Location: CO : Colorado Springs : Garden of the Gods : Kindergarten Rock : South Side Topropes (5.6)
By: Ben Glover When: Jun 16, 2003 | view comment >> | Comments: Sorry if this sounds preachy, but please use a top-rope setup from the anchors. I was out with a first-timer last weekend and noted that the set of eye-bolts i was using was already worn 1/4 of the way through the bolt.
(And realistically 99% of people reading this site are already concientious enough to use a top-rope setup. I just hate seeing people saw through the bolts on popular routes like C-Gap and West Point Crack)
I'll get off the soap-box now.

By: Ben Glover When: Jun 10, 2003 | view comment >> | Comments: Does anyone know if the picture below is of the 1st middle buttress? I want to say that this shot was looking south by south-west from the top of the 2nd pitch of the Army route on the pinnacle (I think I"m one buttress off because its a touch west, but thought I'd ask before going on an epic)

By: Ben Glover When: Jun 4, 2003 | view comment >> | Comments: I really should wait until I get on the route again (which was supposed to be today, rain). However I want to say that the rating could reflect different variations at the crux. Particularly that the right side of the bolt line is a bit steeper and with less features than the left side (which features a conveniently placed bush, though its debateable if that's on-route for those ticking low-mid grade sport routes. sadly, like me).

By: Ben Glover When: May 28, 2003 | view comment >> | Comments: I hate it when I have the ability to answer my own questions (had to go come and dig through a stack of periodicals to find my R&I). Since I haven't climbed the routes, and know nothing about them I'll take liberally from the authors (working L to R, after Climbing by the Brooks:
