Jun 23, 2026 Colorado Springs > Old Stage Rd > Cathedral Park > Monastery You know you want to try it. It's waiting for an offwidth superstar to go send it. You'll find it on the south side of the formation just east of the first rappel off the top. ● You'll need your #7 and 8 cams for that one! View Comment
Jun 19, 2026 Europe > Iceland Hnappavellir ● Awesome area. Due to the blowing wind and rain we couldn’t climb but we had a look around. Very beautiful.… View Comment

Apr 24, 2026 Colorado Springs > Old Stage Rd > Cathedral Park > Monastery > Pilgrimage (5.9+ 5c 17 VI 17 E1 5a) At the top of pitch 3. Are we done yet? ● Ya, you're basically done, haha XD View Comment
Mar 2, 2026 Colorado Springs > Old Stage Rd > Cathedral Park > Squire Gulch > Left Side Noodling the Catfish 5.11d PG13 ● For the record, and it seems like it is correct here, the rules of modern climbing that are generally widel… View Comment

Feb 24, 2026 Colorado Springs > Old Stage Rd > Cathedral Park The Monastery ● Unless I missed something in my many trips here which is possible but unlikely, the only bolted routes or… View Comment
Feb 24, 2026 Colorado Springs > Old Stage Rd Cathedral Park ● RG, I am well aware of that fact, and that occurred in no cases. For the vast majority of the routes here,… View Comment
Feb 24, 2026 Colorado Springs > Old Stage Rd > Cathedral Park A bird's eye view of Cathedral Park with my names for the formations. ● Well said, Sam. As always I am open to feedback/corrections. I’m using the knowledge I had at the time. View Comment
Feb 23, 2026 Colorado Springs > Old Stage Rd > Cathedral Park A bird's eye view of Cathedral Park with my names for the formations. ● They were all made up. If you have some older beta, please feel free to let me know, and I will update it. View Comment
Feb 19, 2026 Colorado Springs > Old Stage Rd > Cathedral Park > Squire Gulch > Left Side Noodling the Catfish 5.11d PG13 ● Good job sending this, Brent. It's certainly the best looking route in Squire Gulch. It seems like it needs… View Comment
Feb 3, 2026 Colorado Springs Blodgett Peak ● As another data point, for Skyline Crag my GPS usually clocks the approach around 1.6 miles, and it takes m… View Comment
Jan 23, 2026 Colorado Springs > Pike's Peak > Big Buttress Don't Follow the Goats 5.10 R ● Yeah, I think this is the line people take when they swear Zeb's is 5.10. It looks fun though! View Comment
Jan 3, 2026 Colorado Springs > Bear Creek Cañon Park Dakota Hogback (submitted as Bear Canyon) ● Jeremiah, I agree with you on that. The rock on the far west side of the formation can be dangerously choss… View Comment
Jan 1, 2026 Africa > S Africa > Cape Town > Table Mountain > Fountain Ledge Jacobs Ladder 5.8 ● A classic. Definitely an “old school” grade. View Comment
Jan 1, 2026 Africa > S Africa > Cape Town > Table Mountain > Fountain Ledge Escalator 5.9 ● A fun climb. After the crux slot/bulge, we belayed from the second smaller belay ledge out climber’s right.… View Comment

Sep 16, 2025 Colorado Springs > Old Stage Rd > Cathedral Park > Monastery The Pilgrimage 5.9+ ● Hmm, I don’t recall a 5.9 move to get to that bolt, but I don’t doubt it. You can get a funky BD #4 or 5 pl… View Comment
Sep 15, 2025 Colorado Springs > Old Stage Rd > Cathedral Park > Monastery The Pilgrimage 5.9+ ● For the start of P3 getting to the bolt, look climber’s right when you are below the bolt, and you’ll find… View Comment
Aug 31, 2025 Colorado Springs > Bear Creek Caño… > Dakota Hogback… > Swine & Dine (5.6 4c 14 V 12 S 4b) This is the leftmost route on the east face. It may be toprope accessible (small red arrow) if you're brave and sling the top boulder prior to clipping the anchors. ● There’s a fine line between bravery and stupidity. The top of the cliff here is quite loose. I’d highly rec… View Comment
