Exhume to Consume is a single pitch sport route that also requires a few gear placements to adequately protect.

Crowbar is the best 5.7 at the Exit 38 crag.

The Beckey Route is the route of the first ascent and still the most popular route on the mountain.

The class 4 approach to the summit of El Diente Peak, Colorado's westernmost 14er.

Duress is reached from the top of Under Duress (5.8). With a 60m rope, the two can be climbed as one pitch.

The coxcomb is a very narrow and exposed ridge on the class 4 traverse between El Diente and Mt. Wilson in Colorado's San Juan Mountains.

The North Ridge on El Diente is a fun class 4 scramble that is seldom climbed because the popular 14er guidebooks do not describe it.

A short unbolted slab that is usually top roped. Will take pro to 1 in. Sometimes free soloed.

Party in your Pants is a Vantage area classic double crack that eats all the gear you want to give it.

Climbers on 3 adjacent routes keep each other entertained.

This is probably the most popular route at Mt. Erie. One pitch of pure fun. Can be led or top roped.

A short 4 bolt route that can also be top roped.

The resident flock of pigeons occasionally leave little gifts on the routes, but make an interesting backdrop for a butt shot.
