Location: CO : Golden : North Table Mountain/Golden... : Brown Cloud Rocks : Big Dihedral (5.8) By: Paul Sampson When: Aug 3, 2004 | view comment >> |
Comments: I wish there were a lot more routes like this one at Table. It's a fun little crack climb with some pretty good stemming rests / gear stances if you look for them.

Location: CO : Golden : North Table Mountain/Golden... : Brown Cloud Rocks : Deck Chairs on the Titanic (5.9+) By: Paul Sampson When: Aug 3, 2004 | view comment >> |
Comments: I've climbed Deck Chairs a number of times, and it's clearly one of the best of its grade at this crag. It's fairly sustained and a little bit pumpy by Table standards, but it's certainly worth doing. I put the direct start at 9+ for tall people and 10a for people who have to dyno.

Comments: This is a fun route and isn't a bad option when the crags are crowded since you can climb parts of this route many ways. You can do a direct start, left start, body chimney start, etc. I think I climbed it four different times and ways before moving on to the climb next to it.

Location: CO : Golden : North Table Mountain/Golden... : Brown Cloud Rocks : Brown Cloud Arête (5.10b) By: Paul Sampson When: Aug 3, 2004 | view comment >> |
Comments: This route is worth doing if you're in the area. The moves won't blow you away, but they're not bad either. I also agree with Tony that the rating is pretty soft.

Comments: Where is the fake hold? I climbed the route last week (after last climbing it five to seven years ago) and didn't notice anything like that. The route certainly doesn't need it. The moves are moderate and fun.

Location: CO : Golden : North Table Mountain/Golden... : MBA Buttress : Feeding Frenzy (5.11d) By: Paul Sampson When: Aug 3, 2004 | view comment >> |
Comments: This is a really great route. Although the first bolt is pretty far off the ground for a place like Table, the moves to it seemed about 5.9 at the hardest. (I don't rate climbs very well, but that's how I remember it a week later). The crux, which is several bolts up, is very well protected. Enjoy!

Location: CO : South Platte : Turkey Rocks : Turkey Perch : Gobble Up (5.8) By: Paul Sampson When: Jul 28, 2004 | view comment >> |
Comments: An outstanding climb, but watch your rope. I saw parts of three ropes that were stuck in the crack. Think twice before top roping this one, and if you toss a rope from this line, throw it as far away from the crack as you can.

Location: WY : Vedauwoo : Coke Bottle : TM Chimney (5.7+) By: Paul Sampson When: Jul 23, 2004 | view comment >> |
Comments: This is an outstanding route with interesting and fun climbing the entire way! I highly recomend knee pads to avoid bruised knees and a 60 meter rope if you plan to rap from the bolts just to the right of the route. Even with a 60 meter rope, be very careful when rappeling from the lower bolts to the ground. You should just barely make it, but if the end of your rope has been cut, you might not. Just be aware of this and have a blast!

Location: WY : Vedauwoo : Nautilus : Right Parallel Space (5.5) By: Paul Sampson When: Jul 21, 2004 | view comment >> |
Comments: A great climb. However, the runout from the bolt (which is really an old pin) to the anchors was about 30 feet from what I could tell. That section also traversed enough that my second got pretty wigged out. Not a good first chimney for anyone to climb, but if you've been in a few, this one is super! The moves are fun and not very hard.
