This weekend was somewhat uncertain for climbing, although I did get out on Sunday, and made the second ascent of Brian Camp’s Silver Leaf V10 at Horsetooth Reservoir. The problem presents a very unique challenge and although it had been tried by a number of very strong climbers no one had managed an ascent. I [...]

The weather in Boulder continues to be cold and the snow has lingered. Yesterday I made my way up to Flagstaff to climb Hollow’s Way, probably the best line on the Mountain. Unfortunately, that problem was covered in snow, so we made our way up the road to check out a new problem put up [...]

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. [...]

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 [...]

The Millenium Boulder

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 [...]

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

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 [...]

I was sore this morning and I went to Vedauwoo by myself. It was a long and quiet drive. To be honest I miss having the old crew around and somehow lonely Wyoming seemed to be an appropriate choice today. My sights were set on Cumulus, a problem put up a while back by local [...]

Formula 50

Here is a quick video of Formula 50 in Clear Creek Canyon. It is essentially a right variation to Dark Waters. Luke Parady, I believe, put up the first ascent and graded it V10. Although it is quite low, fun moves and good rock make it worthwhile. Formula 50
