Location: International : Taiwan
By: Matt Robertson When: May 28, 2009 | view comment >> | Comments: Long Dong currently has around 500 routes on high quality sandstone up to 70 meters high, including sport routes (5.5 to 5.14a), trad up to 5.12c, and bouldering. The area is on the Northeast Coast of Taiwan about 45 minutes from central Taipei City, and also offers great swimming and diving, hiking, amazing seafood and friendly Taiwanese culture.

Location: International : Thailand : Krabi/Phra Nang Peninsula (... : Tonsai Bay : Dum's Kitchen : Jumping For Jugs (5.11b)
By: Matt Robertson When: Sep 29, 2008 | view comment >> | Comments: If you can touch the first hold at all, you likely will find the subsequent steep climbing more difficult than the start. At 5'9", white, overweight and unable to touch a basketball net, I could latch the jug. I found the climbing above to be pumpy and nice; only the back-scratching tree branches detract from the quality.
It should be noted that this route is probably more like 12 meters right of Wake & Bake (the first route right of W&B is By Way of Deception, another nice route wi... more >>

Location: International : Thailand : Krabi/Phra Nang Peninsula (... : Tonsai Bay : Generator Wall : Pearl Jam (5.12-)
By: Matt Robertson When: Jun 25, 2007 | view comment >> | Comments: If you're missing Valley jams while on Tonsai, check out this route.
This is the most impressive limestone crack I've ever seen. It is steep, tall, wide, and unrelenting. It looks like a granite fist crack and appears from the base as if one could use #4 Camalots to protect it... about 20 of 'em. In fact it climbs more like limestone than granite, there are features, making for some gymnastic movement--complete with fists! Damn burly and inspiring route.

Location: International : Thailand : Krabi/Phra Nang Peninsula (... : Railay West : The Thaiwand : Out of Sticks (5.12a)
By: Matt Robertson When: Apr 12, 2007 | view comment >> | Comments: New bolts as of early '07.
Devious and sustained, with multiple cruxes.
Perhaps harder than Caveman and nearly as good.

Location: International : Thailand : Krabi/Phra Nang Peninsula (... : Railay West : The Thaiwand : Lord of the Thai's (5.12b)
By: Matt Robertson When: Feb 28, 2007 | view comment >> | Comments: The first two pitches can be linked. Doing so will be pumpy with runouts and/or rope drag. Pitch 3 is one of the finest bolted pitches on the planet.
In February 2007 Tim Emmett BASE-jumped off the top of this route after following every pitch free with a 25-pound pack.

Location: CO : Boulder : Eldorado Canyon SP : Shirt Tail Peak : Gambit (5.8)
By: Matt Robertson When: Jan 10, 2002 | view comment >> | Comments: The start of this outstanding route is vague and nondescript. If you find yourself wondering where to go on the first-pitch slab, look up and left. A sickle-shaped finger crack on the left wall of a right-facing dihedral, about a hundred feet up and visible from the ground, is a good landmark to shoot for. Best 5.8 in the canyon.

Location: CO : Boulder : Eldorado Canyon SP : The Wind Tower : Wind Tower - SW Face : Reggae (5.8)
By: Matt Robertson When: Dec 3, 2001 | view comment >> | Comments: Gear is good at the crux, but the 5.8 leader needs to be ready to punch through a few moves without stopping. There are a few feet of layback moves on which one COULD stop to place more pro, but doing so might bump the pump up to 5.8++. I think Reggae is a good indicator of the confidence your 5.8 leader has in her gear; as one of my very first trad leads I recall feeling quite concerned stepping up on the layback until I grabbed that fine jug above.

By: Matt Robertson When: Nov 13, 2001 | view comment >> | Comments: Those step-chipping bastards with the alpenstocks. We oughtta vow to lynch any bastard seen climbing with an alpenstock.
Where on the Spectrum does "chipping steps with alpenstock" lie?
