Location: CA : Joshua Tree National Park : Hidden Valley Campground : The Blob
By: Jeff Buhl When: Apr 12, 2009 | view comment >> | Comments: If you are climbing up Beginners One or Beginners Two expect the down climb to be of about the same difficulty but much more exposed (and w/o a rope). For a rock with so many beginner climbs it could use a rap anchor. Looks like a few have been chopped.

Location: UT : Moab Area : Potash Road : Wall Street : Shoot Up or Shut Up (5.11a)
By: Jeff Buhl When: Mar 4, 2009 | view comment >> | Comments: This is a good route with aesthetic moves but as with many routes on this rock it seems some of the edges are wearing away and perhaps the grade is ticking up a bit as a result. The bolts are updated. To supplement the bolts a red alien works between the 2nd and 3rd bolts. A small nut between the 3rd and 4th bolts and a #4 camalot above the last bolt protecting the last crux move would give you some additional piece of mind and gear at your waste as you pull the move.
Have fun!

Location: NV : Red Rock : Icebox Canyon : Frigid Air Buttress : Frigid Air Buttress (5.9)
By: Jeff Buhl When: Apr 28, 2008 | view comment >> | Comments: Interesting Route.
On the "man eater pitch" my partner I became confused (with beta from the next pitch) and climbed out right (from where the bolt is) along a seam to a short hand crack that leads up to the belay ledge. This alternative is very easy way around the thrashing you will receive going directly up the crack - though it will likely diminish the overall "experience". If electing to take this alternative note that cams from .5 to 3" will protect this variation (5.6-5.7 ish) and becar... more >>

Location: CA : The Needles / Kern River : The Needles : Voodoo Dome : White Punks on Dope (5.8+ PG13)
By: Jeff Buhl When: Apr 28, 2008 | view comment >> | Comments: I have done this route several times and agree that it is absolutely stellar. From a historical perspective the slab pitch originally did have three 1/4" bolts for protection (it was quite a ways from the third bolt to the top of pitch) but I recall that the last time I climbed it the pitch had been re-bolted with modern bolts and a 4th bolt was added to the climb. I think the fourth bolt makes it a safer and more enjoyable climb.
You can also access some of the other Needles climbs from this... more >>

Location: CO : South Platte : Goose Creek/Molly Gulch Cam... : Sheeprock : Land that Time Forgot : Nazca Line (5.10a/b)
By: Jeff Buhl When: Feb 27, 2008 | view comment >> | Comments: I thought this was a rather fine route. I really enjoyed the headiness of the third pitch in contrast with many of the other pitches on this wall that are very comfortable. The bottom line is that you will not get hurt on this climb in a fall and climbing is both really good and not that runnout (compared to other South Platte slabs). Deserves more than a single star.

Location: CO : Boulder : Eldorado Canyon SP : The Bastille : The Bastille - W Face : Blind Faith (5.10a)
By: Jeff Buhl When: May 14, 2007 | view comment >> | Comments: It was too difficult to sort through the comments above, so I thought I would quickly recommend the 10c variation over the 10a variation.
The climbing on the 10a side is a bit of a grovel (though well protected).
The climbing on the 10c side has much more aesthetic movement and gear that is just as good. Yellow and green Alien and or nuts can sew this up. Give it a shot!

Location: CO : Boulder : Eldorado Canyon SP : Peanuts Walls : Upper Peanuts : Gravity's Angel (5.11b)
By: Jeff Buhl When: Jul 26, 2003 | view comment >> | Comments: This is truly a great route - although there are many to choose from it stands out as solid for the grade and aesthics of the movement. There are several distint cruxes that require solid foot, hand, body, and head work...and not too much chalk to show the possiblitiles. Awesome!
I see that these bolts are ~16-17 years old and are looking fairly rusted. Realizing that the are 3/8" and that this may sound silly - Does anyone have any idea if they are still relatively safe? or the expected li... more >>

By: Jeff Buhl When: May 21, 2003 | view comment >> | Comments: So are Turkey Rocks open now (as of 5-21-03)? I checked the gov't site above but it was " under construction". Any information is appreciated.
