Comments: Not the easiest 5.6 but a 5.6 nonetheless. Really fun climbing.

Comments: Pretty decent crag with fun climbs. Deserves a better page than this. Drop all the "unknown" stuff. Maybe MP needs to get off its high horse.

Comments: Climbed this in a party of three and had a blast. Well bolted and fun all the way up. Crux is near the top of P3, in my opinion. Was able to make it to the ground in only one rap thanks to the two 60m's we brought up with us.

Comments: Very new looking sling on the tree as of 6/28. No rings on it though.

Comments: Not a bad route. Maybe a couple moves I would consider harder than 5.5. Currently a very new looking sling around the tree.

Comments: Honestly, if you're in the Jurassic Park area, you should climb this. It's a nice route with some fun moves throughout.

Comments: Not a bad route, really. Kinda short though. This route seemed like good practice for placing gear on an alpine style route without the commitment of climbing a multipitch, alpine rock route. For what it's worth, I would say you don't even need cams for this route. The crack is very broken up and does not lend itself to cams. Instead, you can easily sew it up with wired nuts (heavy on the bigger pieces).

Comments: Anchors are still a bit loose and spinning. Top roped on 'em nonetheless. They're probably okay, but someone should think about replacing them. This route would be really safe with a set of nuts.

Comments: Great climb, but like most say, it really is too short. I would caution beginner leaders that the gear is quite small throughout, though you can find spots for bigger nuts and even a #1 BD. Still, everything is solid and as long as you have a few small nuts and small cams you should be able to sew it up.

Comments: Also, I think a number 4 works just fine in the crux. You can even bring up another if you want to protect the final 4th class moves to the anchor.

Comments: Climbed this route today. First time on ice. Main line seemed good enough to me. However, everything else seemed a bit too thin to me and my more experienced partner as well.

Comments: I gave this three stars because the climbing is really great with a lot of fun moves, especially for such a moderate grade.

Comments: The climbing on this route is all pretty straightforward, but I thought the crux was a little spicy and I took my time with it.

Comments: This is rather highball, and the landing isn't the best. Rather than bringing pads, I just go with a friend and set up a TR. Go behind the route and you can march up an easy slab, or more of a staircase, and set up a TR that you can back up with cams and nuts. I know people get crap for top-roping, but come on...it's a safe way to have some fun on an otherwise dangerous highball.

Location: CO : Boulder : Eldorado Canyon SP : The Whale's Tail : West Crack (5.2)
By: Joshua Steenburgh When: Aug 19, 2011 | view comment >> |
Comments: I think this is a great beginner climb, but I wouldn't call it 5.2. Seems harder than that, personally. I lead it yesterday and I hesitate to admit this, but I had some trouble with footing in the crux. However, it is easy to protect and still a lot of fun. I think for a beginner lead the West Dihedral may be a better choice, but that might just be me.
