Location: CO : Golden : Clear Creek Canyon : Wall of the '90s : Reefer Madness (5.11a) By: Steve Kelly When: Oct 23, 2002 | view comment >> |
Comments: Great route, tons of fun all the way to the chains. Great holds and interesting moves. Definitely harder for someone shorter than around 5'10". My partner had a hell of a time pushing through the crux sidepulls and is about 5'9" with a fairly average reach. The section right before the ledge in the middle is also somewhat reachy. I'll definitely be coming back for more.

Location: CO : Golden : North Table Mountain/Golden... : The Trad Lands : Alan's Seam (5.10a) By: Steve Kelly When: Aug 9, 2002 | view comment >> |
Comments: My favorite warm up at table. Fun moves through the seam and an interesting sequence to gain the bulge at the top. Kind of awkward to TR from the anchors on the far wall, but not bad enough to warrant separate hangers. Nice route.

Comments: This route is some of the pumpiest (is that a word?) 20ft of climbing at Table. I always come away feeling like I climbed farther than the 3 clips up there.

Location: CO : Golden : Clear Creek Canyon : High Wire Crag : Stone Cold Moderate (5.7) By: Steve Kelly When: Aug 1, 2002 | view comment >> |
Comments: A really fun route, but beginners might find the start to be a little intimidating. Very bouldery. Also, if you happen to bring a set of stoppers up with you, this climb can be led with gear placed in the dihedral, if one desires. A little spacier than the bolts, but fun and the climbing isn't too hard. If you do get sketched out, just clip on of them bolts.

Comments: While I was climbing up at Tablel on 2/22/02 a climber was injured on this climb after some blocks came loose as he was climbing. The blocks came off from the left of the arete near the second and third bolts. I believe that the climber was dropped while the belayer attempted to dodge the (large) falling debris. He was, luckily, wearing a helmet and did not suffer any life threatening injuries, a badly broken leg and various cuts were the only things evident at the scene. I don't think that ... more >>

Location: CO : Golden : Clear Creek Canyon : High Wire Crag : Via Comatose Amigo (5.10c) By: Steve Kelly When: Feb 22, 2002 | view comment >> |
Comments: Really fun route. Did it a little while back and had a blast. A lot more vertical than it seems from the ground with great exposure as you take the ledge below the pegmatite. I was just able to reach the clip at the ledge (I'm 5'11" with a pretty long reach). One question, does anybody know what the route is that goes off to the right? Just curious.
