Comments: I placed red and gold camalots in the upper corner. A couple of blue camalots (#3) are also useful.

Location: UT : Moab Area : Fisher Towers
By: Brian Boyd When: Oct 27, 2009 | view comment >> |
Comments: The Fisher Tower turnoff is actually by milepost 21, not 27 as listed in the description. And, as of October 2009, the sign is missing on the side coming from Moab. We ended up driving all the way until we crossed the Colorado before turning around.

Comments: My gear list: Placed a blue camalot at the start, then gold and a 2.5 friend. This is my favorite route in the Pillow Wall.

Comments: This route get an 'R' rating for the unprotected upper crux section.
Bolt anchors have recently appeared at the top of this route.

Location: AZ : Central Arizona : Phoenix Areas : Pinnacle Peak : AMC Boulder : Delayed Flight (5.8)
By: Brian Boyd When: Apr 11, 2009 | view comment >> |
Comments: I thought this was a pleasant route, definitely a nice addition to the Pinnacle Peak slab circuit.
You can get a zero or one (purple or blue) TCU in the horizontal after the first bolt. Single bolt anchor, I used a couple of smaller camalots (0.5 -- 1 range) to backup the belay.

Location: AZ : Southern Arizona : Cochise Stronghold : West Stronghold : Sheepshead Area (Southwest) : ... : Ewephoria (5.7)

Comments: The beta photo of the first pitch is worth bringing along: We spent awhile looking around before deciding the the bushy gully was the actual start. In fairness, the snow piled up at the base and lack of footprints didn't help us much either.
My gear list: 1 ea, blue TCU, .5 and .75 camalot, 2.5 friend, 2 ea 1 and 2 camalot, 2 pink tricams. There were many opportunities for additional placements if needed. The moves on P1 aren't hard, but they aren't terribly obvious either.

Comments: The direct start is fun. Definite ledge-smacking potential if you blow the upper crux section.

Location: AZ : Northern Arizona : Sedona Area : West Sedona : Dry Creek Road Area : ... : Mars Attacks (5.9 PG13)
By: Brian Boyd When: Jan 26, 2009 | view comment >> |
Comments: There are more bolts on the first and fourth pitches than on the route description: I think 5 on P1, and maybe 6 on P4. Both slab pitches are well bolted.
My partner and I had flashed 5.10 slab at Pinnacle Peak earlier in the week, a place not known for its soft ratings. We've climbed 5.9 and 5.10 sandstone slab/face as well. The slab pitches didn't seem a whole lot easier here.
Regardless of the rating, Mars Attacks is an awesome route.
