Pimp and Crimp This
So I have to hand it to the guys over at Pimpinandcrimpin.com, I think they’ve been doing a great job on the blog recently, coming up with some genuinely funny stuff that’s had me laugh out loud more than once. I’d probably get some weird looks from my coworkers, if I had any. Here are […]
Who’ll Stop the Rain
As we enter our seventh day in a row of rain here in western Colorado, many folks are beginning to wonder, who indeed will stop this rain?

Castleton Tower Exploited For Car Commercial

In the process, I’ve discovered a number of rather scary bolts, a couple of which prompted me to think, “man, I’m glad I didn’t […]

Five Towers in Five Hours
Yep, you read that right. Five towers in five hours. So where did this Herculean feat occur? The Bridger Jacks? Castle Valley? Try the Needles of South Dakota. I got to make a quick one day visit to this incredible place with my friend Lynn while on a service trip to the Pine Ridge Indian […]
Life is Swell
Last week I was forunate enough to help out with a Colorado Rocky Mountain School climbing trip in the San Rafael Swell. It was an intro to crack climbing for most of the students, and we had a blast. For starters, the weather was perfect, other than the first day when we got snowed/graupele on […]
Bulldog Creek Dog Walk (IV WI 4+)
Hayden Carpenter and Tom Bohanon recently repeated an obscure ice climb on the south side of Mt Sopris. Given a brief mention in Jack Robert’s ice guide, Bulldog Creek Walk is described as being 100 meters of WI 4. What they found was seven pitches of ice in a remote setting that makes for one […]
