Bouldering first ascents?! Ha, ha, ha.... that's a good one.

um integrating over an area doesn't give aceptable units for a number of FA's

:)

but 2 last
and a lot more coming up, just found a new area!

I did a sit down start of almost every moderate route in Eldorado Canyon and I am working on renaming and reposting them all. Roughly 275 FA's. I will have more FA's in Eldo than Erikson, Ament, and Kor combined!

Example: The old Bastille Crack will now be know as "Crazy-ass
L Smith SDS Route". Wind Ridge = "Gnar L Smith SDS Variant". Etc.

Awesome Lee, I can't wait to see all your post and the new names are great.

Yeah, since bouldering isn't climbing anyone who boulders is a total loser idiot and they should have their fingers cut off for talking about bouldering "first ascents." Haha. Losers.

So if you did not do any FA's last year that means you are a 'gym only' climber? Hmm? In 16 years of climbing I have done/been part of doing only a handful of FA's (12?)......ever. Guess that was a career wasted.

Yes, but I can think of two of your FA's that are Wisconsin neo-classics.

In all of my life, I have done about four. Guess I'm a loser gym climber too.

I belayed Todd Gordon once while he was FA-ing something.

4, My son also did 1 at the age of 5.

Glad you see it my way.

Just did a few last year, but this year I'm hoping for the the FA up the west face of this.

Robert, be sure to photograph and videotape the FFA of Little Devil for all of us to view.

Wet face of Little Devil is aid, and hard nailing at that. It'll never go free.

I think I'll use a helmet cam, so all can enjoy it like they were there.
