Nov 5, 2011 Yosemite NP > Tuolumne Meadows > Fairview Dome Bob Horan runout on Scavenger, Fairview Dome. ● I love this photo because Bob could be on a sea of granite, almost horizontal. Of course, it's not true.… View Comment
Aug 24, 2009 S Platte > Cathedral Spire… > Sunshine Wall Buckshot 5.10b ● I stayed left in the descent gully and didn't need to rap. View Comment
Jul 26, 2009 S Platte > Wigwam Creek/Lost Cre… Wigwam Tower ● Yeah remember we discussed who was the lightest and had to rappel without the cam to back it up. View Comment
Jul 17, 2009 Alpine Rock > RMNP - Rock > Glacier Gorge > Arrowhead Airhead 5.11+ ● Linking pitches 2 and 3 is probably the best way to go. I didn't see a good belay stance and climbing the… View Comment

Nov 1, 2007 S Platte > Cathedral Spire… > Cynical Pinnacle Hand Job (aka West Face) 5.9+ ● I feel certain this route is a 5.10 even for South Platte standards. The final steep handcrack warrants it… View Comment
Aug 15, 2007 Alpine Rock > Mt Blue Sky (fo… > Black Wall Cannonball Corner 5.10+ ● It's totally dry now save the last pitch. We traversed left to join Good Evans at its crux via a difficult… View Comment
Jul 31, 2007 S Platte > Devil's Head > Hole in the Wall Protege 5.11d ● Climbed like Eldo. I thought I was on Prince of Darkness or something. View Comment

Mar 27, 2006 Boulder > Eldorado Canyon SP > Redgarden Wall > Redgarden - Tower One Parting Shot 5.11b/c ● A very enjoyable and safe pitch. When linked together nothing larger than a red Alien is necessary. If yo… View Comment
Nov 22, 2004 S Platte > Cathedral Spire… > Sunshine Wall Standard Route 5.11- R ● Each belay is equipped with new rap anchors. The descent is now possible in 5 single rope rappels. Don't… View Comment
Nov 7, 2004 Boulder > Eldorado Canyon SP > W Ridge > W Ridge - part E - to… Blackout 5.10a ● I didn't think this warranted an "S" rating. It protects pretty well with rp's. The real danger is the lo… View Comment
Sep 6, 2004 Alpine Rock > Mt Blue Sky (formerly… The Black Wall ● I have used both rap routes and found the one Bob installed to be more usefull. The rap is cleaner, withou… View Comment

May 21, 2004 Boulder > Eldorado Canyon SP > Hawk-Eagle Ridge Tombstone 5.11a ● Not bad climbing, it's just so short. Maybe 30'? Poison Ivy abounds. View Comment
May 21, 2004 Boulder > Eldorado Canyon SP > Redgarden Wall > Redgarden - S Buttress Black Top 5.11 ● It's very difficult to see the 3rd bolt from the stance where you place the 1" cam (look left). It's also… View Comment
Apr 27, 2004 Laramie Area > Vedauwoo > Ice Box (later rename… Mud in Your Eye 5.10d ● The flare at the top is safely protected with normal Camalots. It's not quite as hard as its neighbor, Lic… View Comment
Apr 3, 2004 Boulder > Flatirons > South > Maiden South Crack 5.11 ● Two #3 Camalots would be very useful for the start and middle of the traverse. View Comment
Mar 11, 2004 Boulder > Boulder Canyon > Lower Dream Canyon > Plotinus Wall > Middle The Scientist 5.11a/b ● Great route. Tricky footwork gains the crux handhold. Glad to see there aren't bolts near the crack. View Comment
Jan 24, 2004 Boulder > Upper Dream Canyon > Lost Angel Earth Voyage 5.12a ● ...or a bad immitation of Stuart Smally. View Comment
Sep 16, 2003 Boulder > Flatirons > North > Green Mtn Pinnacle Death and Transfiguration 5.11b ● I thought there were two spots that were at least 5.11a. The initial traversing move to the right and just… View Comment
