Daniel Woods on Interstellar Overdrive


Description 

Interstellar Overdrive, commonly called just Interstellar, ascends the sheer sweep of stone on the far right of the cliff. A sustained 13a leads to an OK shake and fairly stout V8 boulder problem. The crux, which is all about reach, involves some thin edges (a little glue), and is followed by another 10 feet of hard climbing to the chains. Certainly one of the most classic hard routes on the Front Range, with easy access and morning shade. Now I just have to redpoint it....


Protection 

8 or 9 bolts.

Dear Issy,

You always hated it when I called you that. Listen, I'm really sorry things ended the way they did. Maybe if we had more time in this life. But that's just not the case. We had a lot of good times, and I'm greatful for the ride you've taken me on, but...it's not you; it's me. I know you may hate hearing this, but you're too good for me. I know, I know, we were close. Really close. But if we can't work things out in 4 months, what makes you think we can do it in two weeks? I've got other projects to think about. Don't give me that look. We talked about this, being open to seeing other projects, remember? We both know there are plenty of other better climbers out there for you, especially ones up for the 4th ascent. You are beautiful. It just isn't working out and I've got to move on, and you should too. I'm sorry.

Goodbye,

C.D.

Damn that's funny s$!t. Were those your draws posted for the last month, and if so did you pull them?

I started working this route recently and was happy to find draws already in place. (Thanks, Chris) I always appreciate when draws are in place on a route. But apparently some people don't. After Chris took his draws down, I decided I would go ahead and hang mine on it. That was Sunday the 4th. Saturday I came back psyched to get on the route and found all my draws missing. I don't get it. Why would a climber steal another climbers draws? It makes no sense to me. If anyone knows anything about this send me an email at dsnydes33@yahoo.com
