Location: UT : House Range : Notch Peak : Western Hardman (5.11)
By: stevecurtis When: 1 day ago | view comment >> | Comments: We did this thing mid may. Conditions couldn't have been better, but the weather deteriorated on our hike to the fin.
The route is great, low commitment, well protected above 5.8. I did a really dumb man variation on the second to the last pitch. Into a very loose corner and face far left. The pitch above the last rap looks good too.
It is possible to do a tyrolean type rap for the second from the top. Speeds matters.
10C is probably a better grade

By: stevecurtis When: 1 day ago | view comment >> | Comments: A fun route with a thin crux. I thought the grade was closer to 11a.

Location: CA : Sierra Foothills North : Auburn Cliffs : Twin Towers : Chariots on Fire (5.11b/c)
By: stevecurtis When: Apr 21, 2013 | view comment >> | Comments: Another great route, but at the end of the day, I was wasted for the second pitch. It did feel a bit harder than the 12A out front. This one is still dirty too. Should clean up well with some traffic.

Location: CA : Sierra Foothills North : Auburn Cliffs : Twin Towers : Release the Lions (5.11c)
By: stevecurtis When: Apr 21, 2013 | view comment >> | Comments: Did this one 20 April. A really good sustained climb. For reference, I found it about as hard as the good 12 A in the first alcove.

By: stevecurtis When: Feb 1, 2013 | view comment >> | Comments: I agree with the 11B rating. Anyway, a fun route. Do it in two pitches, rappel in three.

Location: CA : SF Bay Area : Mount St. Helena : Table Rock
By: stevecurtis When: Dec 29, 2012 | view comment >> | Comments: Aaron: thanks for posting the information. The routes are fun, and a unique experience. All the bolts I've used have been solid. Any glue ins?
The hand holds are generally solid, foot nubbins are generally crumbly. It is uncertain if the routes will sustain a prolonged assault by bay area climbers. During your first day or two climbing table, you might find the grades about appropriate. For me, once I got accustomed to the tuft, I found the grades a bit soft. I took some falls on one of ... more >>

Location: CA : SF Bay Area : Mount St. Helena : The Bear : Old And In The Way (5.11b)
By: stevecurtis When: Dec 28, 2012 | view comment >> | Comments: I finally did this with Jerry's beta from Jonathan. I suppose this might feel like a soft 11 to someone accustomed to 10 ft routes on the damp side of a boulder. For me, the first bit is harder than anything on stone free or the other 12As on the cliff. But I'm an endurance climber.

Location: CA : SF Bay Area : Mount St. Helena : The Bubble : Catchy (5.11c)
By: stevecurtis When: Dec 28, 2012 | view comment >> | Comments: I finally did this route. The lower crux is thuggish-one can fall on his belayer if he misses the left holds. The crux bulge for me was underclinging, to a few bear hug moves, to a good slot without feet. The top is too easy to worry about.

By: stevecurtis When: Dec 21, 2012 | view comment >> | Comments: 10D? Hummm. Yeh, I guess I've found 10Ds at laurel knob like this one.
I agree, best route at the cliff.

Location: AZ : Southern Arizona : Cochise Stronghold : West Stronghold : Sweet Rock : Lemonhead (5.11b)
By: stevecurtis When: Dec 21, 2012 | view comment >> | Comments: 11 B is probably a good grade if you do the left finish. The right finish is significantly harder than the first crux, and significantly harder than Zagnut. I've climbed more than a few routes in Cochise. Welcome to the sandbag.
