Shirtless Mike Jul 9, 2020 Straight Into Frantic Oblivion 5.13d ● Basically that "Straight into Frantic Oblivion" was put up up first and is now relegated to link-up status.… View Comment
Owen S Jul 6, 2020 Straight Into Frantic Oblivion 5.13d ● Mike, I'm not 100% sure what you're trying to say, but I messaged Kevin to clear this up. Malfunction Junct… View Comment

Shirtless Mike Feb 4, 2020 Straight Into Frantic Oblivion 5.13d ● The pictures of Kevin are not on this route, or at least as it's currently known. No where on this route a… View Comment
Kerwin Loukusa Feb 21, 2019 Infernal Justice 5.13b ● FYI, I ripped off a good edge up and left of the fifth bolt (to the left of the good three/four finger pock… View Comment
Doug Hearon Dec 11, 2018 Eternal Sunshine 5.12a ● Just a heads up, the nut on the second fixed draw hanger needs to be tightened. It was only hanging on by a… View Comment
Anurag Malwade Nov 27, 2018 Total Eclipse 5.12d PG13 ● Between the 2nd and 3rd bolt a bunch of rock fell off this past weekend. An intermediate hold seems to have… View Comment
Craig Childre Mar 21, 2017 Straight Into Frantic… (5.13d 8b 31 X 32 E8 7a) Kevin Wilkinson working his project, Straight into Frantic Oblivion. ● Got this angle jugging the rope on Solstice. View Comment
Craig Childre Mar 21, 2017 Hail Mary 5.12c/d ● Posted most of the shots I have from the FA. What a mixed weekend. Kevin put up two FA's and a guy fe… View Comment
Craig Childre Mar 21, 2017 Hail Mary (5.12c/d 7c 28 IX 28 E6 6b) Jesse wanted the first ascent sooo bad. I think he did five 1 arm pullups trying to latch the crux hold. Feet are everything, and his body position here is less than ideal. ● Contrasted by how Kevin put it up during his attempt. View Comment
Train4life Feb 14, 2017 Hail Mary 5.12c/d ● I disagree with the 12b grade. But we are splitting hairs. It's a very peculiar one move wonder. If you… View Comment
Luke Bertelsen Nov 21, 2016 It Knocks Your Socks Off 5.13b ● This is #5 on the for Solstice Cave. View Comment
Frank Stein Mar 27, 2016 Hot Tamale 5.10b ● Bolting is a little funky, and I wasn't enamored with the caving hangers for the anchor. The whole thing fe… View Comment
Frank Stein Mar 27, 2016 Scorcher 5.11c ● Truly a one move wonder with a very long deadpoint. Pretty fun. View Comment
Jerry432 May 26, 2015 Hail Mary 5.12c/d ● A fun route for sure but I have to disagree on the 13 rating. If you know the beta and climb moderates its… View Comment
Train4life Apr 30, 2015 Hail Mary 5.12c/d ● Yes, sorry to downgrade it but the people I asked down at LCC all said around 12b! I was shocked, I thought… View Comment
Jerry432 Apr 19, 2015 Eternal Sunshine 5.12a ● Thanks for posting the hold blew. I was about to post until I read yours! I like ES even more now that the… View Comment
Craig Childre Mar 30, 2015 The right half of the Solstice Cave. There are some new lines and lots of silly linkups since this topo was drawn. Note that the routes with a "?" did not have confirmed grades at the time this was created. Expect those lines to be anywhere from 2-4 letter grades over-rated, as was the case with the routes in the cave that I climbed. Routes without "?"'s are "confirmed" at that grade, but don't expect them to match what you see on KW's 8a.nu scorecard. ● Why so hostile about KW? Usually folks just warn about inflated grades in the area, instead of launching a… View Comment
Craig Childre Mar 23, 2015 Hail Mary 5.12c/d ● Kevin Wilkinson put up the first ascent of this in 2005/6. Originally he rated it 12d, but was projecting… View Comment
Jason Halladay Dec 9, 2014 Eternal Sunshine 5.12a ● The crimp is a full pad and really positive. The new move from the crimp is a tad more reachy because it's… View Comment
Rich Strang Dec 8, 2014 Eternal Sunshine 5.12a ● Glad that it's not too much harder (is it reachy?). Andre and Matt told me about that hold breaking. Good t… View Comment
Jason Halladay Dec 8, 2014 Eternal Sunshine 5.12a ● The glue-reinforced/glued-on right-hand sidepull between the first and second fixed chain draws has broken… View Comment
Craig Childre Dec 3, 2014 Hot Tamale 5.10b ● I agree the bolting isn't ideal, but I never had a problem with the setup. My first time on this route it… View Comment
Hendrixson Nov 27, 2014 Hot Tamale 5.10b ● The bolting on this line is rather odd. The first bolt in particular should be higher to prevent a falling… View Comment
Craig Childre Jul 17, 2014 It Puts the Buff On (5.13a 7c+ 29 IX+ 29 E6 6c) frank on the start of "puts on the buff" ● Almost to the knee bar rest! View Comment
Nik Shah Jan 6, 2014 Essence of Darkness 5.13a ● Really fun route, I would suggest stick clipping the first 2 bolts. View Comment
Craig Childre Mar 1, 2013 Straight Into Frantic Oblivion 5.13d ● Cool to see it's been repeated. I think when we watched Kevin working for the 1st ascent he was skipping t… View Comment
Rich Strang Nov 28, 2012 Eternal Sunshine 5.12a ● This one's a 4 star route that gets downgraded because of several EVEN BETTER!! 5.12's (ie. Swept Away). Re… View Comment
Craig Childre Jul 3, 2012 Infernal Justice 5.13b ● This is a Gogas favorite! View Comment
Shirtless Mike Feb 22, 2011 It Puts the Buff On 5.13a ● A rad jug haul, one of the steeper endurance routes in NM. There aren't many hard moves, the crux is only… View Comment
Craig Childre Feb 17, 2011 The left half of the Solstice Cave. There are some new lines and lots of silly linkups since this topo was drawn. See this [[107040917]] for route names and descriptions. ● I think the line for "Frantic" is incorrect. Unless he updated it after he sent it. Originally the line s… View Comment
