Location: AZ : Paradise Forks : The Gold Wall : East Of Eden (5.10)

Location: AZ : Paradise Forks : The Prow : Ship Of Fools (5.9+)
By: talkinrocks When: May 29, 2009 | view comment >> | Comments: Starting this climb and geting off the ground definatly felt like the crux of this fun climb. Lieback with both hands on big hold with small polished feet to jug for the right hand and into the finger crack higher up on the left. Definatly kinda scary and unprotected about 6 feet off the deck. The rest of the climb was a cruiser and fun. I'd call it 5.10.

Location: AZ : Paradise Forks : The Prow : Jolly Roger (5.10 PG13)
By: talkinrocks When: May 28, 2009 | view comment >> | Comments: Fun route. I had a hard time pulling the roof into the awkward mantle. Flail fest for me on lead, but my partner fired that thing like it was nothing. Loads of good incut edges working up to the roof.

Location: TX : Enchanted Rock State Natura... : Echo Canyon : Triple Cracks Sanctuary : Owl Crack (5.8+)
By: talkinrocks When: May 24, 2009 | view comment >> | Comments: Best route in the Triple Cracks. If the Boy Scouts would stop flailing all over it for hours, you may get a chance at leading this route. Pulling the roof isnt as hard as it looks from below. Solid jams above and below the "roof".

Location: TX : Enchanted Rock State Natura... : Buzzard's Roost : East Face of Buzzard's Roos... : Fear of Flying (5.10)
By: talkinrocks When: May 24, 2009 | view comment >> | Comments: So much fun!! If you are leading it, walking your gear is the key to this beast. If you are TR, lieback till the cows come home and dont stop moving for the fear of flying or a good flash pump.

Location: TX : Enchanted Rock State Natura... : Buzzard's Roost : East Face of Buzzard's Roos... : Little Feat (5.9+)
By: talkinrocks When: May 24, 2009 | view comment >> | Comments: Great route, albeit short. Good practice crack for the budding 5.9 hand jammer. If this crack went on for another 150 feet, it would be one of the sweetest pitches ever. Besides everything in Yosemite. Eats up #2 camalots.

Location: CO : Boulder : Eldorado Canyon SP : Redgarden Wall : Redgarden - Tower Two : Touch 'N' Go (5.8+)
By: talkinrocks When: Oct 29, 2008 | view comment >> | Comments: Awesome route! Polished a bit, but that's Eldo for ya. Definitely not for a budding 5.8 leader. Watch out for many wasps/bees/painful stingy things on the ground while belaying, and all the wet mud when tossing your ropes for rappel. I agree that it is awkward to get to the second rappel station, the rap anchors at the top of Redguard that Ron Olsen alludes to is a better option.

Location: CO : Alpine Rock : Indian Peaks : Lone Eagle Peak : North Face (5.7)
By: talkinrocks When: Oct 28, 2008 | view comment >> | Comments: This route is a pile. If you like steep grass climbing and a little bit of chossy rock, and a big approach then this is the route for you. If you like good alpine rock, go to RMNP. All in all it is a good experience with spectacular position but otherwise the aesthetics of the line make it hardly worth the walk. As many have mentioned many times above, the descent can be tricky to find. DO NOT FOLLOW THE FIRST BIG GULLY ON THE EAST SIDE!! It cliffs out many times and a slip here could be co... more >>
