Location: CO : Grand Junction : Colorado National Monument : Monument Canyon : Wide Load aka Route 3 (5.9) By: Paul S When: Nov 3, 2009 | view comment >> |
Comments: The anchor has been replaced. If I remember right, there are 2 pins and a good bolt with chains up there now. Thanks to whoever replaced it!

Comments: Thanks Sirius, There might of been some friable flakes at one time on the arete, but it has cleaned up pretty well. From what I remember when I did it (Jan 09) the quality of the rock was pretty good, but there are some sections were it was a bit runout.

Location: International : Argentina : San Carlos de Bariloche : Frey : Campanile Esloveno : Imagínate (5.10) By: Paul S When: May 15, 2009 | view comment >> |
Comments: I'd agree that this is one of the best at Frey. Every pitch was sssooo much fun. If you only have a short amount of time I'd recommend getting on this over Torre Principal. The hike is also not as bad as it looks and it is really beautiful up there.

Location: UT : Moab Area : Lost World Butte Area : Cenotaph Spire : Cenotaph Spire (5.8 C1 R) By: Paul S When: May 12, 2008 | view comment >> |
Comments: the section with the missing bolt on the top of the last pitch can be passed with a 5.10ish move, you just have to top step and reach really high to the second ledge, then feel around for a good crimp in all the crumbly rock and sand, its exciting, but doable!

Location: CO : Boulder : Eldorado Canyon SP : Redgarden Wall : Redgarden - Below Lower Ram... : Vertical Smile (5.7) By: Paul S When: Dec 8, 2006 | view comment >> |
Comments: A few months ago a friend and I did what we thought was Quo Vadis. To get to it, we went to the top of the ramp, and there's a dihedral of bad rock. We went up this, and it quickly gets better, and had some fun stemming moves on it and felt 5.8ish to me, so maybe that was it?? but it may of been the second pitch of Slimy Spoon also...

Location: CO : Boulder : Eldorado Canyon SP : Redgarden Wall : Redgarden - S Buttress : East Overhang (5.10d R) By: Paul S When: Oct 20, 2006 | view comment >> |
Comments: There's actually a few spots you can get pretty good gear in. A #1 BD cam fits perfectly halfway up, then a few feet above that, you can get a #2 that protects the moves over the lip. It's just a little sketchy until you get that 1st piece in. It's a pretty fun, although really short, route.

Location: CO : Boulder : Eldorado Canyon SP : Sobo : Dreams Of Darkness (5.9 PG13) By: Paul S When: Sep 23, 2006 | view comment >> |
Comments: I thought this route was pretty unique and fun. A #5 Camalot just barely fits at the crux, but it's pretty tipped out, so it's not too inspiring! Also, I had a fairly large block rip out on the rough, so be careful of loose rock!

Comments: Do yourself a favor and rappel off of these anchors, a 60 m rope will work

Location: UT : Wasatch Range : Ferguson Canyon : The Cathedral : Nuptial Vow (5.8) By: Paul S When: Feb 3, 2005 | view comment >> |
Comments: Nice beginner sport lines, be careful on the first mantle which is the crux of this 5.7.
