Comments: The pockets & jugs here are a must do! Rare that I've seen a climb that feels like you're climbing Swiss cheese. Definitely a 3 star in my book.

Comments: How is the drive down there once you cross into Mexico? Have never driven through Mexico, and it sounds like Juarez is NASTY right now. Just gathering info for a New Year's plans, Thank y'all!

Comments: Beside being a slice of heaven, I truly enjoy the curve of the earth caught by the filed of view. No place like home :D

Comments: V5? Seems a bit overrated for this climb, but the description lacks any indication that the toe hook on the NorthWest face of this boulder was used (bomber), or the crimp on the same face which begs to be held, also it may be an Ape index dependent climb (I have huge wingspan). This problem offers some of the coolest bouldering movement I've enjoyed!

Comments: James bravo on the book! Accurate, really easy to use w/ interesting background info. this place is a gem if the winds don't take you at night. It also seemed a bit sand bagged, fyi, but worth it!

Comments: This climb is done at the second bolt, that's where the rap rings should have been, or it is a boulder option with a spotter.

Comments: Crux seems to be the bottom, or just leaving the sit start. Dead point to the right, or bump up the left, and continue smoothly to the top. Climb down the south side of this boulder.

Comments: Great, shady summer climbing! However, maybe it's my height, maybe the climbs are a bit soft for they're rating, or maybe it's that the lines are a bit contrived, but of the ones I've climbed Twin Peaks seemed to be the only one that felt like its grade.

Comments: Felt like a 5.6 Eldo. I thought Calypso and Washington Irving offered more of a challenge. Rap down after 30 meters/100 ft. Two connecting holes w/ a bridge in the rock make it possible to thread a sling with a rap-ring. I wouldn't use the smaller of the two rock bridges, but somebody else did. SCARY! oh, to the left of the tiny tree that I also would tie to.

Comments: This climb is GREAT!! Little to no wind, starts off on a nice off-width. Face climbing at the top. The rotten rock appeared to be the top to us, which created a nice walk to some rap bolts to the left about 15ft. Stellar climb, stout too!

Comments: Why don't people go South on CO 85 to CO 67 and south on that and enter thru Westcreek? It seems like the back way and maybe shorter. What am I missing? Is it harder that way?

Comments: Is anybody familiar with which climb was FFA by Jim Erickson and Art Higbee, in 1976. It was captured on the film Free Climb: The Northwest Face of Half Dome?
