Working up to Yellow Spur

All the easy classics...although pitch 2 of Werk Supp is hard by my standards.

Well, as you know, difficulty does not equate to danger.  P2 of Werks supp has tons of bomber gear.  

This makes sense since these climbs get done a lot more often than Jules Verne and Perilous Journey... 

Not sure how this relates. These routes are quite run out even for the most skilled trad leader.

Just that it makes sense to me that the classic easy routes are going to have way more injuries/incidences than run out scare fests, just due to sheer numbers. Not many people even get on JV, and they are usually climbing below their limit. 

I've climbed/led all of the easy classics in Eldo up to 5.8, and quite a few 5.9/10. I can see getting injured on Rewritten just because of the looseness and other climbing above you. I've never climbed harder than 5.11, so I can't speak to the real hard climbs in Eldo.

The board by the restrooms hasn't been updated since 2002 and it's not clear where that data originated. The AAC analysis linked above is current as of 2017.

The board by the bathrooms was completely gone the last time I was in Eldo sometime around March.

The board by the restrooms was in the process of being replaced. Thanks to ACE, Neptune Mountaineering, and the Colorado Parks Foundation, the new board is in place. Extra thanks to Shelley from Neptune who did double duty as graphic designer and project manager. Accident data current as of March, 2020.

Very nice, Mike. I liked that graphic, so I was bummed it was gone. Glad they just updated it.
