Comments: Chris used a pad for Zulu I am sure, just when he got shot on the route he takes the pad off, it's not as if the shots are of him actually sending....
However, in this video, you can see Adam Ondra using knee pads while climbing.

Comments: Reality: within the canyon, the ratings are consistent.
Reality: compared to the most sandbagged crag in the country (give or take), the grades are soft.

Comments: How is Rifle relevant to grades in Clear Creek Canyon? Compare this route to other routes in the canyon, besides grades are so God damn subjective anyway, is it really that important?

Comments: JJNS,
Have you been on Easy Skankin'?
The kneebar on that route is both excellent and it's actually comfortable....
And the route is just F$%^ing awesome to add to it, long, sustained 12b.

Location: CO : Golden : Clear Creek Canyon : The Dog House : Mighty Dog (5.12c)

Comments: Mr. Nick, I am 100% with you.
Using Mighty Dog as comparison, WHAT??? the softest 12c in the canyon....
Mighty Dog is not 13a, compare it to Sonic Youth, now post broken hold widely accepted 13a, or Anarchitect (spelling unsure) stiff 12d, or Pizza Dick, 12c all three routes harder than Mighty Dog.
Either way, ratings are so subjective they are just a starting point, and it's not as if any of us 12/13 climbers are getting sponsored.

Matt said he sent this route, but have you done it, too?

Comments: One idea that seems to keep draws where they are: Rapid links. tighten them down TIGHT! Makes them hard enough to remove so that it isn't worth it for the rouge jackass.
Though someone did steal not only a draw (rapid link + sling + biner), but they took the bolt off, too. They were jacked from one of Kimball's new routes, and if someone knows something, apologizing to Kimball would go over very well.

Comments: Tuck, well placed bolts yet PG-13??? that doesn't make sense to me, this route sounds a little steeper than most at Canal Zone. I will have to check it out.
And route name is awesome!

Location: CO : Golden : Clear Creek Canyon : Little Eiger : Too! (5.12a)

Comments: Got on the route today, Started on the route just to the right of Too!, for the first pitch because Too! was busy. Fun moves challenging, 2nd pitch, mentally challenging but really a terd. Third pitch was really dirty but was AMAZING!!! I loved the sustained technical climbing, SO MUCH FUN! Only one or two holds that were larger than half a pad. Bailed before the last pitch, one of us was falling asleep, I was gassed from the third, have to come back and do it again to the top some day.

Comments: Clear Creek Canyon is not a state park, and there is no fee to climb there. Jefferson County manages the space, I believe.
Crowds: Weekends SUCK, not going to lie. Weekdays you will be fine.
Dogs: Be respectful of the other climbers. Keep them on a leash.
Hike: There are a couple Tyrols that would probably suck for a dog, but the rest are just fine.

Comments: VERY nice patch, Jay. Much appreciated that you took the extra time to do so. There is no reason that people need to leave exposed bolt remnants, and thank you for your time and effort doing things that not all of us have the skill, knowledge, or equipment to do.
Then there is the group that has all that but is just too lazy to do the work without the reward of the FA, too.

Comments: When we went out on this today, I got stomped! My wingspan wasn't quite enough to get the compression in the beginning. Two other guys that did it both topped it out. They thought that it was at most soft V8 to the hueco jug, then from there adding the top out V9?
Still, cool problem if my arms were longer or if I was just stronger.
