A short, sustained route on nice rock that has moments of looking like the good stuff at the wasteland. If this route were 4 times longer, it would be a worthy route anywhere.
Location
The first route to the right of Space for the Papa. There is some rock between these two routes that may sprout a route later, however.
Quite a few climbers have posted our routes, which we have no problem with. We are disappointed with this particular route posting.
#1 It’s Michael … not Micheal
#2 When posting one of our routes please post the original grade. Original grade is.11a.
#3 Please leave a detailed description of the route you have posted.
Start with cruxy feet but pretty good hands (especially a killer hand hold up and out left) to get established. A nice undercling will launch you to a great hidden in-cut up and left. Follow nice various Rifle side pulls/ in cuts/ slopers and good feet up and right past clip 2 to a fair rest at an intermittent crack at clip 3. Some great but unobvious hands with more good feet will get you to the anchors.
Nice stone with some sustained movement, albeit a short route.

BJ, you may want to re-read the top of page 24 in "your" guidebook.

Michael,
As I have said before, I am more than happy to sit down and talk with you if you have concerns, but for whatever reason you refuse.
I would say he should post the grade that the route actually is. Many of your climbs are sandbagged, even for Rifle, which doesn't really do much for anybody. It's great you are putting up all these routes, but why not accurately grade them?
