Comments: Fixed. I think there was some import bugs for this route from long ago.

Comments: There is no easy fix for this one. I've deleted the V5 rating. Please stick with 5.x ratings for this route.

Comments: Ditto on the Rolofson guide. It was a nice addition the outdated Rossiter guide, but possibly the worst set of guidebooks ever - no index, routes listed out of order, and pages fell out before you could leave the store.
The new one is from Boulder local Bob D'Antonio, who put up an awful lot of the routes in the book.

Location: CO : Boulder : Boulder Canyon : The Bowling Alley : Lower Right Side : Curb Service (5.10a)

Comments: I can't see how the move off the ground, straight up past the bolt, is less than 10d, and I would have guessed 11a if I hadn't read about it beforehand. No way it's 9 - no matter what you do at the top of the route.

Location: CO : Boulder : Boulder Canyon : The Bihedral Area : The Lower Tier : Hound's Tooth (5.10b)

Comments: This is easily the best of the three routes conjoined at the bottom here. Good crux above the second bolt, nice lieback to the small overhanging move. Do this and skip the ones to the left and right.

Location: CO : Boulder : Boulder Canyon : Boulder Slips : Party Time! (5.9)
By: Nick Wilder When: May 6, 2007 | view comment >> |
Comments: Really just one 5.9 move - from the last bolt your move from the easy wide crack to the face, which is a bit delicate. A single 5.8 move at the top wide crack (just below the anchor) is also interesting (blue #3 Camalot - don't bother with the #4). Otherwise easy and unremarkable climbing.

Location: CO : Boulder : Boulder Canyon : Boulder Slips : Minutia (5.8)
By: Nick Wilder When: May 6, 2007 | view comment >> |
Comments: Awesome climbing that would be solid 4 stars if it was longer and didn't have the chossy start to get to the crack. The loose rock others mentioned is either gone or trivial to avoid. Easy pro and really fun moves the whole way up.

Location: CO : Boulder : Boulder Canyon : The Bihedral Area : The Bihedral (Upper Tier) : Puff Daddy (5.10a)
By: Nick Wilder When: Apr 26, 2007 | view comment >> |
Comments: Nice addition to the area. 5.8 climbing from the start until the last 20 feet, when it steepens and the holds get much smaller. Lichen is mostly removed where you don't want it. The upper section very well protected, the lower section is bordering on excessive.

Comments: Good moves with some nice variation. Well bolted, don't bother bringing gear.

Comments: More details from the Denver Post:
Todd Skinner, an internationally renowned rock climber who ranked among the world's best during the 1990s, died Oct. 23 after falling 500 feet as he and his partner rappelled down from their first attempt at a new route on Leaning Tower in Yosemite National Park, Calif. He was 48.
Skinner, with partner Paul Piana, secured his place in the annals of elite American climbers with the 1988 first free-climbing ascent of the Salathe Wall on El Capitan in Yosemite.

Comments: Easy West Descent - 60M rope only
From the very top, easily walk down the ramp 20 feet to the north, then scramble (4th class) west back into the chimney and cross over to some stout bolts on the west side of the chimney. One bolt is just visible from the summit. The bolts face north and have a chain but no rings. We slung the rope through the quicklinks.
Rap 15 feet to a ledge, and continue 80 feet more to a large boulder with another rap station hidden underneath. Use knots - you'... more >>

Location: CA : Joshua Tree National Park : Geology Tour Road : Virgin Islands Area : Star Wars Rock : Thumbs Down Left (5.9)
By: Nick Wilder When: Nov 13, 2005 | view comment >> |
Comments: The first 30 feet consist of a grunty chimney/offwidth. Possible to get a #4 Camalot about halfway up, but not much else. The top half is a short but decent hand crack in a corner so tight its a bit awkward, taking as many #1 and #2 Camalots as you want. Not a destination...
