By: Hammertime When: Aug 24, 2006 | view comment >> | Comments: The descent you use on PG determines the level of commitment and the "alpine" classification of the climb: The Gash descent is much longer and somewhat tricky to find, but it is a walk-off and therefore safer than rappelling. The new bolted rap-superhighway turns the climb into a casual roadside outing similar to something in Eldorado, especially if you consider rappelling not to be dangerous. How do I know that the descent makes the difference? As I topped out after the run-out seventh pitch ca... more >>

Location: CO : Boulder : Flatirons : North : Third Flatiron : East Face Left (5.5)
By: Hammertime When: Aug 18, 2006 | view comment >> | Comments: The route is 7 pitches with 60-m rope. I agree with Warren, the route goes near the left edge of the face. The edge has some good gear and exciting exposure. Half-way up, the edge has the bolted top anchor of a sport-climb (Shoyu State). There are adequate belays (at least 2 bomber pieces) on every pitch, just don't use up all cams of the same size during the pitch... We used a lot of Aliens and a few nuts, and we wished we had a #2 Cam several times (only brought up to #1). To overc... more >>

Location: CO : Alpine Rock : Mt. Evans : The Aprons : 2nd Apron Right Side (5.7)
By: Hammertime When: Aug 16, 2006 | view comment >> | Comments: This route is slabby, and in places run-out. There are a few trickier moves up thin grooves and lay-backs with far-enough pro that a 5.4 leader would be terrified. So, while I agree with Shad that this is not sustained 5.7, make sure you can lead 5.7 granite before heading up this climb. 5 pitches, no need for cams above #1, bring a lot of small cams, Aliens, and medium nuts.

By: Hammertime When: Aug 16, 2006 | view comment >> | Comments: I think the first pitch is the crux, at 5.6 or so. You can see that the climb is slabby, not really a crack-climb. There is no finger or hand-jamming, just grooves and just enough small cracks for pro.
