I think you need to change all of the climbs to show "sport", rather than "trad" in the title/info.
I'll head in late spring for my Granite's fix, and should have time to check out some of your new slabbies.

If you're ref. to the massive boulder with the big splitter that goes thru a roof at its bottom (Cranium Capacity, 10b), then it has been climbed before, and is in a guide. . . . I believe Bernard (Rock Climbing St. Vrain Canyons guide) says it goes at 5.10+, although it seemed harder to me. There's a few short routes or high boulder problems on this rock.

Comments: Isn't that on the North St. Vrain? Looks like it, and if so, does have some exisitng climbs on it. They are mentioned in Bernard Gillet's new St Vrain climbers guide ("Gateway of the Narrows" is the rock).
Cheers!

Try e-mailing Bernard G. - he knows this area and its history better than anyone I'd guess.

Comments: Where is this? Looks nice.
There is a nice big crag up the S. St. Vrain canyon called Area 51 (next to Mushroom massif). You could find yourself in court over plagiarism charges. . . maybe even copyright infractions!

Comments: You kids are the freakin' champs! I've been eyeing those horriffic hoodoos for too many years.
Someone finally did it. . . and posted it even!
So tell me, was it worth it punk. . . well, was it?
(Good job, Paul)
Have you been to the top of the rim? If so, is there anything up there? I'm not sure of how to access, but I'll find out next week. There does seem to be some canyons and rock formations up there. . . .

Stuck the pic on Stolen because of the backdrop - another's on the FT main page.

Comments: Hey kiddies - Yes, Happy Jarhead B-day, and Veterans Day!
I sent Sgt. C. a rope a few weeks back, but haven't heard if he rec. it or not. Yo Sarg, any word?
I sent via USPS, and the guy at the counter seemed to know what he was doing (1, 60m, 10.5 rope = $22. shipped)
Hope all is going well enough.
Thanks for pushing this John.

Comments: Look, I'm in no fear of rangers and their tickets. . . because I pay. However, if I didn't pay, and was cited, then I sure wouldn't be bitchin' about it.
If you don't want to pay, camp outside of the grounds - a no-brainer really. If you want the benefits of the maintained grounds, then penny up.
If you care at all about the health of a high-use environment, then you'd understand the benefits of a patrol - and the fee.

By: camerones When: Jul 12, 2007 | view comment >> |
Comments: ATS, Bob D, Mark N. . . right on.
In my past I most definitely wrote littering tickets.
Park Rangers are statewide officers who uphold traffic laws thru to wildlife laws. . . there jobs can be very hectic and certainly all-encompassing. MOST laws are needed and of definite value (imo). Leash laws for example may seem ridiculous to the pet-owner, but certainly not to the wildlife or the visitor who happens to be afraid of dogs, or simply annoyed by them.
Society is complex, and congregations ... more >>

Comments: Heya Randy -
It's true that they still charge for walk-in, but it's cheaper ($3?), which is why I said you could save some money.
I fully agree with the visitor center funding (way too much), but we have to understand that some park visitors LOVE this kinda stuff - the parks are moving toward accommodating the upper class and the elder of our society (which is why the center is so elaborate and in the detached setting at the rear of the park). They are trying to cater to all visitors. . . you... more >>

Comments: Reallocation of funds (i.e., maint. rather than copper sinks) sounds reasonable.
I'm no proponent of big brother, but sometimes, some places, need special management plans. If Eldo wasn't a state park it would be private or an entire mess with constant sheriff patrols needed.
Chris M:
No you aren't trespassing, you are failing to pay the posted entrance fee (title 33 law). If you don't like the price, walk in or bike (hell, you could "save the planet", some money and us from your snivels). ... more >>
