Comments: That's right, I don't like some greenie calling me a regurgitator on this site or anywhere else for that matter. I tend to take offense to someone from CO (or anywhere else) telling me how I should grade the routes at Vedauwoo. In my opinion, the route goes at 9+. Matt you can stay down in CO and tell people how to grades routes down there for all I care.

Comments: Just heads up, if you see this 5.2 listed here and decide to solo this route, you should know that soloing this makes it more than 5.2 in my opinion. It felt like 5.4 to me, especially the last move, which is very exposed. Just my opinion though and a heads up.

Comments: Don't shy away if you only have one set of cams. I placed a 0.75 and a 1 cam up towards the top. Just have to place them a little deeper and be carefull they do not walk in.

Comments: I agree with Mr. Sanders and Mr. Gunnels, this is a climb that you must do at the Tower. I did feel that the 2nd pitch was noticeably harder than the first, maybe it had something to do with being tired from the first pitch, but if felt more technical to me. I would rate P1 at 5.8 and P2 at 5.9+. With regards to the stellar hanging belay, I think my lifelines were too short to enjoy the hanging belay much. It could have been the way my harness fits also, but the next day both my thighs were ... more >>

Comments: Get on this thing, very fun. My friend said a 60 meter rope got him to the ground. Make sure your rope is 60, apperently my buddy's rope is not a full 60 meter, as I was left hanging in a tree about 20 feet up.

Comments: Yeah I just put the rating that was in the Heel and Toe. I think it's more of a 10a, especially with that finish. I wish the sun didn't mess up some of those pics of you I took, oh well.

Location: CO : CO Ice & Mixed : RMNP - Mixed/Ice : Loch Vale & vicinity : Loch Vale & uphill : The Crypt (WI4)

Comments: Checked out The Crypt on March 8th, lots of snow, only about 30 feet of ice were showing above the snow (see photo). Since I do not have very much experience judging avalanche potential, we aborted mission about 50 feet from the falls. Judging by anonymous' comment, we made the right decision. I think trying to belay on 70 degree snow would also be hard. If anyone does this route this winter under improved conditions, I would like to know, I still would like to do this route.

Comments: I climbed this last weekend and though the book said there were anchors, I did not see any at the top of this route. I did not see any anchors on the next route left of me, but did see some anchors two routes left on the top of Chainsaw Willy. It made for a nice long route, the traverse over to the anchors is easy, but just thought I would let people know.

Comments: Maybe the anchors have changed since the last post, we did not have any problems leading and TR'ing the route. Anyway, I was wondering what side (right/left) most people entered the last roof. I went left side in first when leading and felt like I was going to fall out. My buddy finished the lead and I TR'd it going right side in first, fealing much better. Just wondering if anybody had any thoughts.

Comments: Rob, depends on how many people jam their bodies/gear/rope into it, doing the hug-crawl at upper portion with their full weight on it, but I will bet sometime in 09 it comes down. Actually it was a fun, if not awkward route, well worth doing while it is still there.
