Comments: Good climb. Not really a 5.11 though. It would be nice if someone could put a wrench to the left anchor bolt. It's nut was finger-tight after I left.

Comments: One of the bolts was replaced this past spring, it was in pretty tough shape (spinning hanger w/ a stripped nut). The tree that was used as a back-up for the anchor blew down at some point so we got that out of the way. The chains were added to the anchor to help with getting down after doing the 1st pitch. I just hope the gumbies are not top roping directly through the chains.

Comments: The answer to your question is YES, I do know who put it up.It was done ground up, on lead, hand drilled, in the middle of winter (finished 12-22-02). Full rap stations so you can rap at any belay or from the top down, no more nasty winter hike, and it is quite moderate as it only has a few 9+ moves. First pitch goes to the tree at about 5.7 second and third go 9 and 9+ to anchors, fourth and fifth to top go about a soft 5.8. You do need a small rack to about 3 and have fun.

Comments: I called the Forest Service on November 15th, 2004 and asked about the Palace. It is open to the public, just make sure you wade acrross the river, and take care of the place.

Comments: We climbed Stellar Drifter at the summit tier recently. A really cool 5.9 with big moves on big jugs. Nice bolts but not over done like Sport Park. The climb is two pitches and you need a 60m rope to do the top rappel (without two ropes). We had a few meters of rope left, so you might want to tie a knot in it. Also, beware of plants and loose rocks on the rappels. (10 quickdraws) Also, the tyrolean is really beat up and the sheath is busted on one of the lines. It held my 200lbs., but we... more >>

Comments: P1 is short and mostly 5.8 with a .8+ move near the top, being a painful hand jam crux. Can easily combine both pitches with a 60 meter rope, however the second pitch is much harder than the first, going at 9 or 9+.

Comments: It's sites like this that provide too much info, instead of letting people figure the situation our for themselves. For some reason, it's an American trait, telling everyone how much you know about a subject. What insecurity this represents. No wonder there is all this access issues, too many people with info they haven't earned, crossing someone elses properties, you'd be mad too if hordes of Front Range gapers crossed your property! [Eds. Life is short, gracious people like to share. Peac... more >>

Comments: thanks jack, couldn't agree more. the vrain is a special place and we should try to keep it that way. if anyone is really interested in chipping/ bolting with roadside access, i can recommend several pristine bridges and overpasses right here in longmont. (very close to many pubs). -chuckphlegm-

Comments: This is a great area to climb, however crossing the private property has landed a few friends in jail and carries with it a hefty fine, so don't tresspass stupid! I have also spoke to a few people who have sought permission to access the area and were turned away quite hostily (Climbers go away!). I have heard of people bringing a boat to the base of Chipeta falls and rowing across from there. This is really the only acceptable way to access this climb, but the bottom line is don't tresspass ... more >>

Location: CO : Caņon City : Shelf Road : The Bank : Back To The Future (5.11b/c)
By: A concerned citizen When: Dec 25, 2003 | view comment >> |
Comments: The fifth bolt (just before the crux) on BACK TO THE FUTURE (.11b) needs immediate replacement. The hanger popped off on me while on a roadtrip (no drill, no wrench) & doing a linkup of BTTF and the route to the right. I replaced the hanger, hand-tightened the nut, and marked it with a chalk 'X,' but the bolt is still too small for the hole and needs to be replaced---the hole itself looks fine.
Cheers--Dustin

Comments: Hey Hey...
This is Matty O- from the BRC. Just an FYI - The big incut crimp right above the sloping ledge that you jump to to start Kahuna Roof completely broke off the first week of November. It doesn't really make the problem any harder if you can go to the lip from the sidepull. However, for folks shorter than probably 5'8", the problem just got a good bit harder I would think. Still an ultra-classic though!
Peace-
