Location: CO : Fort Collins : Poudre Canyon : The Palace : The Chamber : Churchill Rejects (5.9+)

A toaster-sized block fell and luckily broke up before it crushed my treking poles while climbing this one day. My poles and pack where on the farside of the trail from the climb.

Location: CO : Fort Collins : Poudre Canyon : Eden area

The only guidebook I've seen any of these Poudre routes in is Peter Hubbel's out of print guidebook called 'Front Range Crags' 1993.
They will probably be in Craig Luebbens new guidebook when it's finished.
