Location: UT : Moab Area : Castle Valley : Castleton Tower : Kor-Ingalls Route (5.9)
By: westy When: Mar 20, 2009 | view comment >> | Comments: Well...Did the route and glads its over. I love those desert ratings... Crazy chimney fest is the best to describe it. I led the crux and I guess I was in the moment, because I clipped the bolt with a sewn sling and made myself fit into the armpit of hell. After using my toes to move myself bit by bit, I popped out just below the anchors. I didnt even know I passed the crux. But in fair opinion, this route is a good one, it runs you out and wears you down. Not for the faint hearted. Thou... more >>

Location: CO : Estes Park Valley : Big Thompson Canyon : Palisade Mountain
By: westy When: Aug 29, 2008 | view comment >> | Comments: Stay high (out of the valley) and it'll be alright. Denise is right with the poor quality of rock where we were. The actual location in reference to Palisade was the false summit face right of Palisade. We were there for a different type of climbing. From the dam, it's a long venture to get to the actual possibility of route climbing.
I agree Allen. There is an extreme amount of ivy in the Big T.
Climb fast, safe and Fun!

Location: CO : Fort Collins : Poudre Canyon : Greyrock : Southeast Face : Greatest Route (5.8)
By: westy When: Jul 7, 2008 | view comment >> | Comments: Not what I expected. The route was good. Felt the roofs were easier than expected. In fact they were the fun parts when given the whole perspective of this route. The route itself was a bit sketchy due to the runouts, lack of pro, and the pendelum prone traverse. Why I rated it a 5.8+R for the leader.
The beta was good.
If you are going to look for this route, location beta is that when you get to a trail marker post right next to a group of 6 pines ((one looks like a slingshot(denises accor... more >>
