Location: CO : Telluride/Norwood area : Ophir : Ophir Wall : Main Wall : Hot Wee Wee (5.9)
By: Victor McConnell When: Oct 20, 2007 | view comment >> | Comments: Great climb. This was the first route I did in the Telluride area. And it was typical of everything I found climbing in this area to be: diverse, challenging, packed with history and situated in a beautiful setting. And it was a rare day in that we ran into some other climbers (Paul Ross, who was climbing the route with his son). The final 5.9 offwidth is pretty stout. There is also a 5.9(R?) face climbing variation on the face to the left called Black Primo.

For people who begin climbing at Rumney (as I did), it is good to look in the guidebook and see that trad routes with a bit of mental factor exist.

By: Victor McConnell When: Sep 22, 2007 | view comment >> | Comments: Great route. Some history: Jerry Handren never wanted this route to be retro-bolted. He placed the two bolts on rappel pre-sport climbing era. With no top-rope rehearsal, he sent the thing after 4 days of effort and some serious fear.
The bolts were chopped by Ken Nichols when he came and chopped all of Rumney's bolts. Then the route was retro-bolted, though Jerry thought it should have remained as a mental/physical testpiece.
According to a post Jerry made on supertopo, the original loc... more >>

By: Victor McConnell When: Sep 19, 2007 | view comment >> | Comments: For a little adventure, continue climbing past the top of Armed and Dangerous. A variety of paths can be taken, 5.7-5.8, for another pitch. Walk-off to the left.
