5.5 Mad Hatter's Tea Party Trad 140m Good
FFA. I think this is the first technical climb on Cabizon. A few 5.5 moves, a lot of consistant 5.3-5.4. We hope to do some more there. Camping out the night before was great

 
Wed 21st Sep 2005 - Sandia Mountain
East Sentinal
5.5 Jimminy Chimminy Top rope 30m Don't Bother
If you are fat don't try this one. Kind of dusty with curly dried up lichens.

Wed 6th Jul 2005 - El Rito
El Rito Trad
5.5 Papas Fritas Trad 56m Good
Seconded Fritz. A route to avoid the 3rd class scramble just above the 1st pitch of the Guillotine. Bring a 60 meter rope.

 
Tue 28th Jun 2005 - Sandia Mountain
The Thumb
5.5 Northwest Ridge Trad 490m Good
It was a good exercise in route finding, glorious views. It's great to sit at belay and watch people way below walking down a path between your toes. Actually just 5 1/2 leads of fifth class. The rest is fourth and third

 
Fri 22nd Apr 2005 - Enchanted Rock
Orange Peel Area
5.5 Jack Knife Trad 20m Good
On both Jack Knife and Cave Crack I had to jam down on the bunion on the bottom of my foot. Can't remember the climb much, just the pain.

 
Tue 29th Jun 2004 - El Rito
El Rito Trad

led 3 variations '92 and '04; most or all exited left of actual route.

 
Wed 6th Aug 1997 - Sangre de Cristo Mountains

Chimney, a bit brushy and a bit dirty.

 
Thu 10th Oct 1963 - Fort Collins
Two Bar Seven Ranch
5.5 Bramble Scramble Trad 18m Average
Did trad lead but second pulled all pitons out with fingers, meaning I had no protection. This means it was a de-facto free solo (opinion of my climbing friends).

 
Thu 18th Oct 1962 - Fort Collins
Two Bar Seven Ranch
5.5 Bramble Scramble Trad 18m Average
First significant climb. There was a stem section at the top (First Climb was Walt's Wall, but the grade doesn't match current ratings so I can't locate which climb it was.)
