From the full sit. A real battle

Sets a new standard for bad landings at Lincoln

Right exit to Paths of Glory

Hardest boulder I've done in a while. Maybe 11 who knows.

In the rain. Probably the worst I've ever made a top out look.

Unexpected epic of the trip

Slight tree dab on the topout

Number 200. Soft, but that's how it goes sometimes. Close on a bunch of classics, once it finally drops below 80.

Past Sunseeker, not positive on the name. Felt about low end 11.

what a day

New classic? Unsure on name, but this is what it should be called

feel like myself again

Jumped

what a stunner

Fourteen thousand feet in the air

Established on the slab and stepped off

This place... felt about right but I did a 5C slab that was harder

So good! Not sure what is going on with sit versus stand on this one, but I think starting low on the obvious good holds makes the most sense, and is 7C+.

Definitely worth the 90 minute drive in traffic

Happy. Worked hard for this one

I guess this broke and is 8A now?

Incredible. My six weeks here are finished. The best boulder problem I have ever done.

Apparently this is my 100th v10. Can't think of a better one than a strange, low-ball, two move sit start into an existing problem. Yes!

Surprised how delicate and precise this one was

It's pretty cool to see Front Range development still happening, even this close to town. w/o the detached foot.

Amazing. Need to get back here soon

Can't believe I hadn't done this one. Good to be back

Started with a lower left hand adding a hard first move into the original line. Felt like ten from there.

Really really hard and then not

Relieved

So good

Hard, like OMG hard

Thing to the right of Ain't No Heaven For a Thug.

Underrated

Pretty cool, felt tough. Going with the FA grade

Goodbye Switzerland XOXO

Half the holds were wet and it was raining. Still a great climb.

Jetlagged out of my mind

The struggle is real

Interesting movement

Really really good. Probably the best 9 I've done.

4th day on soo wrecked

Revenge is sweeter than you ever were

Pretty fun for an eliminate.

Sick. 10 tries or so. Need to go do the sit.

Start, go up right hand to the crimp and match. Get a high heel and do a big move left hand up to the flat edge (the foot for the end). Go to the jug. Did it second try this way. The original beta seems cool and hard but unfortunately it is very contrived.

#100. A goal that went from feeling impossible to inevitable. Progression. Time for a new goal now!

Not great, but getting close now

Snow is good right now on this one

Finger is finally feeling better

Yeah v8 but oh man that was a hard one for me.

Hard foot cut with all the ICE

Four day epic last trip, first try this trip

Wow. 26 degrees. A special moment.

Um

So hard for me. Nemesis boulder

Almost did the sit too. Cross my fingers for one more weekend.

Sick. Felt like 9

Sick. Felt like 10

Everything else was soaked

Nice line. Almost dry.

Desperate

Epic day

Had to move fast. Felt like low end 11.

Second ascent. Proud line, awesome moves.

5 tries. Really fun

Flash! Maybe v9?

Crazy dyno. Difficult to grade.

Quick. Before the snowstorm.

In a blizzard! Emerald is about to get dumped on...

2nd go

2nd go

Always felt so hard, glad to put it away.

One of the better lines in Maryland.

Heinous foot cut beta. Four days on last ditch try hard send.

The only thing worse than this climb is the name.

I got all the syrup.

I really don't think this is v9...

Spring and fall, night and day

They can't all be winners.

I think I'm good on Emerald for a bit...

Do you love this shit? Are you high right now? Do you ever get nervous?

Whispers was wet... but this climb is probably just as high quality. Maybe a two-way tie for best v10 in the park?

Very scary and committing. Topped out on wet holds after jumping off the last move once. Could be soft but I really can't tell. Beautiful line.

Best of the grade in CO? So good!

Starts on Bambi and goes left. Figured out the name

Yes! Felt amazing today (Oct-2014: I feel obligated to edit this one- I have been back to the climb since my ascent and the right hand you use to do the pocket move is significantly better. So what I thought was v9 into v8/9 now feels like v9 into v5/6. To me the climb felt right on the v11/12 border when I sent it and that is what my grade on here reflects.)

#50. Redemption.

Felt really good to put this one together.

First day send with NyQuil and frozen fingers.

3 days in Vegas and I didn't drink an ounce or gamble a dime.

Slab dyno!

Hold that swing! Just don't try it in the sun...

Classic. Hot.

So many moves. Fell on the last one once.

First sent 10 years ago, repeated today.

One of the best.

Really good line.

2nd go.

God damn rain

Cool movement

Kind of hard for me. Not really sure why.

Second ascent. Definitely adds a bit to Botslayer.

Finally! Lots of days

Sick crimp move. Less than 10 tries.

3 days, 3rd day on. Tried really hard.

9/10

Don't judge me...

4 stars, perfect line.

Don't like this climb? Just come back next year- five holds will have broken and you'll have something new to try!

"Probably one of the better ten's in Colorado"

6 days.

No toehooks.

V8/9? Psyched!

New start.

Zero stars

Made the foot stay. Hard.

1st try second day.

Awful... just awful.

2nd go

Used the girl beta.
