By: Blake Cash When: Nov 10, 2009 | view comment >> | Comments: Thanks for all the hard work, Madaleine. This is on my list of routes to do for the winter here in the FRange. Karma will come around to whoever stole your rope.
So, there is a belay bolt for this thing? If one were to rap down the route, it would be pretty obvious, yes?

By: Sofia When: Nov 2, 2009 | view comment >> | Comments: CAREFUL! As you come over the bulge before the awkward traverse on the 2nd or 3rd pitch (don't know which because we did the route in 3 pitches), there is a VERY loose, unmarked flake. It scared the hell out of me and I would have marked it, but A, it was dark; B, I had no light; C, or markers. Will someone please mark it?

By: tjq When: Oct 8, 2009 | view comment >> | Comments: Nervous going into it. But when I got to the chains on the first pitch, I knew the whole route would be pure fun. Don't get spooked by 'polished rock'. Great climbing, and check out the cable that Ivy Baldwin used to tightrope over to the Wind Tower. If you liked this route, try the Lover's Leap Crack off 470 and 85. It's got the same exposure and a 'two move stem crux'.

Location: CO : Boulder : Eldorado Canyon SP : The Bastille : The Bastille - N Face : Werk Supp (5.9)
By: Phil Lauffen When: Sep 26, 2009 | view comment >> | Comments: I just don't know. I floated the crux pitch of Handcracker Direct, which is supposedly a 5.10a handcrack. Then I jump on the second pitch of this, a 5.9ish hand crack. Which one should be harder? I guess I really suck at crack climbing....sometimes.

By: Monty When: Sep 14, 2009 | view comment >> | Comments: Just noticed the route description says this route is 250' long?.... I climbed this yesterday for the first time and had no problem linking both pitches with the use of long slings, and the occasional runout. More like 155 feet of awesomeness.
