Comments: No, Stonewall starts on the arete or the FFF, which clocks in at solid 5.13 with a high crux, then it traverses right on thin and technical crimps. A fun little addition to the area that I really enjoyed climbing on, thanks for all the hard work, Matt!

Comments: Haha, I know. I knew what happened next, and yes, Jason, that's a big boy you had on the end of your line.

Comments: Great shot, Jay, and I'm psyched to watch you send, Luke. Side note, it looks like Jason has you on a short leash there, haha.

Comments: Thanks! I'm glad you enjoyed what the wall had to offer. I think it came out pretty well. Thanks for your your input on the grades, it is hard to be precise because I climb in Clear Creek so much that I'm very used to the style. I do think that the routes, at times, may be a little stiff for the grades depending on your height and crimp ability.

Comments: I got on this thing today after looking at it for a few years and found it to be tougher than it looks. It needed a bit of cleaning and chalking up, and the fingerlocks were in crumbly rock and not solid, but it felt hard for the grade. Maybe the fingerlock has widened over the years. Overall, kind of interesting climbing on the upper half.

Comments: Congrats on the send! I agree with those comments. The upper crux is hard, but short. Compared to other routes in the canyon, I think that 13- is about right if I'm being honest with myself.

Comments: I'm psyched you enjoyed it! My goal was to find the best way to get to the the upper section of hard climbing. The ending that is steep jug hauling and fun, slightly unnecessary, hero throws is a fun way to finish it.

Comments: You bet! It's super fun! I had such a good time bolting and climbing this line. It has cleaned up nicely and will only get better!

Comments: I got on this thing today and found it to be a really cool rock climb. All the climbing on the second half is so cool! The crux for me was clipping the last bolt. It's hard to clip mid-crux, at the top of the route, when you're a little pumped, and can't find good feet to take a hand off and clip. Maybe that's the thrill.... The climbing itself is 3 stars and definitely worth the effort. Thanks for putting in this addition!

Comments: The wall does seem to be complete with this sweet route. It couldn't have turned out any better for this route. What a fun time, Jay! All that work finally paid off, haha.

Comments: Haha, it was sketchy enough with my belayer holding a camera in one hand and belaying me with the other. It was so tedious bolting on lead that after reaching the top, I added a few on the way down for safety. It sure makes you respect some of those routes in Yosemite, eh. It's good to hear from you.

Comments: Excellent route, Luke! Definitely worthy and much better than it looks from the ground. The stone has quintessential Clear Creek friction. Good for beginner leaders with all the bolts.

Comments: 10-4 on the trucker, Jay. The new Tyrol looks great. Maybe next time we will know the difference between a white static and a white dynamic rope, haha.
