Comments: The second pitch of this climb is actually pretty fun 5.11 climbing. It is definitely dirty but still worth it. It can be done as one long pitch and we could just barely reach the ground from the upper anchors with a 70 meter rope so be careful when lowering off.

Comments: A large chunk of rock fell off this last week. The piece that is missing was used as a foot hold in the crux. The route still goes at 12b, but it is a little trickier for your feet.

Comments: I went to Rifle on Tuesday and there is plenty to climb that is dry. I am not sure about this weekend though, the weather looks pretty grim. It gets cold in a hurry if the sun isn't shining.

Comments: I have climbed 3 times in Rifle in the past few weeks. Each time I have been in a t-shirt in the sun. With that said I wouldn't venture up here unless you live close by. One cloud right now could ruin your day. March is a tricky time. The weather is usually fine but a lot of the routes seep this time of year. If you aren't picky with your routes you should be fine in March as long as it is sunny.

Comments: I agree something must have broken. There is a large chalky block on the ground. Seems hard for the grade, and not that fun. You can see a large undercling jug in the bulge in the picture above that is no longer there.
