Feb 14, 2026 If you’re referring to the fang- that thing slid back and forth several inches on me the first time I climbed the route in 2006- it felt like a foot at the time, but I&rs… View Message

Jan 22, 2026 This is worth emphasizing. I believe teacher pay in Reno is higher than in Vegas. Clark County does not, and has never, prioritized education. We left the state after 30 years… View Message

Jan 11, 2026 Be careful at Fiscal- it’s susceptible to the freeze thaw cycle- more than a few big rocks come off there in the early season. I’ve heard there’s a few good c… View Message

Nov 6, 2025 I remember rebolting the Panty Wall with Greg Barnes, Paul Fish, and the OG LVCLC back in 2004? 2005? It was the first red rock rendezvous- whenever what was. Hard to believe i… View Message

Oct 23, 2025 If you climb harder than about 12b, you’ll probably have more fun on limestone.That said, it seems like secret 13 and the front corridor is where most of the strong folks… View Message

Aug 20, 2025 I first visited Eldo 20 years ago and thought it was middling at best. 3 years after moving here, I still haven’t roped up there, so you may be right!Flatirons are defini… View Message

Aug 6, 2025 My kid gives me enough time running after him- dad time is climb time. View Message

Jun 22, 2025 Tan and Dungeon are the go to shady crags for sure. The super long 5.10 at the dungeon is well worth the hike over there after you’ve had some fun at Tan. View Message

Jun 14, 2025 There’s never been a case, to my knowledge, of a rope breaking due to a fall. Cut, abraded, dissolved- yes. But just an old rope snapping because someone fell on it has n… View Message

Jun 13, 2025 Ropes don’t break from having a flat spot. The worst that could happen is a slightly harder catch. If you don’t feel comfortable climbing on it, retire it, but a fl… View Message

May 1, 2025 Movement Golden and Centennial have the best rope options for little ones- Englewood has a great kids area, but sometimes the holds can be a bit too far apart for the wee ones.… View Message

Apr 28, 2025 Sounds like the path- we just zigged and zagged around it a bit to avoid the slippery parts. I used that tree once and agree it was annoying, but it worked out. Better than hau… View Message

Apr 27, 2025 I remember when we used to do that whole descent rappelling at all. I think there are a couple spots where a short rappel is nice, but I’m still surprised most people rap… View Message

Apr 24, 2025 There’s been a few threads on this over the years. If you’re looking at major cities with premier access, plenty of work, and a decent airport/access to other areas… View Message

Mar 7, 2025 Bump. Heading out in May- ideally something accessible by train from Tokyo, but we can rent a car.  View Message

Feb 20, 2025 For what it’s worth, I climbed it with someone who’s 5’1” and they had no problem with it and didn’t do the big move at all. I’ve also had m… View Message

Jan 24, 2025 There is a bolt on the first pitch of frogland that feels like it shouldn’t be there because it’s next to a crack- but if you put a piece in there, your rope invari… View Message

Oct 20, 2024 Golden for sure- it’s more central, quick up to Boulder if you want to go, plus faster access to the big ski resorts and the South Platte. It’s 20 mins further from… View Message

Sep 15, 2024 South of guanella pass is starting to go- I’d bet it’ll be really pretty soon.  View Message

Sep 15, 2024 It’s quite hard to find if you’re trying to avoid rappelling- the only beta I can give is stay high and plan to drop into the south fork of the second fork way back… View Message

Aug 25, 2024 If it’s an Edelrid white/green, yup. If you want to drop it at movement boulder and let them know it’s for John W, I’ll snag it later this week. View Message

Aug 15, 2024 You can get the CNC file from tension if you want to go that route.it should be the standard grid, though. It is a ton of drilling- having drilled a few boards, if you’ve… View Message

Aug 10, 2024 Total chuffer move- left my skwamas and helmet (Edelrid) at the Dungeon last weekend. If you found them, it’d be sweet to get them back. I’d even be happy with just… View Message

Jul 27, 2024 Depends on what you mean by well maintained. Access is easy, anchors and bolts are good- rock quality varies. I’d recommend getting the guide if you’re going to be… View Message

Jul 24, 2024 Canal Zone this time of year is probably the most accessible option.  View Message

Jul 17, 2024 Years back I was exploring a little done route in Vegas and started up the second pitch with my partner perched on a ledge just above a huge terrace- I had him move the belay u… View Message

Mar 28, 2024 Half an hour at best and there are 4 gyms between Longmont and G1.I haven’t heard of any other gyms, but that gym is fairly affordable as far as climbing gyms in the fron… View Message

Mar 27, 2024 Technically you’re not allowed to camp there, fwiw. There’s an ordinance in the City of Golden that doesn’t allow for camping in parking lots anywhere. View Message

Feb 19, 2024 The description on the main page of mountain project seems clear that you can rap it with a single 60m line.that said, I’ve climbed more than my share of moderate multi p… View Message

Feb 17, 2024 Maneater. 5.11 crimping to a two move boulder crux.Charlie’s suggestion of Choad to the first anchor is also a good one if it’s quite cold- Stratocaster is an oven. View Message

Jan 7, 2024 Assuming the wind is blowing in the direction the forecast says it is, anything south or southeast facing should be okay assuming the rock is dry. That said, you won’t kn… View Message

Dec 26, 2023 Depending on how you feel about running it out a bit on easy terrain, Unimpeachable Groping is quite popular and reasonable at the grade with no gear. The start is probably the… View Message
