Location: CO : Estes Park Valley : Lumpy Ridge : The Book : The Pages Wall Area : Osiris (5.7)

And I downright hated Osiris. I'll go out on a limb and say it was possibly the least enjoyable climb of my life (and I climbed it on a beautiful day with beautiful people.)

By: brat When: Sep 22, 2008 | view comment >> | Comments: September 21, 2008 two Japanese climbers were stung extensively while doing the original route (not the "50 Crowded Variation".) Apparently there is a beehive in the chimneys, though they didn't say which pitch. Beware!

Location: International : New Zealand : South Island : Paynes Ford
By: brat When: Dec 26, 2007 | view comment >> | Comments: To get to Paynes Ford, let's assume you're starting in Nelson:
Follow signs to Richmond (I think you'll be on Hwy. 6, heading roughly west). When you get to Richmond, follow signs to Motueka. When you get to Mot, follow signs to Takaka. (If you must stop in Mot, there's a darling little independent theatre, I think it's called the Gecko or something like that.) You'll go up and over the Takaka Hill (bring water for your radiator if you car is so inclined). Driving time from Nelson is about ... more >>
