Comments: For supplemental gear, I use a #0.75, and #1 C4, and the black Metolius curved nut.

Comments: I didn't use any additional gear. The guidebook says to bring a few small cams. They may be useful between bolts 3 and 4 and 4 and 5 if you are shorter. For me, a fall before clipping bolt 4 would have been a hard swing into the wall below, and I couldn't reach bolt 5 from the ledge. I also had difficulty reaching some of the holds in bolts 6 to 7 section. I suspect those who are shorter are the ones who rate the climb 11. If you are taller, it will seem easier.

Comments: If you have small hands and narrow feet like I do, this will mostly be an offwidth climb, with only a few hand/fist jams.

Location: CO : Boulder : Flatirons : Central : Backporch : East Face/Back Porch (5.6)
By: Christina kalb When: Aug 8, 2010 | view comment >> |
Comments: I enjoyed the climb. I didn't think it was any more run out than the typical Flatirons. The gear was a little more creative, but solid, so it might not be the best climb for a beginner leader.

Comments: The bolt/piton rap anchor at the top is set in partially hollow rock. Be careful. I highly recommend moving the anchor slightly south on the rock so that it is set in better rock (if you know how to drill bolts), or bringing a longer 80 m rope and slinging the large boulder at the top for the rappel (this may prove difficult in pulling the rope down though). I would not recommend trusting the bolt/piton at the top.

Comments: I am a bit shorter and thought that 11b was accurate. Some added height would have made it much easier (I couldn't reach the crimp off to the side of the roof that was really good). So my suggestion...if you are tall, you may find this slightly easier than 11b.

Location: WY : Vedauwoo : Plumb Line Crag : Plumb Line (5.9+)

Comments: I think crack ratings are very dependent on hand size. I too thought it was a bit harder than 5.9+.

Comments: I took a #6 Camalot, and it worked great in the offwidth section.

By: Christina kalb When: Oct 27, 2008 | view comment >> |
Comments: This is a decent climb. The gear near the bottom is good, but is a bit sparse at the top. Climbing at the top becomes much easier. I used the crack for my feet, and the crimps on the face above the crack at the crux! Bolted anchor at the top.

Comments: Good route. If you have small hands, watch out...the top section becomes an off-hands, not quite fists crack. Small gear at the bottom.

Comments: I found the climbing on this route to be really awkward, and the holds slippery. I didn't really enjoy it.

Location: CO : Estes Park Valley : Big Thompson Canyon : Combat Rock : Saigon to Pearl Harbor (5.10d)

Comments: I agree...I thought pitch 1 was harder than pitch 2. I also thought that most of the crux moves of pitch 2 were near the bolts, and didn't need to place any extra gear on pitch 2. I followed pitch 1, but found the roof to be difficult and VERY AWKWARD. Pitch 2 was definitely worth pulling the ugly roof though.

Comments: The difficulty of this route depends on how you climb it. Traverse a bit left of the 2nd bolt for a 5.8 climb, or go right, for a harder 5.9 or 5.10 version.

Comments: Great Route!!! Balancy, with a great variety of moves. I would recommend a mantle of some sorts to get past the crux!

Location: UT : Moab Area : Indian Creek : Supercrack Buttress : Incredible Hand Crack (5.10c)
By: Christina kalb When: May 21, 2008 | view comment >> |
Comments: I have small hands, and the crack was shaky hands or off hands for me. I could not get a good jam over the roof at all. I would give this a solid 5.10 rating. Still a great route though

Comments: Bring slings if you plan to clip every bolt. Bolts zigzag up this route resulting in serious rope drag

Comments: This was a fun route...but, serious rope drag towards the top. A long sling on the bottom 2 or 3 bolts would help this problem, but leave you in serious trouble of decking if you are not comfortable with slabby 5.10
