Comments: Felt harder than Elf Jism Dihedral, which probably suited my style better. Great climb. Probably wouldn't have felt harder if I had it wired.

Comments: Fun lead. Does get sketchy halfway up. Not too hard of climbing, but the placements are dubious at best. I had a #2 C3, a little bitty stopper, and a 0.1 Camalot within 3 feet of each other and was pretty sure it was all junk. I did have a decent, medium-size stopper slightly below where it gets real thin, but it was making drum noises as I dragged it along the crack looking for a constriction... BUT, the feet are good, if you are comfortable with the grade, I would get something good ... more >>

Comments: I'm sure Iraq is the last place he wants to return to, but I would hesitate to label him as a deserter, and I think considering the circumstances, it would be disrespectful to assume as much. I am against the war, I do support the troops (including my younger brother who has served two intense tours in Iraq and recently returned to Colorado for a short while), but let's just try and not go around throwing totally unsubstantiated comments out there. Not saying you couldn't be right, perhaps we ... more >>

Comments: Freaking hard and awesome. Wish I could 'run laps' on it. As immaculate as a dark water streak on Castlerock conglomerate can get. The 'Realization' of Castlewood. Hehe.

Comments: Didn't even use a single cam, plenty of opportunities to get your feet set, easy to place pro. Very enjoyable, tall for the Wood, go climb it.

Comments: Every one do your part. Even a copy-and-pasted argument can have a great effect when it numbers in the thousands. Many of us (including myself) have never climbed at these areas, but the decisions made set precedents and ultimately shape future policy in areas more near and dear to our hearts.

Comments: Wow, didn't read the previous posts. Learned from a Tahoe friend the other day that Doug had died. Never had a chance to meet him, but the magnitude of his ability and nerve has always struck a cord with me. Almost impossible to believe that one of the, if not the best big-mountain-skiers in the world perished in 'his' environment. His contribution to the sport will never be taken for granted. All my love to his family, I'm sure his spirit will live on forever in the mountains, as well as i... more >>

Comments: It certainly is enticing to have the prospect of grabbing an f.a. in your head, and I also agree with drunkenmaster, it is always good to know the history (even "current events") of a climbing area you frequent before claiming your ascent. I have been holding my tongue for 3 years now (even though I know of only one other person to send it) after a possible f.a. up in Tahoe because I have credible information that a few of the stone-masters from Yosemite may have dabbled in that area many years... more >>

Comments: Went here early January, some nifty problems on holds that require, um, discretion? The words 'adventure bouldering' came to mind. All in all though, really cool looking group of rocks. One problem that sticks in my mind started on really bad low holds to a good little ledge then continued up through some neat moves out the roof and up and over (it was located on the backside as I approached from the E?). Did some other fun problems. Where's the bovine area?

Comments: Nothing is off-route outside huh...Don't tell that to Horsetooth Reservoir or England or anywhere else climbing is to be had 'outside' with limited resources. Besides, if you think it's on, and don't care about climbing it using the intended holds, use it, it's not our job to judge another person's climbng experience. Everything may be usable, but certainly, not everything is 'on'. Maybe it is ridiculous to say 'hey, that foot is off', but sometimes using and not using a hold makes a a climb ... more >>
