Lumpy Ridge, Jurassic Park, Bucksnort Slab

June 10 - 11, 2017
Rocky Mountain National Park
South Platte Area

Headed out for a weekend of crack climbing and picked Lumpy Ridge. We climbed the 4 pitch classic Pear Buttress (5.8) in the book area of Lumpy Ridge and the first pitch (5.8) of Fat City.





















We then headed over to Jurassic Park near Lily Lake for an ascent of the ultra classic photo op route, Edge of Time (5.9) and two other 5.9 routes just to the left.
























Since we were on a classics mission for the weekend, we ended up on bucksnort slabs and climbed Classic Dihedral (5.7).
