By: Joseph P. Crotty When: Feb 18, 2013 | view comment >> | Comments: Nothing reliable natural pro wise is available. A few inches above where the pin was you can place a #1 Camalot, but the rib of rock the outer lobes would set against is friable. Additionally, it's a shallow placement, and the rock undulates a bit making lobe engagement tricky. I always had trouble clipping the pin. The extra reach to place the cam may make it super desperate, and then it probably won't hold anyways.

By: Joseph P. Crotty When: Feb 17, 2013 | view comment >> | Comments: The old, P1 crux, inverted knifeblade was replaced 2013-02-22 with a like-for-like permit from ECSP. The old pin failed on a pull test with a hammer, and when it came out, the rock broke where it was placed. The new BD #1 knifeblade is about a foot away from the old one but a bit lower and about 4 o'clock from the old one. It does not significantly alter the difficulty as setting up from the lip to clip is still difficult given the high footing.

By: Joseph P. Crotty When: Jul 8, 2012 | view comment >> | Comments: I can't resist and just have to chime in here.
I attempted 'Over the Rainbow' in the late '80s, probably 1988, with a friend who lived in Manitou Springs. The route was in a guidebook by John Harlin that had climbs from many areas in the Western USA. I had climbed previously, I think, twice at the Garden and enjoyed it. I had long dreamed that OTR was a classic and as being it was the longest line then on North Gateways' West face was determined to send it.

By: Joseph P. Crotty When: Jun 24, 2012 | view comment >> | Comments: There are two standard rappel descents for the Black Wall; Rappel Route and D'Antonio Rappel. Either can be used to access any route on the wall, however, the D'Antonio rap requires double 60m ropes.
Rappel Route - Use to access Cannonball Corner and anything climber's left of there; Road Warrior, Good Evans and Cary Granite. A single 60m or 70m works. 70m preferred. See photo below.
- Find long chains on a block sitting right along the edge. Rap right and stay...

By: Joseph P. Crotty When: Apr 17, 2012 | view comment >> | Comments: Jesse, let's get this straight. What I am hearing is that the old bolts were chopped (i.e. heads sawed off) and new holes drilled and new bolts put in next to the chopped ones?
