Morrison
Posted on 30. Nov, 2008 by B3.
Saturday the weather was terrible everywhere and I found myself at Morrison with Rylan Marshall. Conditions were really nice and I warmed up quickly. I had climbed Center Route (which according to John Sherman is one of the standards for V10, along with Full Service) a few years ago, so I had no real objectives. [...]

Eldorado Canyon

Today Jason Pinto and I headed into Eldorado Canyon. We made our way to the back of the Canyon and marched up the Eldorado Canyon Trail. Eldo is a big place, and we weren’t sure exactly where to go. Thank goodness there was a new sign to point the way to our beloved rocks. Past [...]

Joe’s Valley

Last Friday I escaped Colorado on a solo mission to Joe’s Valley. I was interested in seeing some of the new problems that had been put up recently and perhaps climb some of the old classics. I planned on being there for 5 days with the intention of climbing every day. I arrived late in [...]

The Millenium Boulder
Posted on 13. Nov, 2008 by B3.
Sunday I went to the Millenium Boulder with a great crew. The Millenium Boulder is a giant erratic (if anyone knows the actual geologic history of this boulder please share) that lies about a mile or so north of The Black Hole and Morrison, and it stands in great contrast to that scruffy cliffband. This [...]

Southern Colorado
Posted on 10. Nov, 2008 by B3.
Saturday we marched back down to the Wet Mountains. I wanted to finish cleaning off the arete I found last weekend and maybe give it some effort. I didn’t sleep very well Friday night and I was off to a slow start in the morning. Several people were psyched to try The Nickness, a V10 [...]

Southern Colorado
Posted on 05. Nov, 2008 by B3.
Saturday I went to an obscure area in Southern Colorado, in the Wet Mountains. The rock there is very nice, but it is a long 3 hour drive from Boulder. A nice diversion this time of year as the weather is perpetually threatening to shut down the alpine areas. It was a mellow but fun [...]
