DON'T TOP ROPE OR LOWER OFF OF FIXED ANCHOR, TOO MANY LAZY MORONS, IT'S YOUR LIFE ON THE LINE, TOO.

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

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!!!

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.
