Location: CO : Alpine Rock : RMNP - Rock : Glacier Gorge : Spearhead : Syke's Sickle (5.9+)
By: Jake When: Sep 4, 2003 | view comment >> | Comments: Hey, did this a few days [ago], and if you want to bump the difficulty up to mid 5.10, there is a variation on the last pitch that allows you to do so.

Location: CO : Alpine Rock : The Crestones : Ellingwood Ledges (5.7)
