Kirk's Corner 

An extra .75, and #1 cam (or equivalent) would be nice to have on this crack, and a few others at the crag. I led Kirk's Corner on [Saturday] with one of each of these cams, and thought it would have been nice to have at least one more in that size range...

For the crag, it's 3 stars, even though it's short.

Good rests between the hard spots keeps the grade lower.

Extra #1 and #2 Camalot would be helpful. I did not see an anchor at the top.

You give this a 5.8+ and say "no way it is a 5.9" ??? Come on, Ben, doesn't the + at the end of the 5.8 grade mean you think it is awful close to a 5.9? Seems like splitting hairs to call it 5.8+ but say "no way" it is 5.9.

Just a though on how strongly your language might be interpreted.

There are shiny new bolts at the top of this one, easily accessible for setting up a top rope if so desired.

Read my profile and you'll see that I live in the Conifer area. Sorry Ben, but those bolts will be gone before you can get to them.It already was convenient to set a TR on this cimb.

Me and my big mouth! I guess I'll have to keep any discovery of new bolts in the Platte as a personal note only. It seems to me that Squat Rock is a great place for first time crack climbers, so what's wrong with making it accesible to someone without a rack? Hey Tulio, maybe these bolts would have provided the practice for people aspiring to get on the Center Route, thus reducing your frustration over there.

Great route. I live in Conifer as well, I hope the bolts don't get chopped. While their placement can be debated, they aren't without worth. The damage has been done, don't make it worse.

Outstanding three star route. A must do lead. Just wish it was longer . . . Unable to locate the above mentioned bolts.

Hubbel's guidebook recommends bringing along extra 3"-4" cams - I didn't place anything in that range. A SR to a #2 Camalot will work just fine. A couple of absolutely bomber nut placements on the left of the crack at the start allow you to carry single cams to a #2.

Great route, one of my SPlatte favorites... To bad it isn't longer

Seemed like it was more deserving of the 5.9 rating then lichen or not, just because (IMO) the crux moves were more committing. Didn't see any bolts and didn't see any no trespassing signs.

Another good natural line (is there a bad one around here?)! People w/ small feet could find this a soft .9; For me .9+. good locks & crack moves (there's a great hex placement also). Don't count on bolts to be here for the anchor; there is a good natural seam for temp pro (handsized cams ok) & a walkoff. No point in debating a bolt issue, locals manage this area.
