Comments: Seriously! I did solar slab a few years ago and rapped that gully on the left (waterfall) and it was pretty shitty. The top was all snow covered so it made it hard to find the correct descent.

Comments: Guide book is way off on this one (bloom 1st edition) it calls for one #4. To properly protect you would need a 4, 5, and 6 or you risk a fall onto a ledge 60ish feet up. Would have been better with the proper gear.

Comments: Not sure how or why this would be rated "R". The top is #2 camalots, not #3's. 70m rope worked fine for us.

Comments: Great climb. I didn't feel the opening moves were any harder than 5.9. Maybe harder for shorter people, I'm 6'1

Comments: Did this Saturday. A ton of variations exist. Ended up following the wide crack up the 2nd tower and dropping down the backside. Traversed left up the ramp and back to the east side. Plenty of ice right now in the dihedral, so we ended up climbing the face to the left. I didn't feel anything on the route was 5.6 except for maybe the very first pitch we did (we traversed as far left on the ramp to start as we could without ropes).
Descent - we wanted to rap the Cables Route, but there was a grou... more >>

Comments: Felt harder than 11a/b to me. Crimps down low were super tiny, and I could barely get half a finger pad on.

Comments: Great climb! Had it all to ourselves this morning. For anyone interested, there's a fixed, offset stopper on pitch 2, and a fixed C4 #3 right at the crux. I fiddled with it for a while on lead, but it's in there pretty good. There's also an older style #5 at the start of the 4th right after the pin that looks like it's been there a while.
We did the climb in 3 pitches, linking 2/3, 4/5. The crux right before the ledge on pitch 3 had some angry bees that wouldn't leave a couple impo... more >>

Comments: Did this today and it felt awfully hard. Harder than the 10a's I've done at Eldo. Also, why is that bolt even there? If you're going to add a bolt, might as well do it where it would help and not cause a big pendulum. Just my $0.02. I also felt the gear wasn't very obvious, small, and fairly run-out. Not for the new 5.9 leader.

Comments: Lead it today and took a good 20'er from the top of the hand crack. Got it clean 2nd try. This was my 2nd 10a in Eldo. Felt really good and protection was excellent. Nothing bigger than a #2 C4 needed.

Comments: Felt way harder than the first pitch of Pooh Corner. Leader only used 2 #2s also and had gear placements every body length.

Comments: Thought this was harder than Edwards, weird. Did it as a warm up and had no idea what it was. Figured it was easy 5.8. Good hands the whole way, but a lot steeper than Edwards.

Comments: Climbed it yesterday as my first climb at Vedauwoo. Nothing felt harder than 5.6. Did as one pitch with a 70m rope and about 30' of rope left. A 60m would probably make it. Didn't use anything bigger than a #2 either.

Comments: 1 move wonder. 11-/10+ I/m 6'1", it's not a bad reach, it's just committing. The jug is huge.

Comments: Couldn't get more than one move past the first bolt. Very stiff for 11c like my book calls it!
