Location: CA : Tahquitz & Suicide Rocks : Suicide Rock : Sunshine Face : Sunshine Face - Right Side : Iron Cross (5.11a)
By: ChugachMan When: Sep 20, 2010 | view comment >> | Comments: Again, no pitons on P1 as of 9.18.2010. Definitely need some pretty good small gear to protect P1. Fantastic climbing on P1, and especially P2, but a fall on P1 could have bad results as gear is tricky to place.

By: ChugachMan When: Oct 26, 2009 | view comment >> | Comments: Fun route to do while waiting for Heart of Darkness if someone is on it. If you're careful, and set it up right, can counterweight rap off top of crack instead of going to HoD chains... make sure you have it setup so it won't roll off though!

Location: CA : Joshua Tree National Park : Sheep Pass Area : Oyster Bar Area : Conrad Rock : ... : Heart of Darkness (5.10d)
By: ChugachMan When: Oct 26, 2009 | view comment >> | Comments: Funny, for my hand size I say Mt. Woodson's Jaws is easier... still, 11a seemed about right for me. Fun climb - wish JTree had more and longer splitters like this!

Location: CA : The Needles / Kern River : The Needles : The Charlatan : Bad Fortune (5.11c)
By: ChugachMan When: Sep 8, 2009 | view comment >> | Comments: The 11c crux on the first pitch is probably more 11a for those blessed with gangly arms and height.

Location: CA : The Needles / Kern River : The Needles : The Witch : Igor Unchained (5.9+)
By: ChugachMan When: Aug 24, 2009 | view comment >> | Comments: I agree with Andy, I'd say the grades of all three pitches are about the same, and although you can do it on one, having the two sets isn't a horrible idea - especially if you want to do it in about two pitches. And, best of all, Margee is amazing as are her mint cookies.

Location: CA : Tahquitz & Suicide Rocks : Tahquitz Rock : Northwest Recess : The Consolation (5.9)
By: ChugachMan When: Aug 10, 2009 | view comment >> | Comments: Probably my new favourite route on the NW recess. Did in 5 pitches, with comfy belays, and the straight up Long finish (not going right as the guidebook says). I think what is the crux pitch is largely dependent on hand size - but either way never get's harder than 5.9.

Location: CA : Tahquitz & Suicide Rocks : Tahquitz Rock : Maiden Buttress : The Illegitimate (5.9)
By: ChugachMan When: Jun 7, 2009 | view comment >> | Comments: I feel like we must have been a little high on our "improbable traverse" as we traversed across a very lichen full overhanging flake just a couple feet under the roof. It looked like maybe the real "improbable traverse" was about ten feet below that? I ended up traversing to about 8 feet below a tree in the crack system 20' to the right, and belayed from that tree (no "down to a stance" bit). The move around seemed more like a mid-10 move, and the rock didn't seem to have as much traffic once y... more >>

Location: UT : Moab Area : Indian Creek : Scarface : Your Mama (5.10+)
By: ChugachMan When: Apr 30, 2009 | view comment >> | Comments: To PhilT, "Where's Caruthers" is between this and scarface...
There's many options for protection on this route... if taking the left crack at the base, 0.75 camalots wil get you to the first pod. If taking the right side, start with a 0.75 or 1, then some 2's and 3's depending on how much gear you want. For the rest of the route, toss in some big gear here and there, or just use red camalots in the crack that runs up the back of the route (with some runners)... great route, with fun moves an... more >>

By: ChugachMan When: Jun 30, 2008 | view comment >> | Comments: Does anyone know anything about what is called "testosterone crack" on the topo here? It's labelled at 10a, but if you avoid stemming off the formation to the left, I'd put it in the eleven or maybe even easy 12 range... there doesn't seem to be any more information on this route listed.

By: ChugachMan When: Apr 8, 2008 | view comment >> | Comments: anybody know what the bolted route in blue is called? We rapped in and climbed the second pitch, which I'd put in the 9- to 10a range (by the way, if you're not feeling like running it out, bring a couple nuts and a 0.5 camalot to avoid a runout between the 2 and 3 bolts), but I didn't climb the first pitch due to the sketchy start... looked great though...

By: ChugachMan When: Apr 8, 2008 | view comment >> | Comments: My friend Taryn experienced the ants on lead on April 5th, but when I followed I saw a total of four! I think she carried them all to the top crawling all over her... does anybody know what the bolted route about 40 feet to the right of this is called (marked in blue on Tony's map)? It goes up the face, and I'd guess the upper part is in the 9- or 10a range (we didn't climb the lower part though)... it's a sweet route, and a bit heady if you don't bring a couple pieces of gear to place between t... more >>

Location: CA : San Diego County : Santee Boulders : Moby Dick Area : Beehive Boulders : Iron Cross (V3)
By: ChugachMan When: Dec 17, 2007 | view comment >> | Comments: Another fun option is (assuming you have the reach) to dyno from the "iron cross" position - stetched out, to the top ledge. This can be done in the iron-cross position from bottom to top, using the left side of masochists as one foot, the small crack on the right as the other, with hands working up from these positions until being in masochists and on the right knobs.

Location: CA : Tahquitz & Suicide Rocks : Tahquitz Rock : West Face : West Face - Left Side : Gallwas' Gallop (5.9+)
By: ChugachMan When: Jul 30, 2007 | view comment >> | Comments: This is a fun and challenging pitch with interesting moves and varying styles. Small cams (down to blue and black aliens) and nuts are definately recommended, but there is plenty of protection when you need it - just be a good leader and make sure you use pro opportunities when you see them! These pitches can also be linked to within scrambling height of the top using a 60m (to a large tree anchor), though the follower might have to tear down the anchor and move up a few feet while the leader m... more >>
