Sun 5th Nov 2006 - Sandia Mountain
Techweeny Buttress
5.8 Crackula Trad 50m Very Good
My rope is only about 145' long now, so we synchro-climbed part of the route. Fritz led 90% of it. He did a great job on a route that leant itself to complex climbing styles.

 
Wed 25th Oct 2006 - Cactus Heaven
Eldorado Wilderness East Line Camp
5.8 High Noon, Greenhorn Variation Top rope 9m Average
Delicate whisps of rock on the face indicate ours was the first ascent. Fritz did it in better form than I. Because of the friability of the sandstone, the climb should be toproped, not lead climbed.

 
5.7 Back in the Saddle Top rope 8m Don't Bother
There are some good moves on this route, but you have to flip the rope 2 times (the second flip is a pain) and rock on part of the route is pretty friable (loose).

 
Wed 18th Oct 2006 - Rat's Peak
5.5 Little White Mice Top rope 15m Average
I'ts over before you realize it.

 
5.6 Muskrat Ramble Top rope 14m Very Good
It's just fun crusing up this one, and you can use a smorgasboard of different moves.

 
5.7 Dirty Stinking Rats Top rope 15m Good
Sat 2nd Sep 2006 - Sandia Mountain
Hole in the Wall
5.8 Miss Piggy Alpine 73m Very Good
Led the bottom pitch and toproped the top pitch a coupla months ago. Then I seconded it with Carl D. I'm starting to grock the possibilities on the crux moves on the first pitch.

 
Wed 2nd Aug 2006 - Sandia Mountain
Estrellita
5.7 Beat Around the Bush Trad 30m Average
After taking a 5.8 lead it was time to relax, i thought, and toproped this one. This climb didn't seem much easier than the one i just did.

 
5.8 Estrellita Trad 30m Mega Classic
Great climb, yahoo! Just what i needed to get me out of a funk i was in. No big muscle moves needed.

 
Tue 18th Jul 2006 - Sandia Mountain
Hole in the Wall
5.8 Kermit the Frog Trad 73m Average
FFA. Takes off of Miss Piggy. Would be better (good) if someone would ascend it with a wire brush (for the lichens) and small plant trimmers.

 
Sun 4th Jun 2006 - Las Conchas
Roadside Attraction
5.7 Crucible Sport 20m Very Good
Nice variety of moves on a sport climb. Did it twice. New guidebook overrates it a bit (5.8). Don't believe it.

 
Wed 24th May 2006 - Las Conchas
Cattle Call Wall
5.8 Unkown (next to Ow Now) Trad 11m Average
Kind of a grunt for a short climb. Did twice.

 
Wed 17th May 2006 - San Juan Basin Volcanic Necks
Cabezon Peak
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 10th May 2006 - Sandia Mountain
Hole in the Wall
5.7 Redeemer (5.7 variation) Trad 91m Don't Bother
Route alternates between loose, blocky stuff and good rock.

 
Wed 3rd May 2006 - El Rito
El Rito Trad
5.8 Shoes for Industry Trad 30m Average
We were greeted by a small rattlesnake at the start of the climb. Fritz moved him and we climbed. I managed to skirt the overhang on lead, but Fritz made it over on second.
