Location: CA : The Needles / Kern River : The Needles : The Witch : Terrorvision (5.11 PG13)
By: Bob Rotert When: Feb 24, 2013 | view comment >> | Comments: This is a classic that lived up to its name for me when I did it back in 1984. I had a very memorable and humbling incident on this route when My partner fell on the traverse of the second pitch. I had found no anchor at the end of my lead out of the second pitch so I was only wedged into a firm stance in the water groove above. Unfortunately when she fell she pendulemed over the edge of the arête and swung out into free space. With no way to Lower her except into free space. And really no wa... more >>

Location: CO : Grand Junction area : Colorado National Monument : Sentinel Spire : Medicine Man (5.12b)
By: Bob Rotert When: Jul 25, 2012 | view comment >> | Comments: Very beautiful route, and I think it's one of the best in the Monument.
The crux pitch is a classic example of where individual climber hand size is going to push the grade one way or another. It will be much harder for folks with larger hands and would be much, much, easier for thinner hands. The difficulty factor really changes depending on how your hands fit the crack.

Location: CO : Boulder : Eldorado Canyon SP : Rincon : Rincon - L of Center Route : Climb Of The Century (5.11b)
By: Bob Rotert When: Apr 11, 2012 | view comment >> | Comments: If you have confidence in the gear or are able to get good gear in reasonably quickly, that helps.
I can see the opinion of a rating drop or raise a letter grade for the individual ascent depending on how well the leader gets the gear in and how much confidence they have in the gear placed. When led, the climb has a bit of gear and head factor that can add to the pure technical difficulty. The small cams you can get on this seem pretty good. Some people have total confidence in micro cams and a... more >>

Location: NC : Stone Mountain : Stone Mountain South Face : Pandora's Way (5.9)
By: Bob Rotert When: Apr 4, 2012 | view comment >> | Comments: I think a bolt may have been added to the first pitch of this. Originally the first pitch went up to a bit of a bowel for the belay. I believe it already had an old bolt in it left by some rappelling effort in the past. We were wondering what kind of trouble we were climbing into on this one so we named it Pandora's way.
It was the second of three new route's put up one 3 day Easter Weekend when Tom and I were in high school. 1973 I believe. The first was Electric Boobs, second this route and t... more >>

Location: CO : Boulder : Upper Dream Canyon : Oceanic Wall : Leviathan (5.11d)
By: Bob Rotert When: Sep 10, 2011 | view comment >> | Comments: Thoughtful moves and balancy climbing. Although rated the same. I didn't think it compared in difficulty to Black Lagoon. Black Lagoon felt at least a letter grade or two harder to me. Maybe by just moving left a bit at the bolt for the crux it makes it easier? I found some small finger tip edges and I think ended up standing up on the good flat hold with my right foot and then doing a balancy foot shuffle to clip the next bolt. I remember very little for the hands once your standing on the fl... more >>

Location: CO : Boulder : Boulder Canyon : Castle Rock : The Gill Crack (5.12a)
By: Bob Rotert When: Aug 12, 2011 | view comment >> | Comments: I remember being up at Castle Rock alone one afternoon, it's the early eighties, I'm bouldering laps on The Gill Crack.
Alex Lowe shows up. "Damn, Bobby!" "You bouldering that thing?" he says.
Feeling good and a bit smug. "Yea" I say. It's not too bad as long as you get the top sequence of jams right. I give him the finishing right, left, right, jam sequence beta. This is so you end with right hand on the top hold and are able to reach out left with your left hand to Burnt Crack for the fini... more >>

Location: CO : Empire : Ra : Higher Calling (5.11d)
By: Bob Rotert When: Aug 7, 2011 | view comment >> | Comments: Awesome route, Mark and Richard!! Thanks for all your hard work in developing this area. This is one of my favorite routes on the crag!! Superb, with great, continous climbing on every pitch. Doesn't get much better than this one up at Ra and one of the best sport routes in the front range.
IMHO the last pitch is the crux pitch. The sustained nature makes it harder than the second pitch to me. Make sure you depump from the second pitch before starting up this one. Holds may be good, except a... more >>
