Comments: We didn't bring a nut tool with us yesterday on fine jade and got a hex stuck on the first pitch and a cam stuck on the second pitch. Sorry kind of lame but it happens. If anyone happens to retrieve those pieces I am willing to pay for shipping. I talked to some of you out there who were going up there today so hopefully you guys got those pieces.
Thanks a lot everyone,
Matt

Comments: There is apparently a roped tyrolean that is right next to the coffin. Pull off the road when you see the coffin and cross the river via the tyrolean. This eliminates the need to take the cable wire high in the tree.

Comments: Guidebook calls it a 5.8 but I pulled the crux on the second pitch and expected a little more. Pretty fun climb.

Comments: I have been to The Creek a lot recently and this climb was a fantastic Creek-style climb. One of the best I have climbed in Eldo. Easier than Handcracker. I just wish it was a little longer, but don't we all?

Comments: What does the seperation of Meat and Dairy have to do with a little mixed climbing on that wall? There are established mixed climbs on this wall.

Comments: 5.7+. The only good move on the whole route was the move getting into the crack off of the boulder. Old school for sure. I thought i was on the wrong route, but I kept climbing and had some fun.

Comments: I did this route on Wednesday after a final. After the traverse, that flake is way sketchy and a little focus is needed to get to that other flake. I definitely give the traverse section to the other flake, about 20 feet, a PG-13 or S rating. #3 cams can be used in the flake above to get to the other ledge.
When I was on top of the last flake trying to mantel onto the last ledge, I broke a small rock off that I was using for my left hand and landed back on the ledge, thankfully. Watch o... more >>

Comments: Don't bring gear. It's a waste. 1st pitch has been re-bolted and has plenty of bolts. 1st pitch also 5.8 instead of the 5.9+ it has been rated before. Lots and Lots of draws, thats all u need. Also the belay stations/rap stations are placed bad. A 70m rope is advised. It took forever with a 60m rope. The 3rd belay station has some webbing on the left side. Just keep your eyes open and you will spot it.
