Cracking Up 5.11b  CO : Golden : ... : North Quarry / Pinnacle Are...
This route does not look very good at first glance, but hidden in the lichen are some horizontal edges and good crimp holds. The first few moves, protected by gear, are difficult, and in some suspect rock. The hardest climbing is near the first bolt. I went with the guidebook rating for this one, but it felt easier than 11b. It is hard 5.10 in my opinion....[more]   Browse More Classics in CO

Today, I led my wife, Jeana, up a climb immediately right of Cracking Up. Stem an alcove up to and over a chockstone that dams a pond of rubble. Place a #0.5 Camalot in a horizontal. Move up and left to the base of a 4-inch crack in a right-facing dihedral. Place a #0.75 Cam to the left, in a horizontal. Climb crack to top (5.8-). I didn't have a 3 1/2-inch (or bigger) piece, so I placed a wobbly #3 Cam in a narrower space and excavated lichen from a small, shallow horizontal pocket for a red C3. I also excavated lichen from a key right-angling crimp on right wall of dihedral. Could call it "Rubble Rouser."
