This fall I have scraped my previous plans due to lack of time outside. I have decided to put all of my effort into the Automator V13. The Automator was put up in 2000 by Dave Graham. It has 11 ascents to my knowledge. The crux move revolves around a very hard move off of [...]

Saturday I felt like it was time to get serious about trying hard problems again and my first objective was to go up and finish off Wildcat V12. I had worked out all the moves over several days, always seeming to end up there at the end of the day. This time I wanted to [...]

Sunday I was tired from all the hiking the day before so I got a late start to Upper Chaos. I am just starting to get back into shape and I was psyched for Don’t Get Too Greedy V13 and Wildcat V12. First off was DGTG. I think this is a very classic problem. Possibly [...]

The other day Olson and I marched up to the Green 45 AKA Jade, to check out some of the new problems in the Area. Earlier, I reported that Nick Sherman had done the FA of Wildcat on the backside of Jade. This has been repeated now several times and it seems the consensus is [...]

Kelly McBride of Ft. Collins continues to tear it up! She just made the 6th female ascent of The Kind Traverse V11 at Emerald Lake in RMNP. The Kind Traverse starts on a very obvious jug in middle of the wall and heads out left. Typically traverses are not that great, but the rock is [...]
