July 11, 2007 :: Town of Limon, Colorado
MAP
Town of Limon, Colorado - Home: "Welcome To Limon, Colorado"
My Email to the Town of Limon this morning:
I have driven through your town three times, and stayed in a hotel there on two occasions. As a contributor to at least some taxes to your town, I feel I have earned a modicum of right to email you to answer a quick question on Limon to settle a disagreement between a friend and I.
When spoken, does Limon sound like "lee-mon" "lye-mon" and which syllable is the emphasis on, the first or second (LEE-mon or lee-MON)?
If you can provide any words that sound like the way most Limon-ians pronounce the town's name, that would also be helpful. For example, Toano, VA is pronounced TOE-ANN-oh (First two syllables stressed), but no words I can think of rhyme with it.
Thanks.
-Mark
And their quick response:
It is pronounced like LYE-mon
I was right!

May 20, 2007 :: Climbing at Great Falls, VA - Romeo's Ladder

MAP
Loved a decent couple hours here climbing Romeo's Ladder and doing some good crack climbing. Romeo's Ladder is at 38.99090°N / 77.2486°W (See sat photo on google maps)
SummitPost - Romeo's Ladder -- Climbing, Hiking & Mountaineering
The Romeo’s Ladder crag is adjacent to Seclusion and separated only by an interesting crack and a short wall, but the two crags are quite different in character. Seclusion, which rises directly from the Potomac River and towers above it, offers a bit of Great Falls at its wildest and most spectacular. Romeo’s Ladder, though it is home to some of Great Falls’ most popular and most challenging climbs, is set back a few yards from the river and seems somehow quieter and tamer, and the cliffs are a little lower, reaching about 40 feet in height. But don’t let that keep you away from the nice climbing opportunities there.
As is the case elsewhere in the park, toproping is the predominant climbing style here, but leads are feasibly on routes such as Delivery Room and Romeo's Ladder.
As a look at the next section’s list of routes can tell you, there isn’t much here for beginners and scramblers. There are, though, a few options, which will be detailed after the routes list."
