Comments: You can rap off the summit to the ground with two 70m ropes, the pull wasn't bad as you can doctor the knot a bit up top and walk downhill to pull.

Comments: The bulk of P3 is mostly hand/cups with very little wide crack, I really wanted more than just two #2 and #3 BD, 3-4 of each would have cut down on a lot of back cleaning. A varied and good Fisher route!

Location: MT : Gallatin Canyon : B.O. Butress : Tarantella (5.10d)

Comments: The name seems a common source of confusion, as most assume it's named after a furry spider. According to Dockins, Tarantella is a term for a sort of "mad dance". Great Gally line on steeper than usual terrain.

Comments: Thanks for cleaning it Andrew! Yeah, I usually prioritize cleaning new routes thoroughly, but I did this one on a lark on a weekend trip when I wasn't living in Bozone...

Comments: The fresh-faced youth himself! Neil was of no help coining razor related names for these routes as he had yet to graduate from a safety razor at that time...and to think only a handful of years later he's become co-dictator of his own planet...

Comments: Touche sir! Stay off this route or there will be no holds left, hell you'll probably pull the fin over with frantic pawing, clawing, and squealing...

Comments: Not quite as good as its neighbors to the right IMO. Several pockets held a heavy dust layer that may clean up with more traffic.

Comments: Excellent addition to the wall! With the cleaning last summer it's in good shape and offers another stellar juggy roof climb for the zone.

Comments: Well, clearly Neil has unflappable confidence in the protective powers of his golden locks...and the Italian man-bear (look closer Ty, that ain't my helmet) holding his rope was wise to don said bomb hat as a couple sizable blocks were unleashed.

Comments: It was a thrill to finally climb this proud feature. Yale put in the anchors and bolted the upper half five years ago and moved away shortly thereafter for work. I always looked at it and assumed it'd be solid 13ish and never got around to finishing it. Yale returned this summer to Sheridan with this route on the top of his climbing agenda. He finished bolting it and graciously let me work it with him. I was very excited to find the climbing was within my ability and that the quality of the move... more >>

Comments: Added two bolts to this yesterday, which makes it a much safer outing for the 5.9 leader.

Comments: Added a bolt to this one recently to eliminate the runout to the anchors and make it more user friendly.

Comments: I don't really know the full history of the boulders, as they are so obvious and alluring from the highway I know lots of people have played on them over the years. Apparently, Mark Wilford soloed the 50' west-facing immaculate slab (10+/11- friction) of the uphill one--pretty damn bold for sure. The only old anchors I know about were on the nice edge-covered slab of the right-hand boulder with the fenceline splitting it. I added one or two other sets above some of the nice TR/highball options. ... more >>

Comments: A big props to Bridger, who gamely followed me up this thing on only his second day of ice climbing ever! Thanks man, it was a great adventure that wouldn't have happened without you!

Comments: Finally got back up to these climbs two weeks ago (mid-Dec. 09) and they were in the best shape I'd seen them! The combination of the Three Sisters provides an excellent introductory day on ice; you can work right to left to gradually increase the difficulty.

Location: WY : Shell Canyon : Post Creek : Ugly Sister (WI2+)
By: Trevor Bowman When: Dec 25, 2009 | view comment >> |
Comments: Climbed this again for the first time in years...it features the best belay tree of the Three Sisters (a big fat pine as opposed to slung shrubs) but could use a new piece of webbing/cord and a second quicklink/biner to improve the setup. Forgot to bring extras with, or we'd have beefed it up...

Comments: A surprisingly overlooked classic! The first pitch has seen a bit of activity in the last few seasons, keeping it clean...haven't done the second pitch yet, or talked to anyone who has recently, it looks to have some sizable shrubbery in a couple spots and the status of the anchor sounds questionable...anyone been on it lately?

Comments: The route lines drawn here are inaccurate in that the pitches diverge above the first ledge shown rather than the second...otherwise a decent overview shot.
