| About at the first roof on P1. A deep, tooth-shaped flake allows a moment to protect the move around this obstacle. | CO : Colorado Springs : ... : The Martyr (5.9) | Stich | Oct 20, 2009 |

Location: CO : Colorado Springs : Old Stage Road : Saint Peter's Overlook : The Martyr (5.9) By: Stich When: Oct 20, 2009 | view comment >> | Comments: There is a reason that this area has not been all that popular over the years. For one, the approach hike is through a maze of dead trees and nasty undergrowth. At times the "trail" completely vanishes, so bush whacking is de rigeur. The downclimb is actually a bit sketchy, too, as the ledges are all down sloping rather than horizontal. If it was wet from a quick shower it would be none too fun. In all, you have to work a bit to get the climbing in.
Compare that to any number of other S. Platte... more >>

Location: CO : Colorado Springs : Old Stage Road : Saint Peter's Overlook : The Martyr (5.9) By: Kevin Hadfield When: Oct 16, 2009 | view comment >> | Comments: Went to climb the Martyr today for the first time. Freakin' sweet route!!! I got confused at the top of the first pitch and set up an anchor in the obvious belay seat... not the ledge... probably shoulda went there. At this point we left the route and climbed straight up the east/northeast face via a fingercrack with a fixed nut. Anyone know anything about that pitch? I found it to be about 5.10+ for the first 20 ft. and then pretty mellow to the top maybe 5.9-. So rad!
