Location: CO : Colorado Springs : Garden of the Gods : Garden of the Gods Boulderi... : Photo
By: Patrick J When: Sep 8, 2009 | view comment >> | Comments: You might be thinking of the Wall of Winter Warmth, or something like that. It's a steep, thin slab that gets bouldered a fair amount. From the closed area, head 200 feet west, or 100 feet west from the Cowboy Boot Crack area. The traverse is supposed to go at 5.9, but I'd say it's harder with hold breakage. Fun area.

By: Patrick J When: Jul 9, 2009 | view comment >> | Comments: Angle Tangle is an old A2 aid route on the east face of North Gateway, so yeah, the sign seems misplaced. Not sure where the falcon closings are, I'm sure someone else on here knows more specifically.

Location: CO : Colorado Springs : Garden of the Gods : Garden of the Gods Boulderi... : Roadside Attraction (V-easy X)
By: Patrick J When: Jun 5, 2009 | view comment >> | Comments: Is this roughly due west of Montezuma's, but across the road and down a hill? Is the dihedral left-facing? I think I've seen this line, just curious where exactly it is.

Location: CO : Colorado Springs : Garden of the Gods : The Snake Pit Area : Unknown V7 aka Slapper (V7-8)
By: Patrick J When: Feb 5, 2009 | view comment >> | Comments: This is the line that moves out the obvious set of slopers on the steepest part of the block. Super fun moves, always give myself blood blisters from slapping at the slick holds as hard as I can. There's a vid of a guy sending this somewhere on youtube....
Also, I think the problem on the east face of this block might be harder, I know it is for me.

Location: CO : Colorado Springs : Garden of the Gods : The Snake Pit Area : Unknown V4 (V4)
By: Patrick J When: Feb 5, 2009 | view comment >> | Comments: Is this the same problem that's also posted as "Mongoose Block West Overhang"? Check out the description I posted over on that problem. They start in the same place for sure. I've never been sure about the grade on that one, I put it up here as a V2, but it could be harder. I only chose V2, because that's what I remember from when I first started climbing at the pit more than a decade ago... my memory sucks though, and part of the problem is that I can't figure out how to rate the... more >>

Location: CO : Colorado Springs : Garden of the Gods : The Snake Pit Area : Nose Lunge (V4)
By: Patrick J When: Jan 9, 2009 | view comment >> | Comments: That location sounds right. The starting hold and the finishing hold are both actually on the arete in between those two areas. It may not be dynamic, but it looks like it, and that's how I've heard it described.
Looking forward to the photos, I've been thinking about doing the same thing.

Location: CO : Colorado Springs : Garden of the Gods : The Snake Pit Area : Nose Lunge (V4)
By: Patrick J When: Jan 5, 2009 | view comment >> | Comments: I made a typo in the description- this is on the southeast corner, not the southwest as I had originally said. Right on the arete at maybe 7' is a blocky, chalked hold. Match on this, get your feet up, and throw for the lip. I've realized now that it helps to be short, it's just too hard to get your feet high enough otherwise. At least that's my excuse.

Location: AZ : Sedona : Anvil Rock
By: Patrick J When: Jan 3, 2009 | view comment >> | Comments: There's a PDF guide to this area floating around the net that recommends parking on schnebly hill rd and hiking 25 minutes to the anvil boulders. Not the best way, I'd say. Got lost a few times, did a ton a bushwhacking- and now I know better. Otherwise, I like this area. Too bad it's not a little more pristine, considering all the wilderness in the area.

Location: CO : Colorado Springs : Garden of the Gods : North Gateway Rock
By: Patrick J When: Dec 22, 2008 | view comment >> | Comments: Anybody know the route that starts about twenty feet to the left of Amazing Grace? It starts in a cave-thing and then traverses left for quite a while. It's got old-ish looking drilled pins, and is well-protected except the first pin is a good twenty feet off the deck. I've got four different guides and it's not in any of them. Seems pretty cool, and I'd never noticed it before, so maybe it's new?

Location: CO : Colorado Springs : North Cheyenne Canyon : Eagle Perch : Vitamin G (5.13a)
By: Patrick J When: Dec 17, 2008 | view comment >> | Comments: I hiked up there today, so here's my input. The hike isn't that bad, I went about ten yards past the gate and went straight up the hill, couldn't have missed the cliff. I could even see it at a few points just after leaving the road. There's no snow on the ground, even though the rest of the canyon has six inches, so that's cool. The cliff was nice and warm too, even though the temps were only about 40.
As for the route, it doesn't look all that hard, but I'm sure it is. I want to get up t... more >>
