Comments: I posted a couple of pics of this route below that I'm pretty sure is Island Express. The Hubbel guide confroozed the hell out of me. Regardless, if you head for the general area you'll find this "runout" express. One bolt to the first belay, three bolts and one hella runout to the second. Real easy slabby route, the runout section makes it worth while. I freakin love South Platte runouts so I'll give it a star just for that.

Comments: A friend and I climbed this route on Sunday and found it to be a great line. Perfect for people who are getting into 5.10'ish sport routes. This was my first time climbing at CCC and chose High Wire from a recommendation. I had a blast BTW. Anyway, unless I missed the crux by some odd twist of fate, I too found the 10 b/c rating a tad high. Of course we all have our opinions on ratings but it felt more like a 9+/10 to me. As far as the rope thing goes. My climbing partner and I tried lowering wi... more >>
