Jan 12, 2013

South Ramp

 (1 p)

Has a great view from the summit. Pleasantly surprised!

Dec 2, 2012

College Drop Out aka East Face North Side

5.7 (6 p) 

CO : Flatirons : ... : Third Flatiron

Oct 20, 2012

Triple Exposure

5.12c/d C1 (4 p) 

CO : Colorado Springs : ... : North Face / North End

Aid C1. Thought I did P1 but looked at topo and I guess it was P1 and P2. Can't wait to do the rest!

Oct 7, 2012

Finger Ramp

5.7 (1 p) 

CO : Colorado Springs : ... : Southwest Face / Finger Fac...

Last bit to the chains is a wee bit runout on the hardest part of the route. Doable though.

Oct 7, 2012

Unzipped

5.7 R (1 p) 

CO : Colorado Springs : ... : West Face

Long runout to first bolt. Would be a long trip to the ground.

Sep 1, 2012

Long John Wall

5.8 (4 p)

Rope stuck in flake while pulling the crux of P2 = no fun! Worked out though. Cool route.

Aug 26, 2012

Lemmings

5.8 (2 p) 

CO : Eldorado Canyon SP : ... : Wind Tower - SW Face

Aug 15, 2012

College Drop Out aka East Face North Side
