Location: CO : Colorado Springs : Garden of the Gods : Kindergarten Rock : Family Values (5.7)
By: Scott Edwards When: Oct 31, 2007 | view comment >> |
Comments: I put this route up in the winter of '06 and never reported it. I called it "Family Values"-.6/.7, due to the chill hangout spot at the bottom (good for my toddler son at the time), the zero approach (for the wife), and I bolted in a way so my daughter would have a good route for one of her first leads (this was put up before Red Rock Canyon was open). It's short but pretty fun. Hope people enjoy.

Comments: The right cold shut at the anchor is a great example of why you don't TR directly off anchors. Ropes have worn at least half-way through, and it WILL fail soon! I will replace with a new hanger next time I'm on the route. But, if that doesn't happen any time soon...be warned.

Comments: The only way to do this climb is in one pitch. It would be ridiculous to split it into two.

Location: CO : Colorado Springs : Garden of the Gods : North Gateway Rock : Snuggles to Fall Crack (5.8+)

Comments: In my opinion, both pitches should be done in one! The rings on the pins at the end of Snuggles pitch (at the ledge) look like they have hairline cracks in them.

Comments: This is a perfect route for using half ropes. The climbing after the crux gets a bit spicy. It's not hard climbing but a bit run out over less than perfect rock. I wouldn't say I slung a pothole, more like lassoed a rotten fin between gaping holes! Don't plan on "tossing a large cam deep into one of the potholes", because it's just not possible (they are too large, I was looking!). There's two good placements above the "Lassoe". In retrospect, a fun and memorable Garden climb. For the ful... more >>

Location: CO : Colorado Springs : Garden of the Gods : Kindergarten Rock : Skyline Pig (5.10b)

Comments: One of the best face routes around. A technical climb and in my opinion the .10b rating is right on. Just remember...when the climbing gets tough, stem (except for the balancing act at the top). A couple options exist at the second bulge, veer left (thin,balancy) or veer right (steep jugs).

Comments: Looking for any information on new route development in Elevenmile Canyon. I've noticed and climbed some bolted routes near Pine Cone Dome that I can't find any information about. Also, looking for a "long-time local" partner for Colorado Springs areas.
