Climbing Notes

Clear Creek Canyon

Playin' Hooky 5.9, 3 pitches

Climbed upper pitch and then one to the right as well. Short pitches and easy for 5.9

Draws and few runners

Black Gold 5.7, 3 pitches - fun, easy and better than Playin Hooky

Devil's Head

Time Stands Still 10a, 7 pitches

Bottom half is slab. .10 pitch is only 1 move of .10a past roof. Upper half of route is better. Route is over bolted. Last pitch is best at .10a. Rope got stuck on first rappel. 

Single 70 gets you off but it's close. Draws and runners.

Sheep's Nose 

Lamb's Prey 5.9, 5 pitches

Climbed first pitch too far right and passed old angle bolt on 5.10 slab. Had hard time getting to belay for p2. Should have climbed more left on p1 to base of 3" crack rather than directly under crack forming large roof. 

All pitches were pretty good and need to go back and climb route again. Some runout 5.7 and lots of interesting gear placements. Description says 3 pitons present on p3, only found 1 and used for belay backup. 

Cams .1-3, doubles .4 - 2, single 3. Full set of stoppers including smallest ones.

Turkey Rock

Turkey shoot and J crack variation to 5.9 hand crack

Double set cams plus 1 #4 and #5 for turkey shoot. Cams to 3” for J crack variation 

Eldorado Canyon

Rewritten + Rebuffs Arete - Zot start 5.8, 6 pitches

Calypso, 5.6

With Ike and Nicole

Double set cams plus stoppers. Lots of small gear placements.

Garden of the Gods

Anaconda 5.10 - pitch 1

Cams .2-#2. Save .2 for pin scar before chains + draws

Draws only. Very sequential.
