Comments: Overall, a fun route and worth doing. Much better than it looks. Yes, some loose rock here and there that is fairly obvious. But, fun climbing with an interesting crux. 170' to the big tree. Drag was not bad. Two easy raps down the fall line.

Comments: I'm with Sam. Leave the bolt alone. The wide protects well with a big piece. I placed an old number 4 and clipped the bolt for nostalgia. Let's keep a little adventure out there.

Comments: This route has been incorrectly listed in some guide books as RP City and I called it "not rp city" in my topo because the name was unknown at the time.

Comments: This is a fun route. I'm not sure why it has a pg13. It has bomber bolts closely spaced the whole way except one section where the climbing is quite easy relative to the rest of the route, maybe 5.6.

Location: UT : Moab Area : Kane Springs Canyon : Ice Cream Parlor : Linda's Way (5.10+)
By: Greg D When: May 14, 2012 | view comment >> |
Comments: This route has a plaque under it calling it Linda's Way 5.9. It appears that the bolter placed the highest bolt on this route right in the middle of the final 20 feet of Pork Soda which I came upon while climbing Pork Soda which I have climbed many times several years ago as well as today. The new line leads right to the existing anchor of Pork Soda which is fine but to place a bolt right in the middle of a long time existing route is unacceptable. Please remove it and reinstall it out of reach ... more >>

Location: CO : South Platte : West Creek : Thunder Ridge : The Quarry : River Dance (5.8)

Comments: This was my first time at Thunder Ridge, and this was my first route there. I felt confused part way up the route. The bolt placements seemed strange and out of character for South Platte and too close to natural pro. At one point, I was well above a bolt before I even saw it. Keep in mind, I just had knee surgery and was looking for moderate, fairly well-protected routes.
Then I shouted to my partner, "This route is weird. Much of it could be protected with gear."
Later, we climbed t... more >>

Comments: Yeah. No. It does not get rained on... ever. But, I appreciate the concern. Look at the picture. It has been raining hard enough to flood the belay. Yet, the route is bone dry.

Location: CO : Boulder : Eldorado Canyon SP : The Wind Tower : Wind Tower - SW Face : Left Out (5.9- R)
By: Greg D When: Jun 5, 2011 | view comment >> |
Comments: Really good route. Would be 3 stars if not for the small amount of loose rock. Great exposure. The moves are a bit deceptive in the beginning. A #3 Camalot was very nice to place in a triangular slot right off the ground during the first few juggy moves. A comparable sized hex may be even better.

Location: CO : Boulder : Boulder Canyon : Animal World : The Balance (5.11a/b)

Comments: There is good gear down and right of the first bolt although not obvious once you do the easy scrambling trying to reach the first bolt. I would agree the first bolt is not well placed. The movement on this route is good once you get into it, although it is a bit licheny since it appears to get little traffic. I placed cams from tips to number 1 Camalot and a few nuts to supplement the bolts. Worth doing if in the area and when it cleans up a bit more.

Comments: Why do you need to get gear in? The photo may be deceiving, but from my couch it looks like you are on toprope.
