Guidebook Teaser #2

Another great crag that will be in the new guidebook is up the Frying Pan valley. Many folks already know about it, and can attest to how good and unique the climbing is. Here’s a shot from an FA that was done yesterday. In the morning we were climbing without shirts on, today its snowing in Carbondale, and it’s not even November yet. Could be time to retreat to the desert sooner than normal.

    BIG thanks to the developers of this place: BJ, Jeff, Duane, Matt, & all the others who make routes like this available for the rest of us. Dictating the use of natural gear where possible strikes a perfect balance for this area.
