Location: CO : Boulder : Flatirons : South : The Maiden : South Face (5.8 R)
By: Patrick Betts When: Feb 6, 2013 | view comment >> | Comments: I wasn't sure where the start of the route really began, and I could not see the first pitch belay slings from the ground, so I just picked a line and went. I ended up starting straight below the first pitch belay slings. You start by pulling a small roof while traversing up and left on chickenheads; then once you've surmounted the roof, you climb lichen covered slab until you get to blocky, red rock, a fixed pin, and then to the slung hole for the first pitch anchors. I thought this w... more >>

By: Patrick Betts When: Dec 5, 2012 | view comment >> | Comments: A bolt has been added (when, I don't know) to ease that runout - although the runout is not spicy at all. Great route, not slimy, eases up in the middle, stay left of the bolt line at the top to keep the difficulty.

Location: CO : South Platte : West Creek : Sheep's Nose : Lost in Space (5.9)
By: Patrick Betts When: Oct 16, 2012 | view comment >> | Comments: Climbed this last week, and it's quite stellar. Was not nearly as involved and comitting as this page makes it come off as.
After pitch 1 (belay in a large waterstreak with good belay seats right next to a left-facing dihedral), just climb up 8 feet or so above the belay and make a right traverse under a rooflette, pop around the arete, and boogie up and left along the arete. I thought this was straightforward and that the route finding was neither complicated or hard.

Location: CO : South Platte : Goose Creek/Molly Gulch Cam... : Sheeprock : Land that Time Forgot : SolArian (5.10+)
By: Patrick Betts When: Oct 16, 2012 | view comment >> | Comments: Climbed this yesterday, 10/15. Great climb. Pitch 1 was the hardest pitch, for me, out of the three. Consists of hard slab and the pitch pretty much stays in your face the entire 130 feet. We got sun on pitch 3 right around 3:30pm.
To reiterate, definitely watch your gear placements on the crux roof on pitch 3 to avoid slicing your rope - especially if your second may or may not flash the roof. We suffered a (small) core shot even though our gear placements couldn't have been much better.

By: Patrick Betts When: Sep 22, 2012 | view comment >> | Comments: Climbed it again yesterday, 9/21, and did the finger crack variation on pitch 4. Stellar. With having done both options, the finger crack variation is definitely the way to go, in my opinion. Used just a #1 and 0.75 in the finger crack and that's it for the pitch. It does eat up gear though. Do it!

By: Patrick Betts When: Jun 20, 2012 | view comment >> | Comments: It's good to note that, personally, I believe the lower you traverse on pitch 3 the easier it is. However, you better be comfortable with a 40ft traverse on 5.7/5.8 slab. It seems the higher up the dihedral you wait, the more water-worn the slab gets. My 2-cents. Great climb!

Location: CO : South Platte : Goose Creek/Molly Gulch Cam... : Helen's Dome
By: Patrick Betts When: Mar 21, 2012 | view comment >> | Comments: Found the directions to Helen's Dome to be a bit confusing and possible incorrect. But again, it could have been just me. We never did find Molly Gulch Campground, and I feel that this could be attributed to the fact that the NFS closed this campground? Either way, we drove all the way to the ranch and never found a campground. So, we just parked due west of the dome and walked from there.

Location: CO : South Platte : Goose Creek/Molly Gulch Cam... : Helen's Dome : Fractured Fairytales (5.7)
By: Patrick Betts When: Mar 21, 2012 | view comment >> | Comments: Did this route a few days ago. Very fun route! Missing a few hangers on pitches 4, 5, and 6. Just one on each pitch, though on very very easy (5.4, 5.5) terrain.
