Comments: The bolts are 3/8". I can't guarantee success, but rather than trying to pull old bolts on my routes, you may try pounding them into the hole. I tended to over drill on the depth on my earlier routes. A lot of them have enough depth to bury into the rock and then epoxy over with some dust to blend with the natural color. If you try to pull them, there could be considerably more surface damage.
Of course, if I'm wrong, you'll be cursing me for the 1/2 inch shiny thing sticking out. :)

Comments: Andy... as you see the wall has a redness to it... the naming of which was due to Brian Mullen. He is known for frequent off color (no pun intended) route naming. Just look at FA records of Shelf and San Louis Valley climbs. Why he would name it that still baffles me. Facebook him, he's there, and ask. If you find out, I'd be interested to hear as well.

Comments: The original and what seemed to be the most aesthetic boulder problem, put up at the Spray Boulder isn't diagrammed here. It starts on the "Spray Standard Left" holds and follows the obvious jugs until it is possible to drop the right hand to the one pad "Spray Prow" holds on the prow. The left hand reaches over to the next beautiful horizontal and you know how it goes from there. It's the finest set of moves on the boulder, IMHO. It's called "Always The Master".
BTW, The Head Banger was fir... more >>

Comments: Whoa... I can hardly believe that this would ever be reported. As the name suggests, Jim called this "Ungrateful Pig". A fitting epithet following the slog we did through several inches of snow to do this route.

Comments: The rating... who knows. I just know that when I put it up, Richard Aschert and I both thought it was 12d, and we were tweaking Shelf thin piss holds pretty well then.

Comments: Most excellent send, Mark. Let the climbing world never underestimate the power of a man with a full time job, a wife, and a beautiful new baby.

Comments: Perfect timing to heat it up at the crag and then: cool off at 8,000 ft. with the river waiting below. 11 Mile is definitely the spot for great climbing with no crowd and short approaches.
Most excellent, Ben.... The cover looks stellar!!! It's gonna sell out fast.

Comments: It does my heart good to see you hit the hardest route at Shelf thus far. Great Job! It's a true contribution and one that will lead to something harder still.
Logan has good reason to be proud!
