Man, I was hoping this thread was going to be about how people in Eldo need to stop shouting belay commands and work out some rope tugs. Big disappointment.

And remember; if one word is hard to understand-a paragraph is far worse.

I think they're just jealous we're so lucky to live near
such a world class climbing area. . .that not only includes
Eldo, but Boulder Canyon, RMNP just up the road, SPlatte down the
road. . .

Hehe, yeah, Utah barely has any world class climbing. After all isn't the Creek the "best crag in 'Rado?". Better not tell you about all the other ones :D

Better to just love it all, imo.

And to honor the op's title:

Please, if you are in Eldo...quit yelling. Your partner can't hear you anyway. Learn some rope tugs.

Edited to remove STFU cause it's kinda rude.

So, let me get this straight-Boulder Canyon, with routes like Country Club, Athlete's Feat,Cosmosis,Divine Wind,Empor,FM, Kangaroof,Umph Slot,Englishman's Home,Grand Inquisitor, Arms Bizarre, etc.; is a lame area? Maybe you need to get away from the Sport Park and Bowling Alley.

In Utah this would be 3.2

After a few of these:



Pretty much all Colorado beers would taste like 3.2...

Take that, Eldo Prancers!

Ha ha.

Assuming you haven't been hit by a loose rock or cam dropped from several pitches up first.

In Eldo those holds would have a greasy buildup of chalk (could be said of many "gotten too popular areas")
