Comments: Got on this route over the weekend; best i've done yet. The rock is unbelievable and the flow of the line is amazing. No real crux in my opinion, just stay with it and enjoy the climbing.

Comments: This is a long and very fun route. the technical crux is near the beginning, but try not to pump out to the top. great pocket climbing to be had as well.

Location: UT : Wasatch Range : American Fork Canyon : Division Wall : Baghdad (5.11b) By: McRae Williams When: Aug 24, 2008 | view comment >> |
Comments: This is a very exciting route. Technique is key to keep from pumping out. It is very powerful from the ground to the fourth bolt, so be efficient. I recommend a double draw on the second bolt; it will be very helpful.

Comments: This is one epic line. Powerful moves through deep pockets at the crux, and then a great jug haul to the top. Deffinitely one of the best tens in the canyon.

Location: UT : Wasatch Range : Big Cottonwood Canyon : S-Curve - The Pile : Right Pile (5.11d) By: McRae Williams When: Jul 8, 2008 | view comment >> |
Comments: This is an amazing route with very powerful and steep climbing. I fired the crux and then fell at the third bolt. I fell twice more between there and the chains working out the beta. I'll be back soon for the redpoint.

Comments: This route is exciting and steep. Shake it out at the jug below the third bolt then dont stop til the chains. Hard and sustained, but great.

Location: UT : Wasatch Range : Big Cottonwood Canyon : Salt Lake Slips : Witchhunt (5.10a) By: McRae Williams When: Jun 3, 2008 | view comment >> |
Comments: This was a very short but epic route. The crux is most definitely under and pulling the roof, easy after that. This BCC route is not to be missed.

Location: UT : Wasatch Range : Big Cottonwood Canyon : Ambush Wall. : Dead Drunk (5.10+) By: McRae Williams When: Jun 1, 2008 | view comment >> |
Comments: This is a very exciting yet slightly short route. The crux is pulling the first roof and the climbing is mellow and fun after that. I agree that it is a little easier than .10+ but still a great climb.

Location: UT : Wasatch Range : Big Cottonwood Canyon : Ambush Wall. : Bong A Long (5.9+) By: McRae Williams When: Jun 1, 2008 | view comment >> |
Comments: This is an excellent route. Positive holds bottom to top and very well protected. The crux lies in pulling the small roof at the bottom of the climb.

Comments: Fun short climb. Worth a run up. Not quite 11b, in my opinion it is a highball V2. Regardless, it is a fun little route.

Location: UT : Wasatch Range : Big Cottonwood Canyon : Salt Lake Slips : Entre Nous (5.8+) By: McRae Williams When: May 14, 2008 | view comment >> |
Comments: This is a very fun climb. Definitely use those feet and look for all the holds. I felt it was a bit hard for a 5.8, but I also felt that theiving magpie was a bit harder than a 5.7. Regardless, they are all very fun routes and an excellent place for your first lead or just chillin out on some easier stuff.

Location: UT : Wasatch Range : American Fork Canyon : Hard Rock : Treehugger (5.10b) By: McRae Williams When: May 13, 2008 | view comment >> |
Comments: Fun route with a well defined crux. I really enjoyed the crux move off of the little polished sidepull. I definitely felt the pump on this one, be efficient on the easier moves approaching the crux about 3/4 quarters up the climb. A bit harder than 10b in my opinion, but an excellent route over all.

Comments: My buddy led this route and then I top roped it. I fell at the crux, but then sent it. I want to work it on lead. The Longer moves with positive holds really got me stoked. Hope to redpoint soon.
