Location: UT : Moab Area : Fisher Towers : Kingfisher : Colorado Northeast Ridge (5.8 C2)
By: Ryan Hughes When: Oct 29, 2004 | view comment >> | Comments: I didn't notice too much new stuff. I followed most of the fixed gear pitches, so I didn't examine the bolts that closely, but nothing really "shiny".
AC, (I forgot your name), good to hear you made it up on Sunday. Hope to see you 'round the fishers again.

By: Ryan Hughes When: Oct 11, 2004 | view comment >> | Comments: This route is totally awesome. We climbed it on Saturday and had a killer day. A couple of tips on our experience:
The route starts on a bolt ladder on the east face. We hiked up through the saddle through a nasty slippery slope. Don't do that.
If I were to do the route again I'd take:double set of camalots .5-3.5 with an extra #1no nuts, no hexes, no hooks, 4 rivet hangers, a few tie-offs, set of tricams .5-3,set of aliens,set of TCU's
We brought a double set of nuts and didn't p... more >>

Location: CO : Boulder : Flatirons : North : Second Flatiron : The Gutter (V?)
By: Ryan Hughes When: Jan 28, 2003 | view comment >> | Comments: I've gotta say this is probably the coolest traverse in Boulder. Technically, it isn't too tough. There are two sections where the moves are difficult to find, but I think the rating is probably around V6-V7. No one move is tougher than V3, but its very long and pumpy. The best thing to do is just to go find it and have fun.

Location: CO : Boulder : Flatirons : South : The Maiden : North Face (5.6 R)
By: Ryan Hughes When: Feb 11, 2002 | view comment >> | Comments: The first two pitches leading to the crow's nest feel like you're leading backwards. The next pitch has a (I felt) stiff 5.6 overhanging crux before the tree. If you've got a #4 Camalot, it works great here. We stopped short on the 4th pitch (before the second 5.4? crux with a fixed pin) and left the 5th pitch to run to the top. Took us 3hrs from start to summit. Don't climb this in the wind or you'll hate life on the final pitches and rappel. It's pretty exposed, weird, and balancy ... more >>

The weather was great before the last pitch yesterday on the North Ridge. It got very windy and made the rappeller feel as if being dropped from a helicopter. It was hard to hit the crow's nest and even harder to pull the ropes.
We couldn't pull them and had to rap from the summit to the bottom and get the ropes this morning when the wind died down.
