.
It was really nice getting away from town and work and the phone and the computer, etc. We should do this more!
