Comments: Did a new bolt magically appear off to the right, towards the top of this route or did I just not notice it last time?

Comments: I "bootied" a quick draw from the start of this route today. If it was yours, let me know and I will be happy to get it back to you.

Comments: The top of this one is a bit dicey. If not for the GREAT view at the top I would give it a bomb. A fun but chossy alternative if Rewritten is crowded. 5.8 R IMO.

Comments: A really fun and clean line. It would be more stimulating without the tick marks on every hand and foot hold after the crux.

Comments: V2-P (P is for PUCKER!) The high-ball section is easy climbing but still pretty heady.

Comments: A really great, unique pitch. I like the "face-out/chimney" move entering the crux.

Comments: Easily 4 stars if it was just a few bolts longer...great moves on perfect stone.

Location: CO : Independence Pass : Lincoln Creek : Sunset Cliff : I'll be Black (5.10b)

Comments: A total sandbag IMO.....balancy, sequential crux on tiny feet and direction-dependent hand holds. I could have missed some key beta or just be a wuss, but I'd give 'er a 10d redpoint or 11a onsight.

Comments: Is this right before Ryan's 40ft screamer/axe to the face incident?

Comments: I happened to be on the first pitch of Rincon when this went down. It was a great send.

Comments: I noticed the Grandmother's Challenge anchor was passed by 1 vote. Does majority rule even if 49.99999% are against it? It seems like it should take more than that to me.

Location: CO : Boulder : Boulder Canyon : The Dome : Cozy Hang 10a Variation (5.10a)

Comments: Isn't this the same route as Cozy Overhang? It seems like a double entry to me...but I could be wrong.

Comments: The comments on rock quality and the sustained nature of this route are spot on. This thing left me bruised and beaten. I trundled several loose rocks from the very top section. The large and somewhat secure chockstones at the exit are still pretty solid. I also needed bigger gear (#4 and #5 Camalot) because the back of the crack was very hard for me to reach.

Comments: I didn't think the runout between bolts was too bad. It would be an uncomfortable fall, but not a dangerous one. I found the suspect rock on P1 more spicy than anything else on the route.

Comments: The Tyrolean across the creek is in bad shape. Both ropes have exposed cores and the cores are about 50% deteriorated. It needs new rope.

Location: CO : Boulder : Upper Dream Canyon : Dream Dome : Stained Glass (5.11c)

Comments: I did this route today. Pretty fun...I'd agree with the previously mentioned rating of 5.10c for P1. Certainly no harder than 11a. The crux was balancy and awkward, but not too strenuous.
