Jumbo Rocks (Conan's Corridor)

5.8 ** 1 pitch
I followed.

Awesome hand crack. Truly awesome. This should have three or four stars. Aaron led this, for which I am exceedingly jealous.
Colorado Crack

5.9 *** 1 pitch
I followed.

This is the true classic of the area. Will (a.k.a. the Brit) led this, and made fairly short work of it, using almost nothing but nuts. Good man.

5.10a ** 1 pitch
I led.

As usual, after two spectacular cracks, I get stuck with the offwidth. Actually, the first 80% of this was pretty nice, especially the thin part. There were a few parts where the… more

5.10c ** 1 pitch
I followed.

This was a real nice climb. It looked like there would be no pro (or marginal pro) at or before the crux, but Aaron was able to place two bomber nuts in the thin crack, and without… more

5.10a *** 1 pitch
I led.

This was a fine, fine climb. The Brit started leading it, but backed down at the crux, which was near the start. I took over, and finished it up. The crux involves a very thin… more

Lost Horse (Hemingway Buttress)

5.10b *** 1 pitch
I followed.

This is one that Aaron and I have been wanting to do for a long time. It was well worth the wait. The first time we had looked at it, it looked runout and scary, but in fact there… more

5.9 *** 1 pitch
I followed.

Also a very nice climb, but probably not quite as high quality as the previous two. The Brit led this one. He had some trouble at the crux headwall, near the top, but he cranked… more

5.10a *** 3 pitches
I led 2.
This was an excellent climb. Aaron and I have been wanting to do this one for a long time, so it's too bad I couldn't do it with him, but I'm glad I finally got to do it. I'll go… more

5.8 R *** 3 pitches
We did it in 2.
I led 1.
This was a really fun route. The Brit led the first pitch, which started out the same as the first pitch of Open Book, then traversed right into a different crack system and went… more
Fiddler on the Roof (Had to bail...)
Black Velvet Canyon (Black Velvet Wall)
Sat, Oct 8
2005
5.10+ PG **** 7 pitches
We climbed 1.
I led 1.
We had to bail from this after Hobbs couldn't do the traverse on the third pitch. He got a little off route, and apparently it seemed harder than the 5.10- that it was supposed to… more
Yellow Brick Road (First 2 pitches only)
Black Velvet Canyon (Black Velvet Wall)
Sat, Oct 8
2005
5.8+ ***** 2 pitches
I led 1.
After bailing off Fiddler on the Roof, we decided to round out the day by just climbing a few pitches of Yellow Brick Road. After two pitches, we both agreed that we were exhausted… more
Frogland
Black Velvet Canyon (Whiskey Peak)
Sun, Oct 9
2005
5.8- ***** 7 pitches
We did it in 6.
I led 6.


This was fun, but there were two parties above us, so the climb was a traffic jam the whole way up. The climb itself was of excellent quality, though, and for once we would have… more
