Comments: I corresponded with Bob & Carrie, and they confirmed these are their routes, but they either did not name them, or don't remember the names, so suggested that I name them.

Comments: No, not at all. I was recovering from a foot injury and wanted to wear something loose & floppy on the left foot. More here if you're interested.

Comments: Glad to hear it. That makes sense since the hold in the pic is more of a sidepull than undercling. Did you send yet??

Comments: I think the variation was bolted by Scott Hahn. I don't know if he sent it or not. He has an account here, so someone can PM him to find out....

Comments: David,
The database is built by the users. The Eiger is not in the database, because none of our users have climbed it, (or if they have, they haven't bothered to submit it). Perhaps once you do it you can add it to the database! In the mean time, this is about the the closest thing we've got. Hope its enough to get your palms sweaty.

Comments: If you like that, check out "3:10 to Yuma" with Russel Crowe & Christian Bale. There's a 10-minute sequence involving the Tunnels, plus many more NM areas such as Diablo Canyon....

Location: International : North America : Canada : Alberta : Banff National Park : ... : Greenwood-Locke (5.8 A2 Steep Snow R)
By: Monomaniac When: Dec 28, 2010 | view comment >> |
Comments: I've listed the historic grade of "5.8 A2" to provide a comparison to other routes of the era, however, we were able to climb it free at ~5.10+. I believe most modern summer ascents are done in similar fashion.

Comments: Not too many underclings on this, so I assume its the same one Tim ripped off & glued back on (clipping hold for bolt #6).
Right hand in this pic?

Comments: yep. I think it was nearing the end. It was in a super rusted-out tin can. We were reluctant to handle it, but felt it would be best to take some pics to "preserve" it.

Location: KY : Red River Gorge : The Motherlode : 40 OZ of Justice (5.13a)
By: Monomaniac When: Nov 29, 2010 | view comment >> |
Comments: 60m is fine. I think this route is way under-rated. Perhaps not as good as the other Madness Cave rtes, but IMO this is the best 13a at the Lode* (*I haven't done Snooker, done all the others).

Location: CO : Golden : Clear Creek Canyon : The Armory : Ken T'ank Low Start (5.12d)
By: Monomaniac When: Nov 29, 2010 | view comment >> |
Comments: I think it's better listed as a separate route. That way the star & grade consensus can be formed independently. The site is more useful as a database that way. If you are searching for CCC 12d's, this route would not come up if it was posted as a comment under Ken T'ank.

Comments: I don't think I ever mentioned this at any other point, but Janelle made the first female ascent of the Thumb on this trip (though not on this attempt, as we were turned back by obviously deteriorating weather). As far as I know, she's still the only female to have summitted the Thumb.

Comments: There were ferns growing in the jugs at the lip, so I guess this hadn't been done in a while. Too bad; it's among the best of the grade at Shelf, IMO.
