Comments: Very fun route with a crux low around the second bolt and a crux high just after the overlap. I felt this route was significantly easier than Wes Bound, also on the Vestry.

Comments: This is an absolute classic...beautiful climbing on crisp edges with just enough for feet. Crux was right in the middle with a long reach on small holds.

Comments: Nice, but short. I looked for some kind of sit start, but couldn't make anything work.

Comments: From the turnoff from US 285 to 304, we clocked 3.1 miles to picnic boulder pulloff...lots of great potential around.

Comments: Fun warmup...Colorado beach bouldering at its finest. One or two moves of V2, the rest easier than that.

Comments: I thought this was a very fun climb. Bolts are well placed. The crux for me was after moving out on to the face and clipping the last bolt before the anchors. I'd say 10a is fair.

Comments: Fun route. The crack on the upper part of the route is more of a hand crack with some solid jams. I pulled off a loose sidepull just below the 6th bolt, but there are other good holds there to use.

Comments: I turned Gunther into a rock star!
It took me 10 tries
is that the only route you can try without buying it?

Comments: You can do Lover's Leap with just one rope. Last year, in early summer of '03, myself and my partner made 2 rappel stations to the right of the Lover's Leap, 5.7. Go to the top and find the tree with dark colored slings and webbing on it and a quick link. Rap towards the cross and follow down. You will see 2 chained rap stations. This way you don't have to bring up 2 ropes.

Comments: Climbed Montezuma's north ridge yesterday....It was great fun. I felt that the crux of the first pitch was definitely within the first 20-25 feet. Not hard, just unprotected. Surprisingly to me, I got quite a bit of gear in. A #13 stopper, light blue tricam, along with .75 camalot, and a #4 flexcam supplemented the eyebolts and thread all on the first pitch. I'm sure a better climber than I wouldn't need all that gear. Overall very fun route....but made more interesting by a st... more >>

Comments: I really enjoyed the first pitch of Comm. Warrior. It has two distinct cruxes that both involve long reaches on good holds. Fun short route. The bolts seem to be intelligently located. The only problem is the close proximity to the highway for the belayer.

Comments: What an awesome route! Definitely the steepest 5.7 i've done, but on nice positive holds. Great climb.

Comments: I am told that we must have a rope that's a bit longer than a 50m to have reached the tree belay on the first pitch. Use a 60m to be safe.

Comments: Just did this climb on Saturday (5/3/03) and thoroughly enjoyed it. To give some perspective, I've led 5.7, 5.8, and one 5.9, mostly crack and bolted face climbs. I struggled a little on the first pitch but made it through. If you stick to the bolted line, the crux is about 10-15 feet above the 2nd bolt. BTW, you can stretch a 50 m to the tree ledge barely. The only other runout we encountered was at the beginning of the third pitch. It's 20-25 feet to the first pro. After that, pitches 3... more >>

Comments: Great fun. 2nd pitch is a full rope length if you use a 50 meter rope. Be sure to save some hand/fist pro for the 2nd belay in the small nook left of the roof. The entire route is very well protected. A definite must do.
