Boulder Canyon - Third Elephant Buttress re-opened for climbing

The entire Third Elephant Buttress in Boulder Canyon has re-opened for climbing. We organized a small volunteer effort to gently remove a 120+ pound loose rock on the popular Standard Route (5.7+) that threatened whatever may have been in its path – climber, belayer or the steel water pipe. Big thanks to ubiquitous do-gooder Mike McHugh for his technical expertise as he continues to support the Front Range community through his selfless heavy-lifting!

Thanks!

More thanks. This reopens some of the best routes on the Buttresses.
