Calico Hills February 2026 with Mike

Flew to Vegas on February 26, 2026 to climb with Mike T. He drove down from Montana. We both got there around noon so had a few hours to climb. We drove to the second pullout from the scenic loop road and climbed a handful of routes at Calico Hills in the Black Corridor area.

Idiot Parade (5.10c) - Short but interesting, not the greatest warm-up. We both fell at the crux near the third clip.

Vagabonds (5.10a) - Pretty chill.

Foe (5.11a) - I tried to go straight through the bulge rather than traverse around it to the left. I fell during my first attempt at this move, then succeeded with a heel hook out left on the second try. The climbing is easier after the bulge.
