Comments: The 7th, 8th, and 9th of May have dumped some heavy snow on the Jungle. Might not be until the end of May before the road clears. 5/10 Update, the forecast for next week predicts 80s in the Jungle! That will melt those north facing snow banks down in a hurry!

Comments: Back in the early 80s Frank Curry and I left the Village around 1:30 am and headed quietly up the water dist. rd. We were within 20 yards of the house when the biggest, meanest, and loudest dog ever, charged us. We took off down hill but knew we were raw meat for this beasts early breakfast...then his large chain stopped him. We slinked through a boulder field and around the house. Made the summit by 3:00. Then down to the tram before it closed. Good times!
Later I was going to do it again ... more >>

Comments: One day long ago I blew the move off that big knob and crux. Big fall with a dike to hit half way through. Make sure your belay is good!

Comments: If the SLC cragers get freaked about the Jungle rock quality then this place is Jungle 6.66! And I expect as well as deserve to be given crap!

Comments: Some of the bolts(old) and there placements(new) make this a serious route for a 5.9 climber. This is a hard-man, desert, old school route...and a lot of fun!

Comments: I want to thank all off you for your concern over my old noggin! And there in lies part of your answer...OLD guys like me climbed hard back in the day when sex was safe and climbing was dangerous so we used helmets generally when we were worried about rock fall. Those helmets were heavy and did not give a lot of room to move in tight spaces. Still have my old Joe Brown to let you try sometime. The upper two-thirds of this route is a crack. I led this, set an anchor, went down got the drill,... more >>

Comments: This was a very, very impressive FA by G.K. and the large loose chalk stone made the climbing even more exciting! Now that the route has been cleaned, I believe this is one of the best routes in the Jungle. Get your head together for the roof!
