Location: NV : Red Rock : Juniper Canyon : Cloud Tower : Crimson Chrysalis (5.8+)
By: jesse25 When: Apr 29, 2008 | view comment >> | Comments: Quality route, not as "overbolted" as some previous comments may suggest, except in one location on one of the upper pitches. I am a sold 5.10 trad climber and placed at least a couple pieces on most of the pitches. I only mention this because I dont want other climbers to be lured into a false sense that they can leave their racks at home!
As for the popularity of this one goes, I dont know what all the fuss is about. It was a three star, maybe three and a half star, route, but not four. It... more >>

Location: NV : Red Rock : Juniper Canyon : Brownstone Wall : Arms Reduction (5.9+)
By: jesse25 When: Mar 2, 2008 | view comment >> | Comments: Did this route due today....boy what a dissappointment! From the prior reviews I thought it would be more enjoyable. The first pitch didnt seem to protect as well as the first pitch on Armatron, and there wasnt an anchor at the top of the first pitch.
At the top of the first pitch of Arms Reduction, we traversed over to join Armatron midway through the second pitch. Boy what fun! As we were rapping we scoped the first pitch of Armatron and it looked stellar, certainly a LOT better than Ar... more >>

Location: NV : Red Rock : Calico Basin : Riding Hood Wall : Physical Graffiti (5.6)

I found this out once when I had to rap from the anchors with a single 60m after my partner refused to ascent the lower section due to nerves. I luckily found out I could reach the ground with a little room to spare with a single 60.

Location: NV : Red Rock : Black Velvet Canyon : Black Velvet Wall : Dream of Wild Turkeys (5.10a)
By: jesse25 When: Nov 5, 2007 | view comment >> | Comments: A note about going to the summit - don't underestimate it. There's quite a bit of scrambling and some easy (but unprotected) 5th class above the 11th pitch. After going to the top, I think I would opt to lower after the 9th pitch to save the exhausting push to the summit and tedious decent (in the dark). Great experience though. The first 9 pitches were 6 stars at least!
