Comments: So when did "PG, R, X" ratings get attached to boulder problems?

Comments: Looking for any info on the couloir that goes up to the gash on the "gash ridge" route. Just wondering if it's too loose to climb, angle of ice if any or anything of that nature. Any info would be great, looking to go climb it in late Aug. early Sept. thanks Rik

Comments: "The Zipper" After you have done the first pitch, don't forget about the next 2 pitches going to the top of Tweedle Dum Spire. They're harder than the first pitch .11b & .9. From the belay look up you'll see the line of pins going up. If you go straight up its A2 for the first 30ft. then .11b, or you can climb up and a tad to the R. and then traverse back to the left after roughly 30ft. Then on to the summit of the spire.

Comments: Ryan, if the climb your talking is roughly 75ft to the right of Footloose and goes over a small roof, that's about a .9. It's been there a long time and I haven't climbed it in a long time, but if my memory serves me it's right around that grade. No idea on the name though.

Comments: The start is definitely for the bold. If you do the direct start, don't bother with trying to place any gear, you'll just burn your energy for the real fun. I have managed to get in a piece for the mind only, not for the body, now I just climb it. If you don't lead .10+ comfortably don't even try this one.

Comments: I read through the posts and noticed that a some of you are talking about rules and regs. How he was breaking the law and shouldn't have been up there, being more than 10ft. It's funny to me though that most of the climbers at the Gods break this rule all the time and give no regards to it. For instance, if you want to climb "place in the sun" you need to go up Tourist Gully. How many of us rope up to get to the start of the climb? Zero. After doing "footloose and fancy free", do we rappel down ... more >>
