By: Ben Hicks When: Nov 22, 2012 | view comment >> | Comments: Somewhat dubious bolts, rusty and second or third bolt hanger is loose. I placed a couple stoppers behind a semi loose flake and alligator plating at the top of the arete before moving right to the rap anchor. Not bomber placements due to rock quality.
Somewhat friable holds, wondering if a foot hold broke off. There is a spot where something obviously used to be there but is no longer.

I indeed got a bomber #4 Camalot at the top of the crack where it widens climbing up into the pod under the overhang. Then really fun moves to turn and pop over the roof.

Location: CO : Boulder : Eldorado Canyon SP : Shirt Tail Peak : Cro-Magnon aka The Tail (5.10a)
By: Ben Hicks When: Sep 11, 2012 | view comment >> | Comments: Good adventure climbing, Patrik lead the funky first pitch, circuitous, wandering up, right and up, and right and up. Seems like pro is where you need it if you are creative. Look out for some wasps in a thin crack!
Second pitch, Good climbing if you are solid at the grade, but I would not recommend this for someone's first 5.10 lead! Expect some moderate run outs and having to work on some of the pro. Would be a banner pitch if the rock was truly solid and placements a bit more bomber. It mig... more >>
