Location: CO : Caņon City : Shelf Road : Sand Gulch : Free Form Wall : Barney (5.9)
By: SurlyClimber When: Mar 27, 2006 | view comment >> | Comments: While this route is described as a "bolted crack climb", it is not in reality a crack climb. The thing is climbed on jugs and pockets with nary a jam. Several bolts with homemade hangers need to be replaced, and the anchor bolts are little eyebolts that also need to be replaced.

Location: CO : Golden : North Table Mountain/Golden... : Overhang Area : In Between the Lines (5.9-)

Pulling the overhang at the start of this one can feel insecure unless you find the nice bomber hold inside the crack on the right. Alternatively, jam in the crack.

By: SurlyClimber When: Mar 6, 2006 | view comment >> | Comments: Pitch 1 goes at harder than a Clear Creek 10a, at least compared to other climbs of that grade in the Canyon (e.g. Ace in the Hole, Jellicle Cats, MacCavity). I would say the pitch 1 crux is getting to the anchors. To make the anchors you have to traverse left from a good stance across a face with little in the way of hands or feet. The section between the first and second bolt at the start of the pitch is balancy, but at least there are holds, particlarly if you stay left of the bol... more >>
