Comments: Some climbers wanting warn folks: there are 2 main flows from the bottom, they strongly recommend taking the right start and traverse to the left to the P1 belay or wait til next season. 13cm screws for the first 300 ft with 17 cm screws for belays. They say "sorry."

Comments: From what I could tell they were older (original?) hangers and it didn't look like any of them had been chopped, but I wasn't inspecting them with that in mind.

Comments: From a distance, AMU appears to be starting to touch down, though thin. Lots of wind whipping snow around.

Comments: Absolutely no joke the bolt ladder on the Grand Wall has more generous spacing on it that this route. Someone could have bolted this route on lead from aiders, never venturing into their top step and still would have placed the bolts further apart.

Comments: You'll be trespassing to get to Campjack rock and most of the three large outcroppings are on private land (including that largest rock). Get the owner's permission and a written slip so the rancher/lessee won't call the sheriff. The owner is at 307.635.0710

Comments: Hate to tell you that this is private property and you are trespassing not only getting there but even while on the rock. The owner gives permission if you are nice and promise to pick up trash on the way in and out, but you should get a permission slip or the rancher/lessee will chase you off, or worse. Call the owner at 307.635.0710.

Comments: Moral of the story: Faster is better, get up at noon, lounge poolside until it cools down, get out to crag once everyone is high on the wall, and then blast to top of whatever route you want to, catching up to the other parties as they start the downclimb...

Comments: The last comment is why the Sport Park is the best climbing in front range...bolted cracks...sick...z-clipping off of ledges...the sickest...the only part that they are leaving out is that route was originally rated 13a because some wanker really wanted to "climb 13" so they put their own up.

Comments: I think there are two ways to toss up to the jug...one uses a sharp R hand with a devious L foot higher than you want, the key is to keep the L foot on long enough to toss/stand up with you L hand to latch the jug.
I think the other way involves going up with you R hand with lower, more even feet...better if you are taller.

Comments: Good route, I agree on the fun bottom moves. Also, exited to the left near the top, which I am sure was harder if you took it straight on. Fun. Please be on the lookout for possible raptor nest above Lunchmoney. I witnessed a large hawk landing and taking off briefly from an area above the anchors for Lunchmoney 5.9.

Comments: Does anyone know what the walk-off potential for this route is like if one goes EAST from the summit? Specifically, I like to link this up with the Yellow Spur sometime. Does that put you near the base of the Spur?

Comments: I climb in the Tarryalls and Lost Creek areas a lot, and Pete is certainly right. There is an amazing amount of quality stone and a handful of geezers, old farts and even a few young farts occasionally cranking up them.
The area is wild, long approaches are typical, information is scant, fixed pro is rare.... and thats exactly what makes the place so special. Past climbers have made a special effort, I believe, to maintain the wild character of the Tarryalls and Lost Creek Wilderness.

Comments: Rest assured my friends Lost Creek did not burn. We did a 23 mile loop on the south end and were blown away by the massive domes. Still searching for beta of the area but can't find anything. I am assuming its untouched by climbers but someone has to have scaled the incredible granite.

Comments: START EARLY, I know this is common sense on the big mountains,but we started at about nine, made it to the start of the ridge and had to turn around due to the time of day. of course were no speed demons! we certainly learned our lesson.
