Location: CO : Boulder : Flatirons : Central : Skunk Canyon : ... : Enchanted Devil (5.3 R)
By: Charles Danforth When: 5 days ago | view comment >> | Comments: Fantastic route! We found the start of the route pretty easily (apparently, we're above-average bears) and climbed the first two pitches pretty smoothly. Note, we used a 70 meter rope and both pitches were within 5m of the end. A 60 might require some careful management. From below the giant boulder, it's another pitch and a bit to the summit. Great, consistent rock, fantastic positions, and certainly no traffic. Never hard, but never easy. If it wasn't for the somewhat arduous approach a... more >>

Location: CO : Boulder : Flatirons : Central : Skunk Canyon : ... : Mohling Arete (5.5 R)
By: Joe Brannan When: Sep 13, 2009 | view comment >> | Comments: Definitely has more of a mountaineering feel than a pure rock route. The approach has tons of poison ivy so those who are sensitive beware. The first pitch is the only run-out really and I thought if felt like 5.6 on the face above the overhang. If the Third Flatiron right side is a 5.7, this first pitch is at least a 5.6. A fun squeeze chimney to get back out of the 3rd(?) notch. The 4th and 5th notches required some back and forth route finding. In the fog and rain, the soaked lichen made... more >>

Beware of Poison Ivy, it is present on the approach and damn near everywhere on the descent.
Freesoloed the first pitch, then climbed six more with a 70m rope--stretching to its full length a few times. Got some "style points" for the P2 crux: bomber handjam, then swung my feet off and around for a one-point-of-contact swing into a kneebar to pull the move. That was a fun way to do it, although I admit it was not how I ha... more >>

Location: CO : Boulder : Flatirons : Central : Skunk Canyon : Photo
By: Joe Huggins When: Sep 3, 2009 | view comment >> | Comments: That's great! I was working on the route with my wife belaying, as we heard those guys coming down the canyon. It was the week before the first Snowbird competition. Bob asked me (politely) to get the hell out of the way so Patrick could do the route. Bob fixed the draws (while Patrick looked the other way), and then Patrick proceeded to crush the route mercilessly; however, he forgot a sling to hang and thread- no problem, he downclimbed with as much grace and power, calmly collecting... more >>
