Location: CO : Estes Park Valley : Big Thompson Canyon : Combat Rock : Kasserine Pass (5.13a/b R)
By: Patrick Ackerson When: May 11, 2009 | view comment >> | Comments: Crux begins at the second bolt (thin & sequential). The next three bolts are not a free ride, but noticeably easier. After the fifth bolt, run it to a large ledge and use the crack to build a belay (#0.75 Camalots are handy). The five bolts on a blank face mark the beginning of the second pitch (three bolts left are for Enemy Lines and five right are for Blood for Oil).

Pull it and finish with "Battle Forever More"; bring Metolius one to four, along with shoulder length slings for the this section.
Expect some high stepping onto matchstick holds.

Location: CO : Estes Park Valley : Big Thompson Canyon : Beige Tube Area / The Narro... : Friendship 7 Wall : Friendship Seven (5.11a)
By: Patrick Ackerson When: Sep 4, 2005 | view comment >> | Comments: Allen, this route is one of the best in the canyon, and the rating of 5.11a is on the money. it is far [too] sequential and pumpy to have a rating less than 5.11. Patrick Ackerson.
