Location: CA : Tahoe Vicinity : Eagle Creek Canyon : Eagle Lake Buttress : Eagle Route (5.5)
By: philfell When: Aug 3, 2009 | view comment >> | Comments: Great climb. Very little loose rock compared to other easy rated alpine climbs I've done. Lots of cobwebs when we climbed it so I don't think this gets climbed too often, although we did clip a fixed nut and cam that didn't seem to be there for too long.
Takes great pro the whole way. We did this in three pitches. First pitch, almost a full 60 meters, ground up through the "V" section belay where the angle eases below a few bushes. Second pitch, again almost a full 60 meters, up past the couple... more >>

Location: CA : Tahoe Vicinity : Donner Pass : Green Phantom Rock : Phantom Staircase Middle (5.9)
By: philfell When: Jul 13, 2009 | view comment >> | Comments: This climb pretty much goes up the middle of the slab, fall line below the TR anchors.
There are 3 or 4 old holes where bolts used to be. If you are passing these, then you are on this route. If you pass an old 1/4" rusty stud sticking out of the wall you are on the 5.8 route to the left.

By: philfell When: Oct 11, 2005 | view comment >> | Comments: Bring many draws or skip bolts on the easy sections. I think there are 15 or more bolts. Bring two ropes to get back to the ground.
Sweet climb that looks way harder than it is.

Location: UT : Wasatch Range : Little Cottonwood Canyon : CoalPit Buttress : Coalpit Connection (5.10b)
By: philfell When: Sep 7, 2005 | view comment >> | Comments: When James and I did this climb we are sure the upper pitches have been climbed before, but the finger/hand crack leading to them seemed to have seen no previous action. The crack was packed full of dirt and mud. James had to take out his nut tool and scrape out dirt for each jam and gear placement. Maybe it was climbed before, it sure didn't appear so.

By: philfell When: Aug 16, 2005 | view comment >> | Comments: Ken what if a teenage kid decides to climb this and falls before they get good gear in and dies. In the name of saftey for the kids of Salt Lake add the bolt.
On a different note I heard Drew was talking about maybe adding a bolt here and there to some of his older/bolder routes. I think this is one of his routes. If some bolts start appearing on his routes they might be placed by him. Although I think he may have decided not to do this.

Location: UT : Wasatch Range : Little Cottonwood Canyon : Crescent Crack Buttress : Crescent Crack (5.7)
By: philfell When: Aug 2, 2005 | view comment >> | Comments: The second pitch, if done right is 5.7. This was one of my first gear leads, it took me a while to figure out but when I did it wasn't that hard and was actuall really fun. Carl get back up there and think outside the box.

By: philfell When: Jul 13, 2005 | view comment >> | Comments: Climbed this today, there was a lot of loose holds on it. The freeze/thaw cycle wasn't too kind to it. I've climbed this in years past and enjoyed it, but I wouldn't recommend it anymore. There is on block below the second bolt that seemed like it could go at any moment.
If you are planning on getting on this, please test your holds and climb carefully. You might want to have your belayer stand on the next ledge downstream so they would be out of rockfall zone.

Location: UT : Wasatch Range : Little Cottonwood Canyon : Hellgate Cliffs : Tower 1 : Little Hellion (5.9)
By: philfell When: Jun 26, 2005 | view comment >> | Comments: This climb is great!!!! It is possible to get off this route with one 60m rope. From the anchors on Little Hellion rappell to the anchors on Medussa, from there a 60m rope will get you down. Make sure you find the center of your rope because a 60m barly makes it.

Location: UT : Wasatch Range : Little Cottonwood Canyon : Gate Buttress : Schoolroom Area : Schoolroom West (5.7)
By: philfell When: May 29, 2005 | view comment >> | Comments: I just climbed this today. We broke it into three pitches and it worked great, although communication was tough in spots. The first part of the second pitch seemed tough for 5.7. It took me a little bit to get a plan of attack for it. I wasn't sure if I should try to lay-back, off-width, slap climb it and ignore the crack, or go on the face to the left with the few chicken heads. Overall the route is really fun with good gear whenever you need it. The final pitch is really fun.

Location: UT : Uinta Mountains : Ruth Lake : Good Medicine Area : Sacred Hoop (5.10a)
By: philfell When: May 25, 2005 | view comment >> | Comments: It's a shame this route was bolted, there are so many great gear placements on the entire route. To me the line is so obvious it's hard to beleve someone didn't lead it on gear before someone came along and bolted it. On a different note it provides a good crack to climb up to for the sport people who don't normally get to climb stuff like that.

Location: UT : Wasatch Range : Bell's Canyon : Middle Bell Tower : Ellsworth-McQuarrie Route (5.7)
By: philfell When: May 25, 2005 | view comment >> | Comments: I climbed this to Arm and Hammer last fall. You really should combine pitch one and two together (need a 60 meter rope). Also someone replaced on of the junk bolts in the squeeze chimney, if I remember right there is a new on where the old stud with a wingnut used to be, then you can clip the old rusted 1/4er just above. The replacement of the bolt makes you feel much better going into the layback section.
