Aug 5, 2021 Boulder > Boulder Canyon > Bitty Buttress Bitty Buttress 5.8+ ● Nice route. A little stiff for 8+, IMHO. There are holds for all of the moves except for the last 10 feet o… View Comment
Aug 5, 2021 Boulder > Boulder Canyon Avalon ● As noted below, walk from the legitimate parking (about 0.2 miles past Avalon) PAST the first tyrolean, abo… View Comment
Jul 8, 2021 S Platte > Devil's Head > Headstone Topaz 5.10c ● Fun climbing. Nice slab down low, a little roof to get over and some face climbing - everything you'd want!… View Comment
Jul 8, 2021 S Platte > Devil's Head > Headstone Chickenhead 5.8 ● Ok route but a long hike and drive for me for just an "ok route." Pitch 1 - easy slab climbing - 5.7. P… View Comment
May 26, 2021 Custer SP > Needles Eye Area > Hitching Post Hitching Post 5.3 ● Grades are so subjective... 5.2? No way, IMHO. It was all pretty straight forward climbing but the last 6 f… View Comment

Feb 5, 2021 Southern Nevada > Red Rocks > White Rock Spring > Angel Food Area > Angel Food Wall Tunnel Vision 5.7 ● I kind of hated this route... The climbing isn't particularly interesting, it's mostly groveling in awkw… View Comment
Dec 20, 2020 Southeast Utah > San Juan County > 191 South > Looking Glass Rock Regular Route ("East Rib") 5.4 PG13 ● Two super easy pitches with a 70m rope (which you need for the rap). A few short sections (less than 10 fee… View Comment
Oct 12, 2020 Golden > Lookout Mtn Rd > Tiers of Zion > C. Lower Tier > A. E Wall Trenchtown 5.4 ● Ran this route today with my 13 year old who lead the first two pitches (well, we linked them). I like this… View Comment
Sep 19, 2020 Boulder > Boulder Canyon > Cob Rock Right Crack 5.7 ● Agreed, not worth much more than a quick warm-up. A few moves right off of the ground but then a walk up to… View Comment
Aug 24, 2020 Green River > Sugar Bowl Tower Original Route 5.9 C0 ● Fun route! Don't be scared of the "Aid" comment at all. The first 15-20 feet are loose, crumbly shale but w… View Comment
Jul 19, 2020 Boulder > Flatirons > North > First Flatiron Direct Route 5.6 R ● Climbed early today and planned to have a picnic snack at the summit. When we got to the top, it was covere… View Comment
May 8, 2020 Boulder > Eldorado Canyon SP > Bastille > Bastille - N Face Werk Supp 5.9 ● Pitch 1 surprised me, a lot. I'm not that strong a crack climber, but I felt it was thin and difficult abou… View Comment
May 8, 2020 Boulder > Eldorado Canyon SP > Wind Tower > Wind Tower - SW Face Wind Ridge 5.7 ● Fun route. Top of pitch 1 -the belay ledge is nice and big but not much each pro. It's is much easier to… View Comment
Apr 28, 2020 S Platte > Staunton SP > Raven Optunivor 5.9 ● I liked this route. It's sustained climbing and is easily protected. There is a MASSIVE pile of some sort o… View Comment
Apr 28, 2020 S Platte > Staunton SP > Raven Playing in the Updraft 5.9 ● Fun climb. We did both pitches, and it's an easy 5.8 until you get above the first anchor and climb the las… View Comment
Apr 28, 2020 S Platte > Staunton SP > Dines Cliff > 2. Blazing Saddles Candygram for Mongo 5.10d ● There is a BD #3 cam stuck really hard about 1/2 way up the climb. It looks like it's been there for a whil… View Comment
Apr 28, 2020 S Platte > Staunton SP Dines Cliff ● Major kudos to the massive work effort to build the trail up to the base of the cliff. It was clearly a her… View Comment
Apr 26, 2020 Morrison/Evergreen/Li… Birds and the Bees ● It's a long, bushwhacky (is that a word?) slog from the Urban Alpine crag over here. The "trail" is a steep… View Comment
Apr 26, 2020 Morrison/Evergreen/Li… The Urban Alpine Crag ● This is a nice little crag with five or six nice, very similar climbs. The approach climb up the hill is sp… View Comment
Apr 26, 2020 Morrison/Evergr… > Urban Alpine Crag Gneiss Lee Done 5.10a ● Nice route. The rock is really sharp, and the route is balancy and a little crimpy. A fun climb, fairly gra… View Comment
Apr 25, 2020 S Platte > Staunton SP > Staunton Rocks > Meadow Dome > Permission Wall Harvey 5.9 ● Fun route and fairly graded at 5.9. Lots of bolts (every 5 or 6 feet), so very safe. You can traverse to cl… View Comment

Dec 22, 2019 Golden > Clear Creek Canyon > Catslab Skimbleshanks 5.8- ● Seriously, knot your rope end. A 60m isn't really long enough - a lighter climber won't stretch the rope en… View Comment

Nov 9, 2019 Golden > Clear Creek Canyon > Catslab Skimbleshanks 5.8- ● Fun, slabby climb. The left side of the roof about 3/4 of the way up looks pretty sketchy, a bunch of flake… View Comment
