Location: CO : South Platte : Cathedral Spires Area : Cynical Pinnacle : Rising Crescendo (5.11c/d R)

Location: CO : South Platte : Cathedral Spires Area : Poe Buttress : The Maelstrom (5.11a)

Location: CO : South Platte : Wigwam Creek/Lost Creek Wil... : Wigwam Dome : Hill's Route (5.9)
By: Oliver Hill When: Oct 22, 2009 | view comment >> | Comments: FYI: To update the route, I did the FA of the route with Doug Wermer around 1985. I had been scouting around trying to find good lines for new routes, but the obvious ones had already been taken or were too hard work. I guess I did not have Ken Trout's creativity. It seems it has been named Hill's Route, but Oliver's Route would be much more friendly if not too late.
