You can catch views of Long's Peak from Lumpy Ridge.

Who knew one could be so serious about "Who new"?

The old meets the new-- but which will prove themselves in battle?

Free Hackattack advice: rock a guidebook or else you could burn up time with sketchy route-finding.

Get this guidebook if you don't have it. The climbing history at Lumpy Ridge is part of its magic!

A good day of climbing.

Anyone recognize this low-angled dome up above Thunder Buttress & The Parish? It is up and left of Observatory Dome on the ridge top. The photo is blurry.

From left to right: Observatory Dome, Sunshine Buttress, The Pear, The Citadel, Lens Rock and The Bookend.

One of the original to-do lists from the 1980 S. K. climbing guidebook. As Scott noted in the paragraph above the list, the arrangement of easiest the hardest is subjective. It would be interesting to hear what the climbers now think? Thoughts?

Don't overlook the bouldering in the area!

Part of Lumpy Ridge. From left to right: The Pear, The Citadel above that, Lens Rock (the small one between), The Bookend (left center), then the Bookmark separated by a sharp gully from the Book on the right.

Another beautiful November day on The Ridge!

The old school "Lumpy Funk" to-do list from the 1980 S. K. guidebook. Has anyone besides Scott done all of these routes?

The "old school" face climb to-do list from the 1980s S. K. guidebook. If completed, your lead head and footwork would be on another level!

Yes, even cacti like it here!
