Ascents in Colorado by Lee Cujes having sport-cpr or ascent-date

My first and probably only ever 5.13 onsight at Rifle. Stoked.

Heeeey, happy days! A Moonboard! An overhanging arete Moonboard.

Onsight! Good read and good fight - super happy.

Definitely had to work for it. The top crux is ... well, I won't ruin it. But you better stretch your groin.

Cleaned up after failed OS attempt last year. Felt very hard! OS from bolt 5 to the top. [2]

Came together really well. Excellent power endurance rig. [3]

Of course I go for the one roof with a kneebar.

My highest rated route of this trip. Epic top corner involving every trick. Super good.

Had to drop the clutch a bit at the top. Yeeeesh!

New mega extension with awesome flake feature. A very full 45m long.

Sent first try today in the midst of huge rainstorm. The top slab somehow stayed mostly dry, except the top 4 holds. I was bricking it. [3]

This actually felt harder than Fapanese. Pretty solid for the grade, especially down low - techy and balancy.

Onsight but only just. Crazy leaning weirdness. Jetlagged AF.

I mistakenly started up Family Jewels and linked into the rest of this which made it harder apparently.

Steep, huge holds, get the right sequence turning the roof or it's "return to sender".

A bit polished but with good reason. Classic!

Runout and intricate. Not the best one to do jetlagged.

Went pretty well second go. [2]

Cool snatchy climbing. [2]

To the top. But at least 3 moves I didn't manage to do including the low dyno to the sika hold (crux move for sure), and the weird top corner/slab transition. A very cool endurance monster, with none of the kneebar rests you may expect.

Proj shopping. Bolt to bolted, all moves bar one at the painful slot/fingerlock move at the top of the scoop.

One intricate bit up high. Lots of stemming.

Pretty punchy, cool.

Takedown second try - big jumpy moves, very fun Moonboarding.

Easy if you like steep jug pulling.

Loooooooooong! Well worth doing if you like some length in your life.

Hard in the corner, was almost outta there.

Bolt to bolt burn to the top. "The top? Nobody goes to the top, except on the send!"

Bolt to bolt to suss it.

Proj shopping. Thought I was on Der Pure. An undercling in the low crux boulder started to crumble on me so I called it.

The "ankle breaker" extension.

Couple of awkward sections but a good project at this grade. In the top-5 most polished routes in the canyon.

Shorty #1

Shorty #2

Made ascent for benefit glorious nation of Kazakhstan.

Ha! Thought this was an onsight until I went to log it. That ship sailed in 2010.

Repeat.

Did one OS attempt on this which quickly turned into a bolt-to-bolt battle to the top. Would be a great project. Nearly all sidepulls and pinches with wild moves up the top arete.

To the crux on the onsight.

Had a foot pop off the glassy ramp on the crux.

Proj shopping. Couldn't do the first hard bit, couldn't do the second hard bit. Weird. Bailed!

The weird crux through the roof/corner took some figuring out.

After arriving at 7pm on our first day.

Leany.

Actually very nearly fell on this.

Pressure! Last day at Rifle. Almost sent with the wrong beta. Thanks to Jason for setting me straight! [5]

Misread the onsight up the top.

Attempted end of last day onsight - fell right on the top. Excellent route though, one to come back for.

Clean to 7th bolt, in the corner system, just shy of the crux. Stout!
