I certainly don't remember anything like it near that spo… View Comment
Oct 2, 2013 Wasatch Range > Central Wasatch > Little Cottonwo… > Wheeler-Newsome Wall Wing Nut 5.11c ● Indeed, burly indeed. The start is a bit unnerving as you make your way to the roof. No pro, not super ea… View Comment
Sep 29, 2013 S Central Utah > … > San Rafael Swel… > Buckhorn Wash > Lower Buckhorn > Chocolate Wall Short Stack 5.11a ● BURLY! The starting chimney is pretty straightforward if you're facing the right way. Take great care to… View Comment
Sep 5, 2013 Wasatch Range > Central Wasatch > Ferguson Canyon > Watchtower > Watchtower Main Fishlips 5.11d ● Fantastic climb. I like the variety - jugs at the start, crimps and arete-slapping through the bolts, easy… View Comment
Aug 30, 2013 Wasatch Range > Central Wasatch > Big Cottonwood… > Strone Crag Red Gorilla 5.12a ● Nice moves with the crux coming around bolt 2. Strange bolt placements. If you whip above bolt 2, you'll… View Comment
Aug 30, 2013 Wasatch Range > Central Wasatch > Big Cottonwood… > Strone Crag Creaking Plank 5.9 ● Fun climbing. Needs a belay bolt. Weird finish. Awful belay "ledge" up top. View Comment
Aug 30, 2013 Wasatch Range > Central Wasatch > Big Cottonwood… > Strone Crag Major Tom 5.10c ● This route has some cool arete climbing. That said, here are some concerns: -Belaying from the tree/ledge… View Comment
Aug 16, 2013 Wasatch Range > Central Wasatch > Little Cottonwo… > Tanners Gulch > Booty Wall Area White Lines 5.12d ● Burly. A pump from the word go with nary a rest along the way. Good gear - we used BD .4 - #1 sized piece… View Comment
Aug 15, 2013 Wasatch Range > Central Wasatch > Little Cottonwo… > Hellgate Cliffs > Tower One Shelter from the Storm 5.12a ● Oddly, i guess, I found the technical crux to be right at the first bolt - the moves getting established in… View Comment
Aug 10, 2013 Wasatch Range > Central Wasatch > Little Cottonwo… > Hellgate Cliffs > Tower Two Radiation Babies 5.10 ● I thought this climb was much better than both Social Realism and The Big chill. Pretty easy much of the w… View Comment
Aug 10, 2013 Wasatch Range > Central Wasatch > Little Cottonwo… > Tanners Gulch > Booty Wall Area Pirate Treasure 5.11 ● As others mentioned, If you're around 6' or have a decent ape index you can reach all the way to the jug fr… View Comment
Jul 23, 2013 Wasatch Range > Central Wasatch > Little Cottonwo… > Hellgate Cliffs > Tower Two Whiskey and Weed Power 5.11b ● Tightly bolted. I certainly didn't feel like the crux was at the 5th bolt, but instead just before the cha… View Comment
Jul 23, 2013 Wasatch Range > Central Wasatch > Little Cottonwo… > Hellgate Cliffs > Tower One Brainless Conformants 5.10d ● I'm not sure why this pitch would scare you're pants off. It's very tightly bolted, and there is only one… View Comment
Jul 23, 2013 Wasatch Range > Central Wasatch > Little Cottonwo… > Hellgate Cliffs > Tower One Cause for Alarm 5.10b ● I think this pitch is so-so. Nothing special. It is worth doing however, just to get to the pitch above,… View Comment
Jul 10, 2013 Wasatch Range > Central Wasatch > Little Cottonwo… > Hellgate Cliffs > Main Hellgate Till Hell Freezes Over 5.11b ● Aside from the final choss pitch (which we didn't do), you can rap this route easily with a single 70m. We… View Comment
Jun 8, 2013 Wasatch Range > Central Wasatch > Big Cottonwood… > Dark Star Gully The Wraith 5.11a ● Pretty good, juggy, and slightly pumpy. The bolts are terrifying. Like JBONE said, a few cams fingers to… View Comment
Jun 1, 2013 Wasatch Range > Central Wasatch > Parley's Canyon > Riptide Wall Jazz the Glass 5.11+ ● Squeeze job. Not that great anyway. View Comment
Jun 1, 2013 Wasatch Range > Central Wasatch > Parley's Canyon > Riptide Wall Riptide 5.9 ● Clip a bolt, then a nice pocket takes a .5 Camalot/orange metolius, then a bit of runout (easy ground) to t… View Comment
Jun 1, 2013 Wasatch Range > Central Wasatch > Parley's Canyon > Riptide Wall Edge of the Sea 5.9+ ● I have no idea how this route gets a 5.10 rating. It felt like 5.8: no hard moves, rests every few moves,… View Comment
May 10, 2013 Wasatch Range > Central Wasatch > Little Cottonwo… > Altered States Gully A Bright Shining Lie 5.10c ● I found this to be harder and more sustained than the crux pitch of Fin Arete, but it is much better protec… View Comment
May 10, 2013 Wasatch Range > Central Wasatch > Little Cottonwo… > Altered States Gully Sticky Fingers 5.10d ● I found this to be burly for a 10d. Do yourself a favor and go do warm-up laps on Tick Fever before jumpin… View Comment
Nov 25, 2012 S Central Utah > … > San Rafael Swel… > Buckhorn Wash > Lower Buckhorn > Private Pizza Wall Teeter Totter 5.10 X ● Cool route. We used nuts instead of cams for the piller and bear-hugged our way up. On the way down, I wa… View Comment
Oct 9, 2012 Southwest Utah > Zion NP > Mt Carmel Tunnel > Headache Area The Headache 5.10 ● Some quick beta: -a #4 isn't needed. The "OW" pod on P1 is very short; a #3 BD protects above and below… View Comment
Sep 29, 2012 Wasatch Range > Central Wasatch > Little Cottonwo… > Thumb Area S-Direct 5.9+ R ● A few commets about the "description" given here. 1. all the bolts are present; most of them are new-ish.… View Comment
Sep 3, 2012 Wasatch Range > Central Wasatch > Little Cottonwo… > Tanners Gulch > Specter Wall Specter 5.11d ● Very nice route. Nothing to complain about other than a few strangely-placed bolts and the mega-sandbag ra… View Comment
Sep 3, 2012 Wasatch Range > Central Wasatch > Little Cottonwo… > Tanners Gulch Specter Wall ● It's possible to 4th-class all the way up the corner (directly below the routes) to the pine tree. From th… View Comment
Sep 3, 2012 Wasatch Range > Central Wasatch > Little Cottonwo… > Tanners Gulch > Diff'rent Strokes But… Ornery Miss Garrett 5.9+ ● The start has a shiny bolt before the two pins. No full rack needed. A single set to 1.5" will be fine.… View Comment
Aug 10, 2012 Wasatch Range > Central Wasatch > Big Cottonwood… > Choss Garden Nettle 5.11c ● The direct bolt line is not that much harder than heading right. The rock above the last "rap" bolt isn't… View Comment
Aug 1, 2012 Wasatch Range > … > Little Cottonwo… > Albion Basin > Cecret Lake > Whipper Wall Toxic Narcotic 5.11b/c ● The easiest 11+ in the universe. View Comment
Jul 8, 2012 Wasatch Range > Central Wasatch > Big Cottonwood… > Dogwood Crag A Modest Man from Mandrake 5.9 ● bolt 5 still missing. Going on 7 years now? View Comment
Jun 27, 2012 Northeast Utah > Uinta Mountains > Notch Lake > Getaway Wall Prisoner of My Own Subconscious 5.10d ● Contra the description, there are no bolts on this climb. View Comment
May 5, 2012 Wasatch Range > Central Wasatch > Little Cottonwo… > Black Peeler Bu… > S Face Duck A L'Orange 5.8 R ● Definitely not 'R' (at least since being retro-bolted), although a slip above the 2nd bolt would hurt. View Comment
Sep 25, 2011 Wasatch Range > Central Wasatch > Little Cottonwo… > Super Slab Super Crack 5.10 ● "Super Crack" = misnomer. a handful of smaller cams, one #2 and one #3 BD for the hand crack, a half-doz… View Comment
Sep 23, 2011 Wasatch Range > Central Wasatch > Little Cottonwo… > Green Adjective Gully Stormy Resurrection 5.11b ● I found the OW to be the crux; probably because I hate OW's. View Comment
Aug 26, 2011 Wasatch Range > Central Wasatch > Ferguson Canyon > Tower Of Babel Fuego 5.12a ● SO GOOD. View Comment
Aug 21, 2011 Northeast Utah > Uinta Mountains Notch Lake ● The hike is one hour each way, and very mellow. View Comment
