Comments: Needs some more cleaning I pulled off a football sized rock at the top with zero effort.I also felt like the hollow flakes were going to peel off and hit my belayer.Good movement but so-so rock.

Comments: Looks like crap and you have to climb a fixed rope up 40 ft of choss to get to the base, but the rock and movement are both great, super fun!

Comments: I thought the 13- grade was if you climbed from the rocker block to the base of the slot non-stop in one 215 ft pitch.

Comments: Whatever this line is, it's way harder than the Citadel, V9? V10? Anyone have a guess? The Citadel took me about 20 min to do. This thing shut me down.

Comments: It was easy to avoid the major crank off the fingertip mono, there are plenty of "good" two finger pockets. And no I don't have little girl hands.

Comments: Drunk rednecks ripped the face off with motorcycle tie downs one maybe two years ago.I personally saw the tie downs wrapped around the rock along with tons of beer cans burnt up gas cans and other trash.Cleaned it up some but i could only fit so much in my car.

Location: CO : Idaho Springs : Swissco By: heppnerd When: Aug 16, 2009 | view comment >> |
Comments: Swissco has to be one of the most scenic places I have bouldered other than that it's only so-so. There are only about 5 or 6 decent blocks with a hand full of climbs. Pretty area, but I will not be returning. Rainbow Road is 3.1 miles to the Reservoir and took 25 minutes and a high clearance vehicle is mandatory. IMHO, hike the right (east) side of the reservoir to the creek at the far end, cross over here to a well worn trail (left or west side of creek). Follow this trail staying between the ... more >>

Location: UT : Zion National Park : Red Arch Mountain : Wigs in Space (5.11) By: heppnerd When: Dec 17, 2008 | view comment >> |
Comments: I thought this route was a little dirty and loose but overall very fun. There are a couple of junk pitches for sure, p2 is pure crap after that fun and varied. All the anchors are GREAT thanks to whoever put in the work.The bombay pitch was way fun not near as hard as it looked. Bolting the face to avoid this great feature seems silly,climb the chimney itll be ok trust me... We had to bail midway on p7 lazy partner left the extra rope at the base of the bombay something about being too fat and ... more >>

Location: CA : Yosemite National Park : Yosemite Valley : El Capitan Base Routes : Freeblast (5.11) By: heppnerd When: Aug 14, 2008 | view comment >> |
Comments: I thought this climb sucked I hope the rest of freerider is better. We did beggars buttress and the rostrum on the same trip both were way better. Maybe my expectations were too high for freeblast but considering the location and history you can understand why. Most of the climbing was forgetable awkward or just plain blah.

Comments: If camping, don't filter water from the stream. I have heard it's full of heavy metals from the old mines above Montezuma.
