Location: CO : Golden : Clear Creek Canyon : Anarchy Wall
By: K Trout When: May 14, 2007 | view comment >> | Comments: June 27, 2007: I took off the massive blog that was here, just too much. The changes to the left side of Anarchy are covered in both Mark Rolofson's and Darren Mabe's guidebooks.
One new thing is that Mark got the bolt back in on the traverse last week. tech note: It took two battery packs (DeWalt) to get the old metal out and 1/2 inch rawl 5-piece in.
Sorry to have caused a stir and hope to see you all up there!

Location: CO : Rifle : Rifle Mountain Park : Ruckman Cave : Choss Family Robinson (5.11c)
By: K Trout When: Aug 20, 2006 | view comment >> | Comments: I wanted to tip the statistical mean on the rating consensus up a little with a 5.11d/5.12a rating, but that increment was not an available rolldown choice in the You And This Route window. I think the route is harder than 5.11c. My success rate on both Choss Family and Bolt Action is about the same, so they seem of equal grade. Harder move on BA, bigger pump on CF.
Why so many stars? Because CF is unusually steep, full of great holds and moves, very popular, nicely rebolted, protected from... more >>

Location: CO : South Platte : Pine Area
By: K Trout When: Aug 10, 2006 | view comment >> | Comments: When it comes to wannabe hillbillies and bolt-choppers, there may be sad irony. The historic rocks above Pine might have had less of both problems if the proposed Twin Forks Dam had been built. The lake's shore would likley have had recreational access rights while also drowning out the local route-vandal habitat.

By: K Trout When: Aug 9, 2006 | view comment >> | Comments: Rob Baker and I put this one in about 1982. We took turns drilling on the lead from free stances that really pushed the limits of our nerves and toes.

Location: CO : Alpine Rock : Capitol Peak : Northwest Buttress (5.9)
By: K Trout When: Jul 24, 2006 | view comment >> | Comments: Capitol's NW Buttress is one or maybe two stars. A beautiful sight, like Mt Morrison in the Sierras, but too rotten.
7/12/2008: The summit and descent on Capitol are really cool too. It's good.

Location: ID : City of Rocks : Morning Glory Spire : Photo
By: K Trout When: Jul 20, 2006 | view comment >> | Comments: 7/13/2008: I had a comment about beta that SLC Brian was refering to and took it off since the route now has a web page. I recently saw a magazine cover about Josh being the best cragging in America. To me, just this one spire, Morning Glory, blows Josh away. And I like J-Tree!
