Location: WY : Vedauwoo : Nautilus : Cornelius (5.5)
By: SW Marlatt When: Jun 15, 2009 | view comment >> | Comments: I completely agree about the attitude adjustment, and hope that someone will cleanly remove the bolts in the near future. As you say, it is ridiculously easy to build an anchor on top - with almost whatever rack you happen to be carrying (I think I used a couple stoppers and a mid-sized hex, but there are many, many, many choices.)
To whatever kind soul removes the bolts: please pull, rather than chop! That will keep the slap looking nice, and avoids leaving sharp nasties sticking out for nov... more >>

Location: WY : Vedauwoo : Nautilus : Cornelius (5.5)
By: SW Marlatt When: Jun 15, 2009 | view comment >> | Comments: Were the bolts added on Sunday (7/14)? I had a group of scouts up there most of Saturday, and didn't see them...
Also - does the crack on the slab just to the right of Cornelius (left-arching line which joins Cornelius about 10 feet below the top) have a name? Short, but a fun little sequence of perfect hand jams.

Location: NV : Red Rock : First Creek Canyon : Romper Room : Algae on Parade (5.7) : Photo
By: SW Marlatt When: Feb 16, 2009 | view comment >> | Comments: Just saw the picture and wondered if that was a Titon. Looks like a perfect placement for one...that's why I continue to carry a couple. (That and I enjoy the ribbing I get...)

Location: CO : Boulder : Eldorado Canyon SP : The West Ridge : West Ridge - Verschneidung ... : West Ridge Traverse (V5)
By: SW Marlatt When: Dec 3, 2008 | view comment >> | Comments: Darn - with a name like that, I was hoping for a description of a full traverse of the West Ridge - say, a girdle traverse rising up from Morning Thunder and topping out around Knight's Move.

Location: CO : Palisade : Things Of Beauty (aka Inter... : Mad Dogs and Englishmen (C1+)
By: SW Marlatt When: Apr 17, 2008 | view comment >> | Comments: Um - not to nitpick, but if you're hammering in iron, shouldn't your rating (C1) reflect it. Say, A1 or A2?

Location: WY : Vedauwoo : Coke Bottle : TM Chimney (5.7+)
By: SW Marlatt When: Oct 11, 2006 | view comment >> | Comments: Very fun climb! However, and perhaps its just 30+ years of caving made this pretty comfortable, but I don't remember this being anywhere near 5.8. 5.7 maybe.
(Just noticed that Kopischka's Vedauwoo guide "Crack Country Revisited," 1982, lists the TM Chimney as 5.6 - typical grade inflation.)

Location: CO : Fort Collins : Poudre Canyon : Bone Caves
By: SW Marlatt When: Aug 23, 2006 | view comment >> | Comments: This is a pretty cool area - lots of options in a very nice setting. It looks like there might be some longer routes on the cliffs up behind the boulders as well.
When I was up here (October 2004), there was a fair amount of trash around some of the boulders - some of it obviously climber debris. If you are going up here, keep it clean. Pack out what you pack in, and a little more as well!

Location: CO : Estes Park Valley : Lumpy Ridge : Sundance Buttress : Sidetrack (5.9)
By: SW Marlatt When: Mar 16, 2006 | view comment >> | Comments: Absolute agree on the 5th pitch - one of the nicest cracks you can imagine. We belayed at the top of the crack - short traverse left to a little, airy, very exposed perch, and worked up through the roof as a 6th pitch. The anchors here were a bit thin but ok (several small wires), but great position!
Wonderful route! You can bear off above the roof, or continue up and slightly right to top out (recommended).

By: SW Marlatt When: Feb 8, 2006 | view comment >> | Comments: As another long time climber and caver, I'd like to add my support to AC's comment - the caves in this area have been carefully protected for many years, and I'd hate to see them damaged by wanton bolting. Please, if you are going to climb here, be respectful of the setting and make every effort to minimize your impact!
