5 out of 5 stars First Ascent

Had a rope hanging on this line for 14 years... forgot it until I was too far from PHX to come back! Amazed that no one had snaked the lines, I came back with my lovely wife Cindy to knock out four projects in five weeks, culminating with this line. 5.8 holds, 5.9 pump and angles... old school runout at the top... set your own grade.

5 out of 5 stars Finished Business

This line was a tribute to my friend and mentor, Mike Fisher. Established ground-up and drilled from stances, the last (4th) bolt was added after the FA went all the way to the top with only the first three bolts.

4 out of 5 stars A Christmas Day FA!

Arrived in the canyon to clouds, gusty 30 mph north winds, and temps in the low 30s F. Shouldered packs and bent to the wind and humped down to the shelter of the Troll Hut, inhaled some motivation, set anchors and rap-bolted this beauty in about an hour. Rested, waited for any hint of sun (in vain) and finally sent the FA in Gypsy Conditions; clouds and snow, wind and remote location.

5 out of 5 stars First Ascent

A fun little line that has been staring me in the face since Rob B and I hand-drilled this thing way back in 98. Now there's a quick, easy way to set the TR for both lines, or to lower to the base of Sendero D'oro.

5 out of 5 stars What a blast!

Started by avoiding the chimney and climbing the variation slab around the corner to the right... about 5.6 and fun! Want to go back and TR the routes below both rappells... once you've got the rope there, why deny yourself?

Still a little dirty, but a good little line.

5 out of 5 stars Another great Entrance Wall route

This one would make a fine little lead for the experienced tradder. Good moves on sometimes sandy holds. Sweet!

4 out of 5 stars Christmas Eve at Franklin

Cold... brutally cold... ice hanging down and flling on us while we climbed in shoes too cold to really feel anything. Much more fun line in the summer... kudos to Mike Fisher for leading what was essentially a MI1 with trad gear.
