Comments: Super short, like the rest of the hollow, but a quality addition. Felt easier than Zig-Zag?
Anchor takes a while to figure out.

Comments: Good call Chris. Would have been interesting, to say the least.

Mr. Thompson, do you know who S.P.L.T. Image is? He has done a fair few services for the Wisconsin climbing community.

Comments: I'm popping some popcorn for this response. Might I suggest moving it to the forum for the general amusement of all?

Comments: Straight up the face was some big moves, but solid and about v1 or so. Starting in the crack to the left instead of traversing left was my favorite line on this boulder, although it was a bit harder. I'd say v2 at worst though.

Nice pic, btw. Fantastic route, even in this hot weather.

Comments: I know you could climb this on the face, but why would you want to? Those jams are really nice. Great route to teach crack climbing with.

Comments: You can take the early exit left and hit the chains for An Eye For An Eye. I wouldn't suggest it, as the route gets pretty damn awesome by that roof. Also, there was a huge and funky bee or wasp or hornet hive thing by the anchors, so we took the overhanging crack left of the anchors. 5.7ish stuff on junky rock with decent pro. Fantastic route in my book.

Comments: Did you guys take a look at the arete/crack to the right of this?

Awesome addition to the Hollow, that place has tons of potential yet.

Comments: Slightly easier if you go around the corner right after the mantle, especially for shorter climbers.

Comments: I'm sorry, I missed that comment. I'm not saying green zipper is 5.3. I'm saying above the green zipper on the map is a 5.3 route called the easy tower route. Sorry for the mix up.

Comments: Came in to Colorado, first day out went to Lumpy and got hit HARD with altitude sickness. However, we pushed forward and hit this climb. Definitely a suggested climb. I thought the crux pitch was pitch one, but I did take a while to get used to granite. You Colorado folks sure are lucky to have this stuff in your backyard.

Comments: These routes are a little shorter than the other stuff in this area, so these make good warm-ups for newer climbers.
