Location: NM : Los Alamos & White Rock : White Rock : Below The Old New Place : (10) Flesh-Eating Gnats (5.11b)
By: Daniel Trugman When: 2 days ago | view comment >> | Comments: The fifth bolt also annoys me because when I clip and and climb past it, the draw blocks a great foothold on the arete.
Having climbed "Flesh-Eating Gnats" and "Wailing Banshees" about the same amount of times now, I still think Gnats is the harder route. With Banshees, if you can hold on to jugs for 40 feet and have enough gas left in the tank to fire the crimpy exit sequence (which isn't *that* hard), the route is all yours. Gnats has some genuine hard cranks off smallish holds, moves that ar... more >>

Location: NM : Los Alamos & White Rock : White Rock : The Overlook : South/East side : (05) Paul's Boutique (5.11b)
By: Daniel Trugman When: 2 days ago | view comment >> | Comments: Despite deceptive, sustained moves the whole way up, I don't think this route is any harder than "Bosker Boozeroo" or "Way Beyond Zebra" (if you find the good holds). Yes, you have to use small pockets and crimps for handholds below the third bolt, but the feet are good and the arete has some positive feature.
"Paul's Boutique" doesn't get climbed too often because of the cruxy (and unnerving) second clip, but it is a worthy route. I'll give it three stars if the bolts/anchors ever get replaced... more >>

Location: NM : Los Alamos & White Rock : White Rock : New New Place : (18) Hard Crack (5.10+)
By: Daniel Trugman When: Nov 26, 2009 | view comment >> | Comments: A little bit dirty (water-runoff?) but with a fun, strenuous crux. This is a good route to push yourself on if you aren't solid at the grade because the gear is so bomber.

Location: NM : Los Alamos & White Rock : White Rock : New New Place : (16) Have a Nice Day Yucca (5.8+)
By: Daniel Trugman When: Nov 26, 2009 | view comment >> | Comments: Super fun route, with interesting movement the whole way up. Seemed more on the 5.8 side of things to me, but the bottom half may be a bit harder for short people.

Location: NM : Los Alamos & White Rock : White Rock : Below The Old New Place : (10) Flesh-Eating Gnats (5.11b)
By: Jason Halladay When: Nov 2, 2009 | view comment >> | Comments: The bolt spacing between bolts 1 and 2 on this line is pretty spacious and could possibly result in a not-so-fun fall. That said, I've never seen anyone fall in that area. We did discover a .3 camalot fits pretty decently in a horizontal between B1 and B2 but didn't fully load test it. Maybe just enough psychological pro to help the leader move up.

By: Wa3lt When: Oct 24, 2009 | view comment >> | Comments: Luke Laeser and I replaced the hangers on these routes many years ago with super-ghetto angle iron ones we had sitting around. I believe Luke made them in shop class.

Location: NM : Los Alamos & White Rock : White Rock : The Overlook : South/East side : (29) Thorazine Dream (5.11d)
By: Daniel Trugman When: Oct 23, 2009 | view comment >> | Comments: Awesome. That is exactly what I was hoping to hear. To clarify my previous post, I do not condone chopping bolts. I think it is equally destructive (as far as the rock is concerned) to remove a bolt as it is to place one. I was merely pointing out that Roger had a valid point in saying that the FA should have been contacted prior to the retrobolt.

Location: NM : Los Alamos & White Rock : White Rock : The Overlook : South/East side : (29) Thorazine Dream (5.11d)
By: George Perkins When: Oct 23, 2009 | view comment >> | Comments: For this specific climb, please do not remove the controversial bolt.
The first ascentionist (Tom MacFarlane) has provided his guidance. While he was not communicated with prior to the retro-bolting it is Tom's preference that no further destruction of the rock occur by removal of the additional bolt.
Feel free to skip the 3rd bolt, and/or place protection in the horizontal crack, if you want to climb Thorazine as it was originally established.
