Location: CO : Ticket Information for Kor'...

Comments: How about this idea:
AAC contacts Sender Films to do a high quality filming of the event...ticket holders and non ticket holders alike could purchase the film...with proceeds going to support Kor (Of course, I'm not sure how Kor himself would feel about the recording...).
Maybe even Sender could start to put together a larger documentary, including scenes from shows like this, photos and interviews with the greats, modern day footage of climbers on golden age routes, etc...in the similar spri... more >>

Comments: Steve Dieckhoff thought this climb was noteworthy enough to include in is outstanding book, Serious Play: An Annotated Guide to Traditional Front Range Classics. There's a quote worth mentioning about this climb: "You could spend hours toproping different variations on this face, eliminating holds until there are none left. The grace, technique and confidence you learn while mastering this type of climbing will serve you well in your climbing career" (p.49).

Comments: Great climb! Someone has 'adjusted' the stump recently. There is no longer potential for getting goosed/impaled. Very fun route!

Comments: Every pitch is outstanding! Another note about the wind: after clipping my draws to the bolts on p. 5, the wind would blow them sideways, back and forth! Just when I thought I was balanced against the gust, it'd swirl and come back at me from the other direction.

Comments: The first couple of moves give the beginning leader something to commit to...after that, it's a fun cruise.

Comments: Cool to lead with trad gear, do it and then do the big dihedral....the OW provides good cam practice, and the new anchors up top make it really convenient.

Comments: Clipping the third bolt is a bit tenuous, followed by some crimps to easier ground...feels like a 10-.

Comments: This is the most memorable trad climb at the cliffs. I thought it was just strenuous enough, but took gear well. Set an anchor with gear up top. Don't use the anchors on the detached block. We see people using those anchors when we go up there, but it is a bad idea...
