Found this rock between FS Road 550 and Asshole Rock. The crack is 5.8 or 5.9. It's pretty short but fun.

Getting ready to rap off a route in DH.

One of the many pleasures of the Platte.

Typical Platte.

Classic South Platte Climbing - Big Rock Candy Mountain.

Pretty slab.

Beautiful evening in the SPlatte.

Lost Creekin' it....

Just another un-named rock with bolts and anchors. They're all over.

Another new boulder problems in the South Platte. FA here. This is between Cynical and Sunshine.

SPlatte! Could it get an better?

Just found this tonight.

Taping up for Scorpio.

One of many great pieces of rock in Lost Creek.

Beautiful day in the South Platte to hang out and relax (and maybe get some climbing in).

SPlatte Spires.

Charles in 1979 after a very scary 11+ traverse that had a real bad fall if blown (for both of us). I repeated this climb last summer (2007) and a bolt has appeared smack under the crux pinch move. Wimps!

Old campsite off the beaten path - I love stumbling upon these old sites as I always envision a group of S. Platte pioneers sitting around the camp fire, slugging beers and talking about the day and the day to come. Maybe this and other sites I've come across weren't even developed by climbers, but they always seem to show up near big rocks, so that's where my mind goes. *Note the pile of cut logs waiting for the occupants to return.

Andy Koken bouldering north of Sheep Nose.

The Bucksnort. Serving climbers for 25 years.

Best granite in the Platte is on an unknown dome, and I would know, trust me. Actual knob climbing on bullet granite. Two routes on it so far. Room for many many others. Go find it!

Lost Creek Wilderness...one of my favorite places in Colorado.

Buffalo Creek fire from Lake Wellington. Wild day to be on the Castle as the fire grew and grew.

There's just a little bit of rock out there....

Good coffee and good eats at Cindy Green's Elephant Rock Cafe in Pine.

A real good South Platte rock. Lots of routes on this one.

Green's Store in Buffalo Creek is a great place to buy a cold Coke, fishing lures, huge cuts of meat, and when I was a kid Dupont blasting caps! Don't forget to say Howdy to Mr. Green.

Jackson Creek Dome.

On Topaz in DH, one of the best 10s...so fun.

Great food and beer at Zoka's in Pine. Menu changes daily. Curt the owner is going to show some climbing films this summer to lure, like trout, climbers out of the Platte and into a restaurant.

The Devil's Head.

Rope... $200<br>
Rack... $500<br>
Climbing excellent granite to escape a flash flood... PRICELESS!

Cabin Ridge from a valley hillside.

This is at Sheep's Nose. Just before Air Jordan Boulder.

Long Scraggy Peak.

Found this last night. All hail Dave.

Karen's card.

Found this random piece of salt and pepper granite randomly in the middle of the South Platte during a hike. No stone anywhere around there like it. Wtf?

Tanner really sewing it up on "Bloody Crack" (5.10-) at Pleasure Dome.

The South Platte's newest summer projecting spot. Any crushers feeling like putting up some potential short 13s and 14s?

A friend and I hiked to the dome on the left from Radio Head in Rampart Range. Does anyone know what dome that is and if there is an easier way to access it?

Great apres climbing opportunities in the Platte.
