Nickys/Billiards in Estes Park

Andy Raether climbing Psychatomic 5.12d in the Monestary, Colorado. Summer, '07

On our way to Notchtop mountain.

This is my garage. Solon, Iowa doesn't have a lot of rock around. I improvise...

Just a different view of the roof section. The bike is for size reference.

Yet another pic of my garage. I just added a fist crack, on the left. The right crack is a handjam. Great fun.

My newest addition to the home wall

Bouldering at the dam wall in Kepler S.P., near Mt. Vernon, Ia.

Climbing the most stunning route i've done. Edge of Time, Jurassic park area, RMNP

Successful boulder problem on the Suzuki boulder in RMNP. I think it was a V2, but we weren't sure if we were on the right problem. It was beautiful.

Bouldering at Pallisades Kepler S.P. I'm not sure which route this is; the guide book is way fuzzy. any suggestions? I'd call it a V1 cuz of the height and weird top out, but thats just me.

Fun problem at B.E.M. that took me maybe 5-7 goes. The people I was with said it was graded soft-like it should be a 4. I dunno, it is a very fun problem.

I found this to be a bit tricky. There are a couple of "bump" holds on your way to the good stuff at the top, but I was just too wiped out to get there. I used a heel hook that seemed to work very well for some stability.

The latest additions...

This is the finished product. I changed the small roof into a 25 deg wall. I also took down all of the holds and just put up problems, color coded. So far I have 35 problems ranging from 1-5. (using The Spot Gyms system) I also took off the campus board, cuz it was just homemade and kept tearing the piss out of my fingers. Cheers
