Comments: This feels like the Front Range 12b benchmark... absolutely stunning route... stoked to check out the two other highly rated 12s @ this wall.

Comments: Climbed the right most bolted line on this face. Thought it was LiaV, but it didn't feel 10c. Felt more like 11ish. Fun climbing but a tough warm up!
If you skate the bolt line to the left and head up the dihedral, it would probably go easier, but clipping would suck.
There's another bolted route on the same face, doesn't look to hard, but didn't try it.

Comments: A superb extension to this goes at about 10+/11- up the flake above. Very high quality

Comments: This is now my favorite 11 in the canyon, replacing curvaceous. Though there are still many I have to tick off.
Very high quality route with solid movement over the roof. Super enjoyable. Make sure to look around when hanging off the HUGE jug up top and enjoy the exposure.
VERY well-bolted.

Comments: standing up here and placing gear was SO the crux on this climb.. very us easy having your feet blow the little overlap so you can't see where your toes are.. even though they arein that monster horizontal. I spent about 5 minutes in this position until i was comfy with my gear before the traverse to the anchor.
nice shots and good send!

Location: NY : The Gunks : The Trapps : h. The Arrow Wall - CCK : Modern Times (5.8+)

Comments: "Modern Times is now 5.10 b/c"
damn.. that's a wee bit inflated.. compared to other solid 10s in the gunks this felt much easier.. pumpy sure, but no individual moves were that hard.. Moves on, say Feast of Fools, are harder, and I felt the route was just as pumpy.
Besides, half the fun of this route is that it goes at 5.8+.. sandbagged a bit.. sure.. but that's the best part! The + just means exciting!

Comments: Once you figured out the beta on the reachy move, this felt pretty 11d. It's just very atypical of other Shelf routes.
Really fun route though...didn't feel THAT polished...lots of chalk yes, but the holds are big enough and positive enough that it didn't pose an issue.
