Comments: Interesting bolt placement, thought provoking fall potentials, discontinuous climbing, and questionable rock in a few places....

Comments: Awesome route with hand and finger jams, lie backs, face climbing, and traversing. Watch out for loose rock in left crack near top!

Comments: On the 2nd pitch, we found that 2 BD #3s (beginning), 1 BD #4 (middle), 2 BD #5s (end), and a sling for chockstone in chimney sewed this one up pretty tight. Variety of fun moves, great rock, great pro, great climb.

Comments: A red Wild Country (#5) and a BD #4 worked well on the second pitch.

Comments: I found a handful of nuts and tri-cams worked best on the flaring portion of this crack on runout between 2nd and 3rd bolts.

Comments: I feel like 10b is accurate, if not generous. Regardless, it's a fun route and well worth doing!

Comments: I usually wear baggy clothes so when I go through this low part of the traverse I can just lay down on the rock that's right under me and no one can tell. It's a pretty sweet no hands rest.

Comments: I thought this problem was sandbagged at V3 when I first tried it (I couldn't even get on it), but after working the moves and getting some finger strength/balance, it definitely compares to other V3s at Rotary. It's all in the feet.

Comments: Hands down the best V3 at Rotary. If you like this one, go check out the Scoop. I'd take it one step further and say the current condition of the landing doesn't even warrant a PG-13. It's a clean fall onto a gardened, although slightly slanted, landing. Don't be intimidated by this rating, go check it out!

Location: CO : Fort Collins : Horsetooth Reservoir : Rotary Park : Central Ridgeline, includin... : Ship's Prow Right (V1)
By: Paul Carlson When: Mar 14, 2008 | view comment >> |
Comments: The order from left to right is: Ship's Prow Arete, Ship's Prow Right (use crimpers and large side pull a few feet from arete, arete off), finger ripper (to the right of Ship's Prow Right, climb thin face, use two opposing sidepulls to get to ledge, crack off), then curving crack. there are a multitude of variants that can be found on the prow, but these are the basic 4. It's a good face to make up variations using the variety of holds and topouts.

Comments: It's the variant of Beached Whale. The start is the same, but instead of throwing up to the dish for Whale, throw around the arete to the right for a nice hold. Then used the holds on the arete to topout.
