Comments: What's the beef? According to the comments on this site, 5.9 in Eldo is really 5.10, while most 5.11a is really only 5.10 (but could be 5.12 in Dream Canyon). I'm curious what grade 5.10 in Eldo really is? Oh yeah, Genesis is a great route and definitely 5.11a if you dive into the offwidth instead laybacking.

Comments: If this is the route on the detached block to the left of polygrip, rock lobster etc then I would have to strongly disagree with the bomb rating. Having done it, I thought the offwidth moves over the roof interesting, hard and very fun. 2 stars at least.

Comments: I remember there being some exciting 5.7 face climbing in the Moenkopi above the caprock roof with knifeblade. I was expecting a cruiser bolt ladder and got a little nervous when the bolts ran out. Awesome route with one of the best summits anywhere.

Comments: I think you can TR this route with a 60 m if you belay on top of the big boulder at the start. A little bit of a pain to downclimb from there but not hard.

Comments: Hey Paul, Just so you know, Potash is in the Navajo Formation. If you want Wingate go the creek.

Comments: A note about the "fixed anchors"...they're not very inspiring. The pitch one anchor consists of a drilled angle equalized with a knot tied in webbing used as a chock. The next anchor consists of one drilled angle. To supplement these anchors save some tcu's for the first anchor and some larger cams for the pitch two anchor (3.5 and 4 camalot). Great route. A little bit of everything.
