If I end up not logging alot of butt time at Keystone on saturday I'll want to climb somewhere.
Skibby, Im going to pm you later. A 14'er sounds pretty damn cool for sunday. I was hoping to save La Plata for a Ellingwood Ridge weekend. I could be talked into it though.

I would think that the standard route up LaPlate with some minor avy changes would be more than enough of a winter climb. It's a very long day depending on conditions. Ellingwood Ridge in the winter, I personally wouldn't think so as this is a demanding summer's climb. Very few people attempt that in the winter. Good luck if you do., :wink:

Thats what I meant, I want to save La Plata for this summer. I dont want any part of that route in the winter! At least not yet :)
Thanks though.

If you guys go out there be careful; after 24 hours of avy flirting myself last weekend, I know that conditions are prime right now.

Hey the avy situation is really not that bad. It's in the middle of the charts so to speak. Good route finding and sound decision making (including a willingness to back off, if it doesn't go your way) should get you through it. Then again I've never done La plata. How is it for a descent? Unfortunately I have to help a friend move this Saturday or I might be interested. It is getting close to that spring time of year. I am planning on doing Dead Dog Coulior on Torreys (done it before, it rocks!) and another 14'er still undecided at this time.

Hey Skibs,
Unfortunately I still work on Sundays. My only BC day left this week (got out tuesday of course) is Friday. Got to help my buddy Steve move into his new pad Saturday.
James,
Sorry to hear about Brown. You'll get 'em next time around. The job is just that, a job at this point. They wouldn't call it work if it was fun. :? It's getting close to climbing season. We all are going to have to get out and do some climbing come April. I'm thinking a day of backcountry riding at Monarch Pass and a day of climbing at Shelf would be a good combo. At least for me.
The nagging injury to my wrist is feeling pretty good. I am going to try to start working out at my friends home gym next week. I'll let you know how it goes. It's either hold up fine or blow up. One or two sessions should tell me what is going to happen.

Hey everyone, I am new to the forum, but I've been around this site for a while. I was just wondering if any of you go to Paradise often? I'm there Tuesdays 11-2, Thursday nights 9-11, and weekend mornings when I'm not outside. I'd love to lend a spot or belay to new faces, so let me know if you need a partner. OBLIGATORY GRADE BRAGGING TO COME: I'm a solid 5.11 on-sight on lead and boulder around that level as well. Again, let me know if you need a partner. Thanks!

Welcome to the group. There are a few paradise people here but also a few Rock N Jamn and BRC people as well. Glad to have you aboard - look forward to meeting up with you at some point.

Are you talking about skiing it, or climbing it? I agree, climbing it was cool.

Cripes...I could likely not do Highlander with a good hand :) Waiting on a call about skiing, if it falls through then I'll probably come along for some great outdoors and belay help. Hey..haven't done Highlander at all...approach seem ok with a splint on my hand? (it's pretty protected in it)

OK, I missed getting the rental skis back to REI before 7pm, so I have to return them tomorrow morning at 10 AM. So I'll see you guys out there in CCC after that chore is done.

You guys have fun! I'll be on the Green Spur tomorrow. I haven't done much trad this winter so this is day 1 of prep for my Red Rox/Zion trip. Oh man, I can't wait. The route looks so beautiful. 58 and sunny tomorrow, low winds as well. Will be a perfect day to be out and climbing in the Front Range.

After dealing with route hogs in Boulder Canyon today and not actually being able to climb, I'll be up at Table Mountain with my youngest and some of the kids from my climbing team... I'm planning on a quick trad bit or two and then clipping some bolts as well.

Good for you SKibs! I had a day to myself a while back, Dec. 3. I did the same thing; except I skied up Bierstadt on my skinny touring skis and leather boots. The ride down was a bit exciting, sastrugi , but there was snow cvering the whole west face. Fun! :D

Hey Everyone,
I haven't been on this site at all for a few months now but now I am back and looking to get back into climbing. Looking to climb weekdays at CCC (I get off of work at 3pm and can be there by 3:15pm) and weekends at Eldo (I got my state park pass now as well). Hey bustinmins (and others) are you guys still climbing Wed nights at R&J North? Tim, Kyle, I would be up for climbing with you guys again anytime. Lastly, does anyone on this site or know anyone that climbs at the Point Athletic Club? I live right next door and I can get a montly membership for $40 and use the gym and the wall but I was wondering if anyone actually uses the wall.

It's kinda far out but I wanted to see if there was any interest cuz these trips because it will take a bit of planning, but Im wondering if anyone is interested in hitting the Eolus and Wilson groups in the San Juans?
Id like to do one trip early summer and the other late summer. The peaks are alittle bad ass. I think the easiest route is class 3.
These are the last six peaks I have to do in the San Juans.

The 14ers in Chicago Basin have a reputation for more 'bark than bite'. If the weather is fine and the routes are in reasonable condition, these peaks are fun.
I've climbed on both snow and rock in the Basin and even threw in the NE ridge direct of Eolus and it was a blast. Coming down off of Eolus is no fun as it's slippery in many spots.
The 'sidewalk in the sky' or something like that is totally overrated. It's wide and solid.
It's a great area and be careful re: the marmots in the basin. They will chew up anything with sweat on it including tents.
Have a great trip!
