The Barb. I don't have a good photo handy, so someone else submit one (if I'm right). |

That's the one. It was very entertaining to watch my friend and his (fortunately) tall partner do this downclimb from our vantage safe on the shoulder. |

The route has some pretty good sections (the roof). YDPL8S wrote:The Guardian, now that's overhung!No, but that is closest to the real route yet... And integrates all (now 4) clues... 1) A Horan Route, and one he reacted to, when hearing that someone did it. 2) Within a few miles of Eldo (Flatirons) 3) Alcohol offered as a prize for the winner 4) You guys are SKUNKED so far... Someone should have it by now! |

Ok, so it's in SKUNK canyon and it's related to alcohol. My guess is it's on MP so I thumb through (i.e., MP is my FlatIrons guidebook) the current crop of routes and look for booze related names. It's probably one of these two: Ok, so it's the second one as the photos match, but I cheated so I am disqualified. Note, this was seriously obscure. |

But I did the FA of Burger Madness, which looks more like this: Joe Crotty has lead that one too... but Bob Horan has not. Hint #5: "What are you guys, DRUNK? This one is even in the books!" |

It's probably one of these two: * Wild Turkey * Under The Influence Ok, so it's the second one as the photos match, but I cheated so I am disqualified. Note, this was seriously obscure.OK, but you guessed based on the hints prior to checking the photo... So I'll give you that. You also got it based on Clue #4... So that's 2 beers remaining. Which means I owe you 2 beers. You going to be at the social on Tuesday? Everyone else, thanks for playing the 'Obscure' game. There are a LOT of big overhangs int eh flatirons... Just for fun, here is a nearby one that Joe already knows (that would be me in the pink and him in the white) |
