Location: CO : Gunnison : Taylor Canyon By: mike bromberg When: Nov 23, 2009 | view comment >> | Comments: Many new anchors appearing in the Taylor these days. Tourist Attraction, Sunshine Dihedral and one Between Awkward and Wide and Left Hand Mantel all have the same Faders hardware.... Anyone know where those three came from?
P.S. - not looking for a debate- just curious.

Location: CO : Gunnison : Taylor Canyon : First Buttress : The Upper Wall : Christine's Dream (5.12) By: YDPL8S When: Nov 13, 2009 | view comment >> | Comments: There was a period there where it seems like every time I went up to Taylor, Phil was up there pumping on this. He was a young man with a serious look to him in those days. When he finally sent this, he was less intense and broke into that patented Philo grin more easily. It definitely put him into the top echelon of Taylor dirtbags at that time :-)

Location: CO : Gunnison : Taylor Canyon : First Buttress : The Upper Wall : Dunn's Dihedral (5.8) By: YDPL8S When: Nov 13, 2009 | view comment >> | Comments: This and Left Hand were my first 5.8 leads. I always felt that first pitch was kind of a highball boulder problem. Seems like I could never find any pro that I liked and I did it different every time. 2nd pitch dihedral is great for a 1st time leader, eats stoppers and hexes (showing my age).

Location: CO : Gunnison : Taylor Canyon : First Buttress : The Upper Wall : Christine's Dream (5.12) By: Allen Hill When: Nov 12, 2009 | view comment >> | Comments: I tried to do this the day after my 18th birthday. The night before was spent with Doug Scott, as he continued his tireless mentoring of me in the ways of woman (I got slapped that night, much to Doug's delight), wine, and other important elements of being a good dirtbag climber of that era. Well, the climb didn't go too well. Way ahead of its time. Phil must have been firing on all cylinders the day he climbed it.

Location: CO : Gunnison : Taylor Canyon : Coffin Crack Crag : Coffin Crack (5.11-) By: Allen Hill When: Nov 12, 2009 | view comment >> | Comments: Robert certainly has climbed it, but it was done before Robert showed up in Gunnison, at least I think so. I was always under the impression that Rosolt did the first ascent. Phil will know for sure.

Location: CO : Gunnison : Taylor Canyon : Coffin Crack Crag : Coffin Crack (5.11-) By: TuFF GonG When: Sep 19, 2009 | view comment >> | Comments: YDPL8S, yes, that is the only way I have accessed the Coffin Crack area. It's awesome to know about the tyrolean, I guess I'm gonna head out there tomorrow. I have done all three routes there in the past, and I remember the furthest right route (I think it's called Blackwater) being really good.
