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 [...]

Hallets Peak Today I went up to the Park after work. My after work sessions are short and I typically don’t climb very well. It is nice to get out however, and the Park is so good I just can’t resist. Wednesdays I work until 3pm. It takes me about 20 minutes to drive home [...]

Nick Sherman has snagged the first ascent of “The Wildcat Project” I would guess this would be around V12, although with good conditions it may be easier. It starts with a toe hook in a hueco, and the left hand makes a huge crossover to a good edge. A couple of tension moves lead to [...]

It seems its been much too hot lately to go to Mt. Evans, so to the Park we go. The incut crimps suit the warm weather much more than the sloping, crystalline granite near Idaho Springs. I will not lie, however, it has been extremely hot and the mosquitos are almost intolerable. This hasn’t stopped [...]

Last Saturday I went up to Upper Chaos with Brian Capps. I was psyched on Eternia V11. There are only a couple problems V12 or harder that I haven’t done yet in Upper Chaos. One of which is Leviathan Style, which has gone unrepeated since a hold broke. The other is Jade, Daniel’s new V15. [...]

Here’s some video of a popular problem from Chaos Canyon, Gang Bang Arete V8. It’s usually one of the first problems people try when they go up to the Park. Put up by Dave Graham in 2000, it has a reputation for being hard and tricky. Its been flashed by a few, campused by many, [...]

I’m sorry for the lack of updates. We are in the process of purchasing a new computer. I have been getting out a lot and I have a bunch of videos and pictures. Look for them Monday morning.
