Platte legend Dave Bell actually on the Platte beneath Big Rock shortly before his death. Noel Childs and Byron Nelson flank him.

One of the many pleasures of the Platte.

Typical Platte.

Josh K. hanging out on "Land of the Living Lies", 5.11.

Beautiful evening in the SPlatte.

Classic South Platte Climbing - Big Rock Candy Mountain.

Just found this tonight.

Pretty slab.

Lost Creekin' it....

A classic South Platte formation looking moody post-rain.

Taj and Devil's Head from the top of Jackson Creek Dome.

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

Martin jug tuggin' on the S. Platte's "I Want To Lay Beside You and Scream" (AKA "Scream"), 5.11+.

SPlatte! Could it get an better?

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

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).

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

New boulder problems in the South Platte. FA here lots of things like this < between Sunshine and Cynical >.

Getting ready to rap off a route in DH.

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!

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

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.

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!

Andy Koken bouldering north of Sheep Nose.

The Bucksnort. Serving climbers for 25 years.

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

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

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.

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

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.

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

Cabin Ridge from a valley hillside.

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

The Devil's Head.

Found this last night. All hail Dave.

Karen's card.

Long Scraggy Peak.

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?

Stevie D. smiling because he found one of the Platte's rare steep lines: "Haunted Saloon", 5.11+.

Tanner really sewing it up on "Bloody Crack" (5.10-)

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.
