Description
History: this route was put up by Michael Hartley. The following is his quote pulled from the Acid Rock page: "I put up the two pitch route in the '90s, mostly rope solo, and all but the last bolt on lead. Polly Fiedler belayed me on the first pitch and for a couple of bolts on the second. It’s called Bit by Bit, since it took me quite a few trips up there to work on it, and each time I’d only get in a bolt or two. I thought it was pretty hard, but that kind of climbing isn’t my forte either. I certainly don’t think it’s 10 minus. To my knowledge, Bob Robertson did the first complete ascent. I was never able to pull it off continuously route solo." This route can be found in Peter Hubbel's South Platte: The Rock Climber's Guide as "Unknown Route, 5.10b". When Michael states he doesn't think the route is 10-, he is referring to the grade given in Hebbel's guidebook. Other climbers seem to agree that the route is harder than 10b. On the page for Sandinista WMcD and Rob Bauer agree that the route is more like 11b. People seem to agree that this climb deserves a PG-13 or R rating.
