Saturday I took a study break and hiked out to Lincoln Lake for the first time this year. I was surprised at how little snow there was and how many people were there. With the road construction in the Park this summer, it seems to be the destination of choice for many climbers. Even with [...]

Now that Endovalley is far too warm, the development front has shifted to Lincoln Lake. Although Chaos Canyon is far lower in elevation than Lincoln Lake, it is inundated with snow, and many of the most popular problems are still buried. It’s unfortunate because there are many incredible projects still to be climbed in Chaos [...]

Friday I went to Lincoln Lake with Chad Greedy, Luke Parady, George Capps and others. It was another great day in the mountains. We all went to work on Phobos V12, a new steep problem Dave Graham put up right before he left town for the trade show. The others had been working on it [...]

Yesterday was another great day at Lincoln Lake, aka Wolverine Land. The weather was great all evening and I was there with an awesome crew. I spent most of my time climbing and not taking pictures, but I snapped a few. Brion Voges made the first ascent of the slab problem, with ridiculous beta. He [...]

I had a great session at Mt. Evans on Saturday. A huge crew was there and the conditions were good. A group of Southerners including Jon Glassberg, Jimmy Webb, Nate Draughn and Brion Voges climbed several classics, but local boy Paul Robinson earned the employee of the day with his send of The Big Worm [...]

In 2003 nothing at Mt. Evans more difficult than V9 had been climbed. While there were many obvious and hard projects there, one stood head and shoulders above the rest. Ben Scott and I had always referred to it as “The Lime Wall Project”. This was a stunning and pure line of difficult climbing up [...]

The past few years I have spent the majority of my free time climbing in Chaos Canyon. Although having a full time job has severely limited my climbing this summer I try to get out as much as I can. Having done several great problems up in the Park I thought I would turn my [...]

Echo Lake Saturday was a weird and epic day. My friend Brian Capps and I decided to avoid the humidity and the crowds and head up above the treeline. The weather was threatening but we pressed on. Ten dollars gets you up the Mt. Evans road to Summit Lake 12,830ft. From there the trail drops [...]
