Location: CO : Boulder : Boulder Canyon : Easter Rock : Thunderdome (5.12a)
By: Dougald MacDonald When: Jul 16, 2002 | view comment >> | Comments: I don't think the block above the roof is much to worry about -- I knocked on it hard (and pulled on it hard), and it seems really wedged in. Now watch me get sued!!
Great climb: pumpier than it looks up to the roof, cool moves over the roof (easier if you're not short), another very hard move, then great 5.10 to the top. Now for the redpoint.....

Location: CO : Canon City : Shelf Road : Cactus Cliff : Gravitations (5.11d)
By: Dougald MacDonald When: May 23, 2002 | view comment >> | Comments: I agree: This is the best route of its grade at Cactus and maybe at all of Shelf. The run-outs are intimidating, but a handful of small to medium cams allows you to protect between the well-spaced bolts. Many ways to climb this -- all pumpy as hell!

Location: CO : Boulder : Boulder Canyon : Lower Dream Canyon : Plotinus Wall : ... : Golden Slumber (5.10d)
By: Dougald MacDonald When: May 22, 2002 | view comment >> | Comments: Just for the record: I did the first ascent of this route sometime in 2000 with Dave Goldstein, entirely on natural gear. We thought it was 5.10+ or easy 5.11, and we would have given it an S rating for the loose rock near the bottoms and the sketchy traverse into the corner, past what is now the third bolt. I didn't name it.
I climbed right of Bob's line after the third bolt, staying in the obvious corners. In my opinion, this is more fun and logical climbing than the way it is bolted, ... more >>

Location: CO : Alpine Rock : RMNP - Rock : Otis Peak : Zowie : South Face (5.8+)
By: Dougald MacDonald When: Apr 16, 2002 | view comment >> | Comments: Since George mentioned my variation, Kate Bartlett and I climbed a fine variation to the initial pitches on the South Face, in 1996 I think. It climbs the flatiron-like face to the right of the obvious left-facing corner on the right side of the south face. (Rossiter has it going up the corner -- this isn't what we climbed, though it looks OK.) What we climbed was a pitch and a half of fun, somewhat run-out 5.8 face climbing -- no scarier than the offwidth at the top of the route. Start ... more >>
