From a statistical point of view, I think I've hit around 70% of the climbable walls in Eldo, so it is POSSIBLE that there is some big chunk of granite hidden somewhere deep within the West Ridge... by ALIENS!! Jun 3, 2010

I'm SURE that's Bushwhack Crack! Jun 3, 2010

slim	slim It would be one helluva bushwhack to get to that crack from the West Ridge trail. Might want to pack some extra water. Jun 3, 2010 Beta: 0 Flag

Prime conditions facilitate the bold FNA of Bushwhack (in a day) by T-doe. History made, June 11, 2018

Dad jammin' up the last part of the route, this was my first granite lead and i loved it.

Sam on Bushwhack

Heading up the second pitch of Bushwhack Crack. (Or he could be off-route...I remember him telling me he was just exploring.)

P2 as seen from the road. Variation 1 is the crack LT above the tree, variation 2 is the center crack above the tree. Chains atop the pitch are visible as well as the intermediate rapelle atop Callitwhatyouplease. Using that 2 rap path, a 70 just reaches the ground.

Excellent Crack

Bobby on Bushwhack

Bobby and I took my brother out to climb for his birthday on one of the most beautiful November days ever. Bushwhack was just the first of 7 pitches.

Hollow sketchy flakes to the bottom left of anchor block.

On the left variation of the second pitch. Obviously too easy since I have time to kid around.

Bushwack is good.

Lee demonstrates how to place the first piece on Bushwack crack. Seriously, this picture gives a nice view of the lower part of the crack so that you can get a feel for the gear you will need. That is a red metolius.

Block at the base was hit by rockfall from the belay
