Comments: Pretty darn good route name though...making fun of the less than quality setting and rock.

Comments: This is a great pitch. I remember getting in some small gear/threads before the first bolt. I suspect that a fall from the high slab crux would not be pleasant.

Comments: This is a really good route. The crux pitch is a classic shit or get off the pot scenario, but very do-able.

Comments: Excellent route. A large cam (#3 Camalot?) can be placed about 10 feet up in an odd vertical slot to get you to the nut placement near the arete.

Comments: This is a top shelf line! It is also a bit intimidating. I think I managed a pink tricam near the crux that was a good supplement to the small nuts. You can also get a great sling over the flake you reach for at the crux.

Comments: This route gets my vote for best blue-collar-puker on the front range. A great recommendation for the good looking sport climber type who occasionally ventures north from Boulder. The best thing is- these types usually have a babe-in-tow and you'll have plenty of time to get to know her while her beau is projecting on the gaping nightmare above. Bon Voyage!

Comments: I actually think the grade is pretty close to right. Being consistent with my comments, I really like this route, technical and interesting down low with a cool distinct crux followed by some run-out jugging up easier terrain ah...

Comments: I think this is one of the best route I have done in the canyon. I like it almost as much as The Naked Edge. I don't think it gets done nearly as much. Although it has been nearly five years since I have done the route I don't remember the first pitch being quite as hard as 11c. Steve is right on with the gear though, a couple of TCUs will give you all the malcomb you need on the finger crack first pitch.The last pitch is completely spectacular.

Comments: I also thought this really good pitch. It is a cool mix of technical and physical with a side of holy shit! I had the typical good luck of getting to lead the last 2/3 of the route in a light rain(not recommened). The pro at the bottom is better tahn you expect. Bon Voyage! TF
