Comments: Great climb, I remember the gear exists 1st placement is a bomber blind #1 cam placement, the rest is there. You gotta trust it and commit. Jimmy thanx for the morning brew and hip belay. Philo thanx for taking me to Taylor.

Comments: 8/9/07 was a fun send. Cops blocked off the road to Eldo for a race- ran for 20min. w/ light rack + rope. Oh and a case of PBRs- which we deposited @ Kev's and Bodey's place. Started climbing @ ? 8:45pm.
Rack I lead on 1st pitch in order: -Pin; -Pin; -#5 RP (BD); skipped bolt anchor- did clip inset piton-w/ double length runner. After a pigeon flew out the crack right in my face. - Bolt; to the 2 bolt anchor belay.
Now it's dark.
2nd pitch: -pit... more >>

Comments: Philo- lookin' good in them there photos of ya'- very balanced. As for myself I remember messing up the sequence @ the crux and having to lung for the ledge right below the anchors. call me jumpy, if you will- it was a favorite OS of mine, as well as "needs a bolt", keep crankin' partner.

Comments: Everyone climbs this one, and I see why, it's great. The start of it is a little tricky. Can also be done in one pitch 60m.

Comments: Love this climb. 1 pitch (60m) to top. Rack used on 6/2/07 in order:
clip the two bolts up to #3 (BD) cam @ overhang, #00 (WC) cam, to piton, clipped the two shiny bolts, then a #1 (WC) cam, and some pieces for the belay. 60m rope won't reach all the way to the belay tree on summit if done in single pitch.

Comments: Climbed it on 5/17/07 the first time, fun route- used a #3+#4 (BD)cam and then climbed up and left to a rap tree that drops you on the east face of cob. start has great jams, watch out for loose rocks when climbing through the broken area to tree.

Comments: Yahoo, Love Cob. All routes are quality!! One particular one,-I was wishing for more info of. Yesterday 6-22-07 w/ Pam Porskinak (sorry Philo I had to) I climbed up Hurley Direct (5.10- ?). Traversed into Empor (5.7ish-) and up the V-slot. From there, there are two bolts to a bolt stud. Face w/ small holds to a sloping dish (directly below the stud), I think this might be the crux (5.10+ or 5.11??). I might have made it harder, instead of using a stopper I had a maschine nut and "Lucky" bolt han... more >>

Location: CO : Boulder : Boulder Canyon : Bell Buttress Massif : Bell Buttress - Main Crag : Cosmosis (5.9+)
By: Stephanovich When: Mar 18, 2007 | view comment >> |
Comments: Love Cosmosis, lots of fun, I used a #4 stopper, after that reach up and squeeze in a #1 Camalot, clip the old angle piton, get up into more vert. climbing, place a yellow Alien, and then gun it to the anchors, (one can also get a solid #2 Camalot placement in the handcrack up top).
Yes is very nice. I rate it 5.9**** (super fun).

Location: CO : Estes Park Valley : Cottontail Crag : Destroyer (5.12a)
By: Stephanovich When: Sep 6, 2006 | view comment >> |
Comments: This is a great, doable .12, great aesthetic moves, I highly recommend doing this route. All the other routes on Cottontail Crag are of great quality rock as well. I also recommend "Cliffhanger" 5.11, very fun, there's a jug @ the lip of the overhang, so you can cut you're feet loose and literally hang out, just like Stalone in the movie, Cliffhanger.
