Location: UT : Moab Area : State Highway 313 : Sunset Tower (5.8 C2)
By: Bret Ruckman When: Jan 23, 2012 | view comment >> | Comments: On April 20, 2001, Marco Cornacchione was able to free climb Sunset Tower. After working the first pitch on several days, spread out over perhaps a year, he was able to put his project "to rest". He "French freed" the first pitch, then top-roped it, then pulled the rope and led it clean, placing all gear on lead in perfect style.

We nicknamed that trip the "cruel crusade" because we were constantly getting bouted by the weather--snow, wind and cold the whole time, except for the clear and cold day that we climbed this route. On the previous chilly day, after we climbed the Caldron, I got on the first pitch of "Dude" and checked out whether it could go free or not. A huge wedge-shaped block guarded the crux.

Location: CO : Boulder : Boulder Canyon : Vampire Rock : Stage Fright (5.11a)
By: Bret Ruckman When: Aug 28, 2008 | view comment >> | Comments: The other day I led the thrilling left finish (that Joe mentioned above), thinking that was the normal route. It was probably mid-5.11 and kind of spicy, but high quality.
