| P2 is mildly runout, exposed and airy, which makes for a great pitch of 5.6. The second piece in the photo is the first and only bolt. | CO : Lyons : ... : Handcrack-a-rete (5.7+) | | Aug 2, 2009 |

| The start. Some commenters say you can get tiny gear below where Mike R. is in this shot. Better/adequate gear is to be had at a stance near Mike. Above Mike there is another runout right to the bi | CO : Eldorado Canyon SP : ... : Jack The Ripper (5.9+ X) | | Aug 2, 2009 |

Location: CO : Lyons : South Saint Vrain Canyon : Mushroom Massif : Freewheelin' (5.8+ PG13)
By: Bob Packwood When: Nov 7, 2009 | view comment >> | Comments: Only led P1 but this was an exciting lead. Friable and dirty rock in spots, but then it hardly gets climbed and that's the Vrain granite for ya.
The 5.8+ fingery traverse was exciting. Bit hard to place gear and there's a bolt below your toes.

By: Bob Packwood When: Oct 20, 2009 | view comment >> | Comments: A story: This was one of my first significant leads years ago. We didn't bring anything larger than a #3 Camalot. We had a 60m rope. I led P2 and just cruised right up into P3 like an idiot, feeling good. I placed my tipped out #3 well below the squeeze and began running it out. I stopped and attempted to get to the beat up "squirrel turd" rope (mentioned above), to no avail: it was too deep into the maw. I proceeded, now way too far above my last piece, to stem smoothly throug... more >>

(This comment and rating is to provide a counterweight to the excessively high star ratings above with which I most strongly disagree)
P.S. - The rap to the right IS more efficient and has the added benefit of not clogging the already frequently clogged route.

Location: CO : South Platte : Cathedral Spires Area : The Dome : Dos Equis (5.10b)
By: Bob Packwood When: Sep 14, 2009 | view comment >> | Comments: Be careful on the first pitch. The gear under the roof system is so-so rock quality and if it blows you're likely gonna deck. There was a fixed nut there yesterday, again in dubious rock.
This is a sweet, sweet friction climb with steadily increasing difficulty on each pitch.

Location: CO : Boulder : Eldorado Canyon SP : The West Ridge : West Ridge - Long John to V... : The Unsaid (5.9)
By: Bob Packwood When: Sep 5, 2009 | view comment >> | Comments: Don't be scared if you're a tentative 5.9 Eldo leader, just do this climb. It is not "run out" by Eldo standards. It's just classic Eldo: thin but good gear, devious technique crux sandwiched between decent rests, aesthetic line. Eldo is amazing.
