Comments: We cast off yesterday, aiming somewhat for Dogstar.
Starting in the very prominent WIDE corner a little left of center.
I never really knew where we were on the huge face, and just resolved to find A WAY up..
This buttress holds plenty of adventure for those who enjoy somthing off the beaten track. Theres also plenty of plantlife.
At one point I wished I had brought my Steaknives and Golfshoes!
No crowds, killer rock, and amazing views.
Just don't bring a topo and expect to follow it...

Comments: Oops.....
I have the unfortunate habit of forgetting just how long some of these routes really are.
now that I think about it, It's definitely a big grade IV.
After doing the Incredible Hulk, they all felt small.

Comments: I'd say it's a "first come, first serve" situation up there Adam. There are plenty of other routes on Rincon and if those dudes want to bumble thier way up it, then you'll just have to go huck laps some other day.I'll agree that it is frustrating when it happens, but we've all paid our dues.
cheers.

Comments: We attempted this line in early May, and retreated WAY low because of Insane Poison Ivy bushes.If you are allergic, better bring a priest, there seems to be no way around it.

Location: CO : Gunnison : Black Canyon : North Rim Routes : Porcelain Arete (5.9+)
By: justin dubois When: Mar 25, 2005 | view comment >> |
Comments: Sup Ryan,yeah, maybe I should have called my description " A Porcelain Arete", not "The Porcelain Arete".I didnt even notice the crack above the peg traverse, we had already gotten lost out right before that, and I guess I started picking up the pace a little.
As for that obvious corner you describe, I figured thats where Kor went, but I noticed that death pillar from below, and found a cool runout face to the right, that led to some corners and the sweet little finger crack I described.

Location: CO : Alpine Rock : RMNP - Rock : Cathedral Wall : Sublime Buttress (5.11 R)
By: justin dubois When: Dec 26, 2004 | view comment >> |
Comments: This route is one of the BEST routes Ive done in the park. The buttress is huge and steep, the pitches are interesting and zesty, and the belays are comfortable.it's really one of the longest routes around, at about 1000'. These boys really found a gem, and it was done in great style. The 5th or so pitch that busts out right onto nebulous and steep 5.10 with no gear, is one of the raddest in RMNP.Watch out for the crux 2nd pitch though, Its sick hard. On our first attempt, I climbed the corner t... more >>

Comments: I suggest that the title of this route be changed to "Spank-tro-vision", in honor of the first ascentionist.Other early suggestions included "All in with a pair of two's". Those of us who've played poker with Spanky know what I'm sayin'. Great route in any case, just watch out, that crack and slab up top is a wee bit zesty!

Comments: Just wanted to point out that in the photo below, the climber's right hand has full (and pressumably) firm grasp of the dihedral on Ramses. This however is not the usual beta for this route, as the climber pictured has a +34" ape index.

Comments: The Park [received] about 3 or 4 inches of snow last week. Fresh snow is visible on all major ledges and does not appear to be melting.

Comments: In June sometime my partner ct rumble(maybe you've heard of him) and I had a real hard time finding anchors on top, and I had rapped off a few years earlier so was real confused. After finding a shady anchor just east and below the summit we backed it up and rapped to the grassy ledge/2nd anchor. Upon which we found, resting on the ledge, the FIRST RAP ANCHOR!!! sketch! It was a loop of webbing that had either blown off, or the block it was around failed. FUN TIME.

Comments: That little hanging snowfield below the Window and The Obelisk was pretty big as of Thursday 7/15.might suck getting down that. The rest of Broadway from there is fine, almost completly snowfree. Don't know about he far left side above the East Face.

Comments: I did this for the first time yesterday, great pitch. For some reason I had it in my head that it was 10a, you can imagine my dismay when passing the second bolt, I thought for sure I was off. I managed it, but was glad to see it's called 10c. I've heard people say it's harder since the first ascent, maybe somthing busted off. Still, a great pitch that's pretty sustained and fun.
