Location: CO : Estes Park Valley : Lumpy Ridge : Batman Pinnacle : Batman and Robin (5.6)

Comments: Good descent, if you haven't left anything at the base, is to do the short rap off the summit (or downclimb north or west if you soloed), then third class up either side of Batman Rock and take the approach trail down. Third classing around the east side of Batman involves a short fifth class boulder problem -- gullies on the west side are easier -- don't take the gully closest to Batman but one to the left.

Comments: While doing Femp, I watched someone aid the 5.11 headwall on J Crack. They didn't seem to have any problem at all aiding it.

Comments: Climbing Sundance *IS* an adventure and a route like Eumenides epitomizes this. The only pitch that sucks is the fourth. The fifth, although dirty in places, still has some good climbing. The third pitch is definitely the best. Make sure to add your route-finding skills to your rack.

Location: CO : Estes Park Valley : Lumpy Ridge : Sundance Buttress : Kor's Flake (5.7)

Comments: Note that in the back of the chimney, there is an old fixed rope with loops tied in it. I was able to hook it with a friend and then used it to clip in for pro. Don't count on it though as it may be out of reach and you CANNOT see what it is fixed to -- might be an old squirrel turd for all I know.
