Location: UT : Moab Area : Indian Creek : Blue Gramma Cliff : Unnamed 9+ (5.9+)
By: Sorden When: Sep 2, 2008 | view comment >> | Comments: I'm guessing it probably wasn't the first ascensionist who took the liberty of naming this route " Mexican Unicorn." If we're going to start naming all the best "unnamed" or "no name" routes in the Creek, then I hereby declare the 5.10 "No-Name Crack" on Supercrack Buttress will forever hence be known as "Hand-Job Love Fest." Mike Sanders came up with this very clever and appropriate name for the previously unnamed classic years ago, but we didn't have the courage to be so presumptuous or arro... more >>

Location: CO : Estes Park Valley : Lumpy Ridge : Left Book : Manifest Destiny (5.7)
By: Sorden When: Jul 3, 2008 | view comment >> | Comments: With more than 15ft of runout on the face above the P2 roof I would have to give this route a "serious" or "R" rating. True, it's easy enough (5.6ish) but, this section is devoid of pro. Therefore, despite the grade, I wouldn't recommend it for the novice leaders. You can also bail way left (about 30ft) and finish via the last two RF dihedrals on "Cottontail," which is the best part of that climb and definitely fun 5.6. One last warning: The top boulder on the first belay ledge should not be... more >>

Location: CO : State Park Entrance Fees In...
By: Sorden When: Jul 11, 2007 | view comment >> | Comments: ATS, Bob, All,
Did I complain at all about the peace and tranquility on 7/4/07? Did I say we should keep all non-climbers out of Eldo? No, I was commenting only on the parking situation and the associated pollution from simply an economic point of view, because that's what this forum is about. And to insinuate that I'm prejudiced against non-climbers is pure hyperbole and pretty arrogant on your part, ATS. Don't twist my words because you were offended by my ranger remark. Neither of you ... more >>

Location: CO : State Park Entrance Fees In...
By: Sorden When: Jul 9, 2007 | view comment >> | Comments: Isn't anyone happy that new annual park pass will be valid a year from the date of purchase rather than the calendar year? I always buy my pass in January because I climb in Eldo (almost) twelve months a year, but it always annoyed me that if you purchased your pass in say June, you'd only get a half a year's use out of it.
I don't want to ruin this for all (so only tell your friends,) but if you get together with a friend and purchase a second household pass at the same time and split the c... more >>

Location: CO : South Platte : Devil's Head
By: Sorden When: Jul 31, 2006 | view comment >> | Comments: Hey you forgot to mention how hot it was there yesterday! (Other than the swarms of flys and ants). What a cool place! I'd like to know what the locals know; but in the future I will avoid Devil's Head during hotter months. Dirty quality rock, bolted cracks, obscure trails, no water; I loved it! I'll be back in Autumn.
