Comments: Thought this climb went 11b/c. Cruised through the 1st pitch and took a tiny rest before poping up to the finger lock in the entrance of the chimney. Clipped the bolt in between the crux and pushed through the flake to good jugs above! Definitely one of my favorite lines on Scout Rock! 3 stars in my opinion!

Comments: Wow, tried doing this line clean after 3 lines here and (Jester nor the bat cave) helped one bit. Super sweet line with more then enough spicy to compare with jalepeno! Good beta would help, but then what's the fun in that??

Comments: The bottom of P1 is covered but goes another 20 or so feet down.

Comments: Wow, great line up pretty decent rock. Plan on cleaning both this and 1976 up for future climbing! Lovin' the BTC!

Comments: Sounds good Al. I'm definitely going to give that variation a try! We were a bit confused when we climbed this, but it makes sense now with the White Area being 10a S. Stellar climb though definitely diggin' the trad lines here. Seems like theres a lot of people that don't give BTC credit which makes for a great non-crowded area! Great job on all your FAs!

Comments: Thought that maybe the steel rod for the first piece of pro had something to do with the flood, so I thought 1976 would fit this line. Good climbing to a nice belay!

Comments: Did this the other day with phil and delicately loved it! Super thin moves and had a great time figuring out the beta! My fav next to the Sunshine Dihedral.

Comments: Loved this route! Fell at the crux but dialed in the moves and am definately comming back for the redpoint! Super pumpy lie backs to the top of the roof! Must do in the Vrain!

Comments: Seems like most could get all the beta they need from the previous comments, but it's no lie this is a classic! My favorite climb in Eldo! A must in this difficulty range!!

Comments: Phil and I finished the day off with this great line and loved it! Great first 10 lead in Eldo for Phil! Kudos man! But definitely thought it's a climb I'd do over and over! Pretty delicate after the stub 10ft from the start of the tiny dihedral! A must do!

Comments: Thought this line was awsome! Did this after a warm up on sister morphine and thought it would be an easy walk up due to the stellar feet and hands but soon realized I was wrong! Got to the top pumped up as a bike tire and barely topped out! Super fun route super pumpy!

Comments: Greg, I didn't see it around and know how that feels, brother! I'm out of Loveland and have an extra BD Guide I'm not using if you'd like to have it? Let's get out on a climb soon and I'll hook it up for you, man!

Comments: Did this yesterday with Scotty, Phil, and Erin. Great route and thought every hold was sold! There is a nice edge above the roof and a great left edge just above the mantle type move! Solid route 95 percent clean there was a couple holds mid way that seemed a smidge hollow. 2 thumbs up!!

Comments: Did this yesterday with Scotty, Phil and Erin. Killer line thought there was two cruxes one right before the shallow seam and right at the roof making the move to the nice left jug a couple feet above the last bolt! Definitely a must do line!!

Comments: Scotty and I attempted to pull this one off tonight. Started the approach around 6.30pm scotty lead the first pitch quckly and I followed with similar speed. [Good job, Scotty.] I lead the second and got through everything up to the pinnacle below the arete. I managed to get the first 3 bolts then struggled with the next 3 or 4. Got to the 2nd bolt below the anchors and ran it out to the final bolt below the anchors. [Very very delicate climbing. Gravity hates you right now] scotty lead the 3rd ... more >>

Comments: Great route climbed the poison ivy infested gully to some 4th class climbing then from the top rappeled to the first set of bolts. Left that rope then with another rapped to the bottom bolt 10 or so ft from the river. Set up a Tyrolean traverse from that bolt across the river and top roped both pitches with a group of friends! Stellar climbing and an awesome atmosphere!

Comments: Definitely a 12d. I toproped it and believe it would be a bit harder on lead! The crux is the move right after the first bolt, sweet climb!

Comments: Primo route fell a couple of times and felt the crux was killer as in killer bees! I think this needs to be climbed by someone that's solid on twelves to officially rate it. I believe 11c/d but am questionable? Solid climb and very dynamic! 2 thumbs up!

Comments: Great route, really run-out after the last bolt but all the moves are there! Was wondering why there weren't bolts for this climb at the top, had to share the anchor with "Introducing Meteor Dad". Overall good moves thought the crux was about mid-way up through the left-facing dihedral! Pretty thin hands and smeary feet! 2 thumbs up!

Comments: Diggin' this route, felt a bit sketchy at times but good moves up to the finish! Kinda run-out on a couple of bolts! Good lead, Scotty, I'd agree with you on being a fav this year!
