Luke Childers crushing the "Armory" classic "Ken T'anks for the on-sight warm-up. It's a must do line!!

Luke Childers on "Fluid Mechanic" located at "The New River Wall's" bouldering area. Great climb!! Powerful from start to finish....

Photo beta for "The little Eiger Boulders." These boulders house such classics as the "Animal (V10-11)" and "Smoke On The Water (V7)" and many more. Thus, making these boulders a Clear Creek Canyon bouldering pit stop that is not to be missed!!!

My favorite view.

In addition to all the fine sport climbing, CCC also hosts frequent mantis vs. spider showdowns. The mantis won this one.

Awesome and unique bouldering throughout Clear Creek Canyon.

It's got climbing in the V8/V9 range in two if not three places. At this point I feel like 5.13c/d seems about right, but to really make the grade solid I will probably give a rating of 5.13b/c when I have completed the project. <br>

Hard power/tech that packs a bouldering style pump. Tasty.

Luke Childers on the technically powerful and polished lip moves that link the (SDS) of "Carrera GT (V10)" to the finishing section of "Carrera (V8)." Much better climbing than I had expected!! I give it stars!!
