Techweeny Buttress | ||||||
5.8 | ★★ Crackula | 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.

Eldorado Wilderness East Line Camp | ||||||
5.8 | High Noon, Greenhorn Variation | 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 | 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 | 15m | Average | |||
I'ts over before you realize it.
|
||||||
5.6 | ★ Muskrat Ramble | 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 | 15m | ★ Good | |||
Sat 2nd Sep 2006 - Sandia Mountain | ||||||
Hole in the Wall | ||||||
5.8 | ★★ Miss Piggy | 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.

Estrellita | ||||||
5.7 | ★ Beat Around the Bush | 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 | 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.

Hole in the Wall | ||||||
5.8 | FA Kermit the Frog | 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 | 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) | 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 | FA ★ Mad Hatter's Tea Party | 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) | 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 | 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.
