Awesome climb with great views and very photographic. sandbagged 5.9 that has some fall potential if your not careful. I mostly boulder, but this climb was really fun.

Its in the Mofurkey Area (Dark Side). Climb the slots on the left side of the Mofurkey boulder, try not to dab on the boulder behind you or fall into the pit.

Excellent

Awesome movement, very fun sequence with a difficult undercling start. Failure beta here: https://www.instagram.com/p/BcgMG5yFL9x/, on my send go I did a dyno rather than the static beta but didn't get a video.

Fun addition to Curmudgeon. v8 maybe. https://www.instagram.com/p/BVEVyrUlHzi

The Trash Can Boulders near camping of Wrinkled Rock area in Rushmore.

A session and a half of effort. Fun v6. https://www.instagram.com/p/BUBRkhBFs3A

Feels more difficult when you climb it when you have the flu.

2 sessions. Beta intensive and required a full extensions reach while using a tricky toe hook. You pass this boulder on the right side on the way to love matters. https://www.instagram.com/p/BIQKzaqhFSp

Not sure about the grade on this one. Took 5-6 tries. I cant image this being v9, but maybe being short is helpful on this one. https://www.instagram.com/p/BGfdOgttceC

First solid v8. 3 year project completed. I tried at least 10 sessions with various beta over the last 3 years. Finally went down with a left heel hook and the double bump on the right crimp. https://www.instagram.com/p/BGCfP-vNcRN/

First tried this 05/2016. Was able to climb it this time within 3 tries. It felt around v6 to me.

Great crimp line. Felt v6 with the right beta, I used a right hand gaston instead of using it as a pinch. Took about 3 sessions of effort, after figuring out the beta it only took a couple tries. https://www.instagram.com/p/BFGBJ4xNcdF/

Used the gaston method. Took 2 sessions. https://vimeo.com/158757341

Took about 2 sessions.

One of the best of Colorado so far. Took 2 sessions.

Beta intensive, took 2 sessions. https://vimeo.com/138706832

Corner arrete of "The Cube" boulder, to the right of the v6 face climb.

Sharp. Ouch.

Sharp right hand crimp. Took 2 sessions.

Another contrivance. Instead of starting at the flake of menwax, sit start on the jugs at the bottom of the arete. Throw a right hand to the sloping pinch and continue straight up.

Follow arrete left of valhalla. In the dark side area.

First v7. Took about 9 sessions over 2 years.

In the darkside area.

Beautiful area.

One of the most aesthetic lines at Joes. Awesome location and interesting movement.

Possibly the best problem I have ever done, perfect movement.

Fun problem to stumble upon.

Great climb at emerald lake.

Great climb at Mount Sanitas. Its tucked away if you follow the climbing access trail as you first approach the first climbable boulder.

Ouch. Its a tendon breaker.

Setup a top rope solo for it. Fun for running laps on.

Roadside boulder.

In the Cloud shadow area.

Super fun but makes you work for it (old school v2). Personally this felt more difficult than most V5/6c I have done.

A nice first lead although the first bolt takes a little commitment to get to.

Short climb, but fun.

Fun Kid friendly climb.

For the grade its a blast. Well protected

Fun first lead or kids climb.

Guidebook says v2.

Classic sloper compression problem.

Super fun sloper heel hook.

Great fun for first time climbers or kids.

A little sketchy and short, one of the anchors at the top was about to fall off.

On the same slab and same start as Slipper, but keep far left and climb the face.

When approaching the large slabs look left for two 30ft slabs. This is on the left slab, the first 10ft is a very easy graded slab then it turns into a more technical climb on crystals that follows the bolts up right. There are two bolts up top for setting up a top rope, make sure to bring runners.

Fun warmup sport climb. 3 bolts.

Only climbable during Triple Crown.

Only climbable during Triple Crown.

Great steep climbing.
