Location: CO : Boulder : Boulder Canyon : The Bihedral Area : The Bihedral (Upper Tier) : It's Time For Change (5.8) By: John Maguire When: Nov 13, 2009 | view comment >> |
Comments: The torso sized block is still there and still ready to go. It's especially dangerous because the rope runs right on top of it when you clip the bolts before and after. I ended up bailing on the route at the thought of not wanting to kill my belayer. I would have been more than happy to try to clean it, but there were several parties climbing on the area directly underneath the route and it was far too risky.

Comments: The problems on this boulder range from V0 to V1-2 depending on eliminates. A nice traverse has also been done.

Comments: Easiest way to avoid this, always tie into/tie a knot in the end of your rope!

Location: CO : Boulder : Boulder Canyon : The Bihedral Area : The Bihedral (Upper Tier) : Blood Diamond (5.11c) By: Elijah Flenner When: Oct 7, 2009 | view comment >> |
Comments: Hard to rate this route. Hard at the top of the dihedral, but otherwise not 5.11. Surprisingly good slab climbing at the bottom.

Comments: Very nice even if it is also very short. I agree, not an easy one to onsight although there is no very hard move.

Location: CO : Boulder : Boulder Canyon : The Bihedral Area : The Bihedral (Upper Tier) : Bihedral Arete (5.10a) By: proto When: Oct 6, 2009 | view comment >> |
Comments: Led it today. I used a 0.4 on the first pitch and a 0.5 C4 on the second. Nice route very well protected. You don't need 12 QD as stated in the book, 7 QD and 2 runners are enough.

Location: CO : Boulder : Boulder Canyon : The Bihedral Area : The Bihedral (Upper Tier) : Blood Diamond (5.11c) By: Erik Pohlman When: Oct 4, 2009 | view comment >> |
Comments: This felt a little soft for 11d, which is the rating from the book. Also, it seems like it doesn't get climbed that often, as there is a bit of lichen in the crux.

Location: CO : Boulder : Boulder Canyon : The Bihedral Area : The Lower Tier : Like a Wonk (5.9) By: rob bauer When: Oct 2, 2009 | view comment >> |
Comments: With belly to the bolts, the left hand variation felt fairly hard (.10c?) to me; I'm 5'8" and I hung, [but avoided the crack to the left]. I was expecting easier....

Location: CO : Boulder : Boulder Canyon : The Bihedral Area : The Bihedral (Upper Tier) : A Fly in the Ointment (5.10a) By: rob bauer When: Oct 2, 2009 | view comment >> |
Comments: Climbed this today, so no prior experience with the liebacks, and I'm no powerhouse at 52. I believe more pieces will break off, but don't think it will change the grade much at 10a. Didn't see the need for any larger than a .75 camalot. Nice climb!
