This was the easy part...

Nice hanging on Markguycan!

tight...

We made the top as the storms rolled in. What a great climb.

Rapping off you can see both sides of the ledge/shoulder.

The tower begins about 1/3 way up the wall. Start to the left along main wall. An easy short approach pitch (rope up at ledge below chimney) to a tree/sling. Fourth class up and right to the shoulder/ledge. Belay at tree.

Putting in the first bolt to rap off this tower located in West Clear Creek.

Starts overhanging then into the pod and it's on from there. Go left to easier ground. You could go right but it looked dirty.

Narrow tower

Ran into some friends that had never climbed just after we did the FA. Must be a six.

Pitch one with a neighboring team on an alt start. Both routes finish the same; fortunately, that dude was fast.

The route we did, Via de Tots, climbs the left side of the wall. Every afternoon the clouds move in. It felt nice in the warm sun.

On the third pitch I went left up a "classic" crack instead of a grassy 4th class looking thing. I definitely went the wrong way and ran it out a bit.

Crux 4th pitch. Spacey bolts and square cut corners of the canalones made me glad to follow it.

I'm following the ninth pitch; the canalones are visible below.

I just finished pitch 5; harder and scarier than it looks. The traverse across would have been better if we had moved the belay onto the ledge.

Getting a nearly alpine start. We began just behind me where the shrubs meet the ground. Wonderfully steep slab, cracks, canalones, dihedrals, etc. Which is why it got its name, "The Everything Route"

We camped at the bottom of the south face.

Tasmanian Devil is a new route by Jake Dayley. We did the third ascent but it awaits an onsight.

Second pitch of Tasmanian Devil 5.10+ requires stamina and a variety of technique.

This line is great. Nice rock and good protection. It gets wide but at the roof it becomes a jug haul.

We are standing above a long slab to the ground. The pro is thin and on soft rock. Needs a bolt.

The climbing is fun and thoughtful and protection ok. We cleaned above and it may be a bit dusty.

The crack was a bit dusty but he came through ok.
