Comments: I broke a hold on this in 2008...one of the many jugs.

Comments: Great route, aside from the fact that the anchor placement sucks.

Comments: The route's name is Little Boys with Little Toys.

Comments: Or "Back Her Up Against the Wall and Caulk Her"...I believe this was the name of the route.

Location: CO : Caņon City : Shelf Road : The Bank : Heavy Weather (5.12a/b)
By: Jared LaVacque When: May 14, 2009 | view comment >> |
Comments: I onsighted both about 15 years ago and would say that Heavy Weather is slightly harder. Both have an obvious reachy crux, but Heavy weather is more sequential and does not have the rest that Pay Homage has. But then again, I also onsighted McFly .12d and Suedehead .12d at Shelf Road and think McFly was a little harder, due to it not being "my style".

Location: NM : Enchanted Tower : The Land Beyond : (10) American Psycho (5.12d)
By: Jared LaVacque When: May 12, 2009 | view comment >> |
Comments: Definitely does not climb like a typical ET route. But, instead like a tall boulder problem. It is still one of my favorite routes on this wall and worth doing.

Location: NM : Enchanted Tower : The Enchanted Tower : (01) South and Southwest (R... : (03) Shipwrecked (5.12c)
By: Jared LaVacque When: May 12, 2009 | view comment >> |
Comments: Aesthetically speaking, this route is excellent. I think it would get a perfect rating on any scale, if it did not back off after the monos and up the flake before hitting the endurance crux. It stands as one of my favorite onsights. I did American Psycho OS the same day, and was nowhere near as psyched. The only thing to top Shipwrecked, is Goliath...for a similar grade.

Location: NM : Enchanted Tower : Frog Prince : (09) White Queen (5.13b)
By: Jared LaVacque When: May 12, 2009 | view comment >> |
Comments: I am six feet tall and have done the crux going right hand over the lip and left hand. What I did feel more comfortable when going with my right hand was using my pointer and middle finger to hit the pocket versus middle and ring finger.

Comments: This route has an awesome sequence through killer pockets and edges. Though it is not a long route, it has definite appeal within movement.

Comments: Red Tape, Lee....
Yee Apolojieskie!!!
Thanks for the comments.
How many tags have you seen in Rifle or anywhere else? Anyway, there had been no development, for years. I believe you and I were there on a trip working on Debaser and saw more than a fair share. If someone can't climb a route in a reasonable time, they should open it up to others.
Let bygones be what they are.

Comments: You surmise correctly, aside from the fact that Mike threw a fit at the Greens, because a young "punk", sent the route easily. A route that he had projected and fixed with hardware. Once again ethics issues...which occur all over, especially in the U.S. Both Mike Johnson and Ian Spencer-Green are nice cats. There are no more adolescent fences to side over...these are the early nineties, when everyone was a douche, and Rifle never sported more than .14a or two because of a few over and under-zeal... more >>

Comments: The first ascent of this line was by Dave Shearer and Preston Hopfensprenger in 1992 or 1993. To the best of my knowledge it was never given a name.

Comments: Once again...knowing nothing but a feather in his cap and taking Geology 1001 at UCCS, Anonymous Coward spouts downward conversation sparked by the diametrically inspired oscar-the-grouch intellect (never knowing, nor inspiring his 100+ attempts at area "hard-man" routes) all over CO.(and then appending his unintelligible loci throughout most of Harvey Carter's lamest routes). Have fun jewel thief of the lowest demeanor. Anonymous Coward licks stones and has artificially manufactured (Use Your I... more >>

Location: AZ : Gate's Pass : One Move Wonder (V7)
By: Jared LaVacque When: Mar 20, 2009 | view comment >> |
Comments: So...this is a one move wonder. However, there are one move wonders in Rifle, CO.(that are more appealing than this polished bunch of garbage)
Instead of this, give these a try in the local area:
P.S. if you start Broken Rubber on the lower right side, (on the left hand broken start and the left hand matched...above the rocks that would hurt your bum if you fell, and continued up left to the left hand under-cling block pinch, then right hand dish...and then finished the problem(via the obvious... more >>

Comments: Or, to eliminate a move: start on right hand edge, left hand gaston, right hand to small pinch crimp rail, left to 1/4 inch purchase crimp and fire to the lip.

Location: CO : South Platte : Elevenmile Canyon : Spray Wall : The Dark Arts (5.13d)

Comments: The start without the glued feature is V9/10 and V7ish with it. I remember when(Ian) had it on his mantle, when it fell off initially :)Brett Green and I dug the route in each state....

Comments: A hold has broken, and it is probably V8...and if I am not mistaken, Ric Geiman had the FA on this.

Comments: Correction:
This route was first bouldered by myself and Ian Spencer-Green after Mark, Eric and Ed developed the area...circa mid (1996/7) 1990s.

Location: CO : Colorado Springs : Ed Rock
By: Jared LaVacque When: Dec 23, 2008 | view comment >> |
Comments: Before the hangers were removed, the routes(not enhancement) were put up by Mark VanHorn and Eric Christiansen and Ed. I helped with developing the base(landing area) and trail work. Ian Spencer-Green and myself are responsible for a few or the routes(which we bouldered, on the left side of the wall), but did not name.
