Comments: I don't think there is going to be any good ice for a while. Temps have been in the 50's the past 2 weeks.

Location: NV : Red Rock : Second Pullout : Magic Bus : Neon Sunset (5.8) By: Owen Carver When: 1 day ago | view comment >> |
Comments: I agree the bottom chain links looked like they've lost some diameter, but I'm not sure at what point they should be removed. (climbed 11.08.09) Great climb!

Location: GA : Rocktown By: Austin Cooner When: 4 days ago | view comment >> |
Comments: Rocktown is fixed! and 100% open for climbing. There is a small ford where the road used to be, but if you have anything larger than a motorcycle it should be fine to cross

Comments: A block with Anchors for some Upper Tier climbs (Dee-Lite & The Twister) has fallen. Not sure when but the block is in smaller pieces now.

Comments: There was a rope that went over the log across the river to hold on to/ clip and slide gear on. someone took it :( i liked that rope. it made the icy river below look much less intimidating.
thinking of setting up another one... but i don't want that taken too. anyone have two cents on the matter? if it'll be used and appreciated i will, if not i wont bother.

Location: CO : CO Ice & Mixed : Colorado Springs & vicinity : Pike's Peak : North Face of Pike's Peak : Total Abandon By: Pete J. Lardy When: 6 days ago | view comment >> |
Comments: Route is still in as of Nov. 10. Next time I would end the first pitch at the three pins 30'-40' below the 2nd pitch crux. This makes for a better anchor and belay location. Good ice pro (screws) at the crux, limited elsewhere.

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. As it stands, I wouldn't feel comfortable belaying anyone up or climbing this route mys... more >>

Comments: Conditions on Alexander's is thin yet. We only used 3 ice screws at the most. There was patches of soft snow in all pitches. Ice is forming quite well, but more rock than ice.

Location: NC : Rumbling Bald : Flakeview Area : Gunboat Diplomacy (5.10c/d) By: Eric Embree When: Nov 9, 2009 | view comment >> |
Comments: Great route overall (5.10b/c).
THE THIRD BOLT IS LOOSE!!!!
The hanger looks brown (I believe it's rusted and needs to be replaced too).
To the next people out there, bring a wrench to tighten it please.
Thanks!

Location: CO : Golden : Clear Creek Canyon : High Wire Crag : People's Choice (5.10d) By: Kevin Wieczorek When: Nov 7, 2009 | view comment >> |
Comments: As of Nov 7th 2009 the fixed gear could use a little maintenance. Four bolts had loose hangers (spinners). The bolt on the crux of pitch one, the first bolt above the anchors for pitch one, and the two bolts exiting the dihedral. I didn’t have a wrench (maybe I should start bringing one), so I left them how I found them.

Location: NM : Santa Fe Area : Truchas Peaks : Rio Quemado Falls : Unnamed (WI3) By: Eddy Daly When: Nov 3, 2009 | view comment >> |
Comments: Slogged up from about five miles out on 11/1/09. The road that follows the Rio Cebolla is impassable (except by quad or snow machine), but tracks on the upper road indicate it may be possible to approach via a relatively new logging road a mile or two west of the Cebolla. A couple small aspens have fallen across the road near the trailhead so bring a chainsaw if you want to drive all the way to the TH, or face a longer approach like we did. Falls are forming nicely but probably a month out from... more >>

Comments: I removed the chopped bolts late in 2007 so they are no longer a threat on that wall.

Comments: Had a friend head down there today. Judging from pictures the third pitch is in but still a little dicey (November 1, 09).

Location: AZ : Queen Creek Canyon : Lower Devil's Canyon : Lower Devil's East (LDE) : Firstday Tower : Happy Firstday (5.7) By: Marcy When: Oct 28, 2009 | view comment >> |
Comments: There is a large boulder on climbers right as you top out this route. It's not teetering or anything, but we will move it further back on the summit or trundle it in the next week or so. I (and others) have carefully used it w/out issue, and it is easy to avoid as well. Just wanted to give a heads up.

Comments: Climbed the first two pitches yesterday. Not much ice. The third pitch pillar needs about a month.

Location: UT : Wasatch Range : Rock Canyon : Galaxy Area By: Christian "crisco" Burrell When: Oct 24, 2009 | view comment >> |
Comments: The trail could use some repairs. I think I will try to get a trail day in soon. The first set of stairs has almost totally eroded away. The alternate start is very doable. To do this, walk up to the base of the Tap wall and move left on a basic trail until it drops a tiny bit and joins up with our original trail.

Comments: did this route early this morning for the first time, only found a few loose rocks most of the holds were bomber. I liked the movement on this climb a lot.

Comments: Well, I suppose I spoke too soon...someone removed the two biners I left at the top of Underdog. I guess a couple of cheap wiregates were worth more than their safety and piece of mind.
