Comments: After clipping the old pin on the first pitch I went right plugged a .75 cam then up the rest of the pitch. The second pitch was stellar. If it wasn't for the distraction of the first pitch I would give it ***

Comments: This one felt a bit harder than the route to the right.

Comments: It sounds like you started on Jet Setter. This route is just left of #10 and is usually toproped from the [Moby Grape] anchors or lead climbed with runout pro.

Location: CO : South Platte : Elevenmile Canyon : Arch Rock : Waiting for Staircase 1-3 (5.8-)

Comments: On the route closest to the staircase the hardest section was right off the ground. The climbing after that is much easier. Same with the second climb from the left. There is another face climb next to the hollow flake that is a fun 5.6.

Comments: The far left crack was an offwidth, the second from the left was a hand crack and the funnist of all the climbs, the right one was another offwidth that was ok. Good place to practice your crack climbing skills.

Comments: Climbed this one for the first time today. I don't know why I've waited so long to get on it but this route is one of the better ones in the [Garden]. We climbed [Crescent] .9+ the same day and this felt much easier, guess it because the feet are better on this one.

Comments: I'm posting this here because there isn't a section for spray rock. Does anyone have route information on the 4 or 5 slab routes just downstream from spray rock?

Comments: Bob, I have no problem with removing the bolts. They were added without contacting the first ascensionist. Do you know who the FA is for the route? There were 3 routes on this rock that were used to teach clean aid climbing techniques in a mountaineering course. This was the convergence point and allowed easy and safe belaying and bailing in bad weather. The location of the anchor makes for a much better belay and allows safe retreat. This is a weak point for changing a route, but I would ... more >>

Comments: Is this the route that is located two routes right of Ben Dover? If it is the climbing was fun with a great crux to get from a sloper/jug with bad feet to the lip. good stuff.

Comments: Fun route. mostly 5.6 climbing with a 5ft. section of 5.8 near the top. Felt easier than [Pine Away] to me.

Comments: Fun climb on edges and knobs. Forget about the flake thing on the right, no need to go there.

Comments: Did [The Geat Zot] start. The first 2 pitches weren't that [memorable]. The third pitch was fun, the 4th was stellar steep climbing for the grade. Went straight up the arete for the fifth pitch with was as good as the 4th. Belayed from the pinacle and got some killer photos then cruised the last pitch. could have easily linked pitches but it was a casual day.

Comments: Fun route that busts a roof on big jugs, the crux was after the roof near the anchors.

Comments: Thought it was a great route but felt easier than most the .9's that day. If this crack were in the South Platte it would be a .7.

Comments: Thought just before the anchor was a touch harder than B/C. Fun climb though.

Comments: I thought the route was junk. Watch for that loose block just left of the last bolt.

Comments: I really liked this one. A steeper .9 on big holds. There is a birds nest in the undercling right of the anchors.
