Bridge Mountain (Red Rocks, Nevada)



The southern flank of Bridge Mountain features several low-angeled buttresses that don't look like much from afar. The far left is known as the Spectrum Area. There are seveal moderate multipitch routes on the buttress (as well as a few harder ones), with Birdland having the best reputation.

Trip report:

We really wanted to do Crimson Chrysalis, but I had the flu and was not up to something that long, so we turned to Birdland as Plan B, which turned out to be very nice.
