Comments: Definitely done years ago. I did a low start and thought it V3 or 4.

Comments: It's a good wee problem but needs cold temps. Next visit :)

Comments: Thanks, guys! Not trying to sound whiny here :)
The thing is that otherwise quality popular routes have a way of acquiring tat, fixed draws, etc. when weird clips and "scary" sections show up. Probably best to see how the consensus emerges over the next few months. I appreciate your openness to considering revising the bolts.

Comments: Not to be critical, but recommending bringing along stick-clips, adding long slings, etc. make it sound like this route was bolted less than optimally. I thought sport climbing had moved past installing routes that required these tactics, especially given the application process, etc.

Comments: I was interested in a lower start on the arete and then moving into this but abandoned it as too silly :)

Comments: Thanks, Mark! I am going to go with Monsieur Pinklebear on this one. Hard for the grade but not 13b.

Comments: Permadraws on a closely bolted 35-foot cliff seems over the top. This is not the Motherlode or Wicked Cave here. The cliff is not even very steep. FWIW I never left draws overnight on any of the projects I did here. It takes a few minutes to put them in bolt-to-bolt and only a little longer to clean.

Comments: Joe, the snow is not a problem but the trail is kind of a pain owing to blown down trees. It's not a big deal. Area A is going to be too hot soon though.

Comments: I was wondering when this would be proposed. Tip of the iceberg in terms of this grade in the Flatirons.

Comments: For the flash, maybe three plan trainings is OK. Clippings, clippings, then problems, then is easy?

Comments: You have about a month to get on the route as the entire formation will be closed on Feb. 1.

Location: CO : Alpine Rock : RMNP - Rock : RMNP Bouldering Areas
By: Peter Beal When: Dec 16, 2011 | view comment >> |
Comments: You can camp at Mount Evans, but RMNP is very tightly controlled for bivying and camping. The hike in, even to Upper, is not much more than an hour, so even if it was allowed, camping would be more trouble than it was worth.

Comments: Hilarious. I thought about bolting this line way back but felt it was much too close to the gully. Well done.

Comments: For me, there will be a short hiatus on adding info to give the guidebook some elbow room for sales.

Comments: Sharma using a kneebar is one thing, but when I posted on FB asking if he had been shown with a kneepad, the ultimate jessery accessory, no one could find an example.

Comments: The Anarchy Wall is 30 feet high and takes about two minutes to clean any route on the left side. Why would anyone want fixed draws here?
