Comments: Definitely in Eldo's Top 10, no top five routes. Everything about it is great! Great gear, great positioning, vertical, comfortable belay ledges, exposure, and so on....

Comments: Did this last night and it is still owned by the Pigeon King.
I felt that this route was definatly harder then any other 10 I have climbed anywhere. This come mostly due to the Bird crap that greeses every hold through the crux. This climb was the closest my head will ever get to being in the rectum of a bird. Great movement but route gets 3 demerit points for it's condition

Comments: I did the same subliminal seduction to no lo contendre, fell at the crux move pulling onto the ledge. stopped about 4 feet off the ground. A Scary fall but clean and once you pull through that move it's easy climbing, be solid on 10 or be good at rolling out of your fall the first bolt is about 10 feet up, but thats only bouldering height anyways. Fun Route!!!

Comments: No wonder this route always has a line, THE BEST 5.7 EVER! Can easily be done in 2 longer pitches without much rope drag if you have fairly good rope management skills. Climb past the first pitch and then past the start of Out Space then up to the Traverse at the top of the in cut ramp. Belay before doing the Traverse. From there, lead to the top. Have Fun!

Comments: Bolts are where you need them. However, unless your a solid 11 Eldo climber you may want to have health insurance before you try to onsight this climb.

Comments: Do this climb in 2 pitches. Get ready for a descent that will take as long as the climb, worth it though.

Comments: Great Route! Run out but you can get gear where you need it, any 9 leader should be fine on this route. The crux is on the first pitch and although it is run out the falls are clean. Get on it! I would agree with Mic, and by the way Mic, good job on the time!!!

Comments: Great Route. did it the second time! I would suggest using one single 60 meter rope to get up and down this via Alexander's Chimney. No rope drag and much faster this way. Time is everything up here.

Comments: If you stay on the slab and follow the bolt line directly this route is every bit of 12-. 11c/d if you go left and use the mini dihedral but the initial slab moves are definitely 12.

Comments: I would say that going strieght up in line with the bolts makes this a solid 11. The route is ok, but going left to the piton is a better variation.

Comments: No established path up to this crag, LOTS OF POISON IVY and there is also High Brush. Just before getting on one of the climbs I noticed a NEST of RATTLESNAKES. I would strongly suggest using severe caution if visiting this area and be careful of what you step on while bushwhacking your own way to the start of the climbs.

Comments: Great climb!, One of the best in Eldo!!! I read these comments before doing this climb, I wish I hadn't. The Run out at the top.... what?
This route has tons of gear, is well protected, and the "super slab" should never put you in the hospital with any level of injuries. As 0f 5/21/07 there is a great deal of fixed stoppers to protect all the "super slab" crux moves. Do not believe the hype, get on this route, enjoy it, and write about how well protected it is. Falling 30 feet? who was your... more >>

Comments: Rather then going Left into the dihedral that Tigger and Tagger share you go straight up the slab directly above the ledge at the top of the first pitch of Tagger then connects to the right side of the second pitch roof of Tagger.
