| Carte Blanche (8a) | Thanks to Andrew Bisharat for hiking all the way up the hill with me. Not sure about the grade, since AB found a 1 move alternative to my super-cool 6 move crux downclimb/traverse sequence. The AB move seemed pretty dang hard though, unless you have the hip flexibility of a girl and wingspan of a guy, which AB does. Unique! |

| House of Cards (7c) | The bomb! In a good way. The scale quality and angle of a big Bauhaus 13+ but a number grade easier and in an alpine setting. Jeff Achey classic! |

| Safety First (7a) | Amazing multipitch route. Two 35 meter pitches: 10c, 11c/d. Sporty Jeff Achey bolting for spice! Best sport 11 on the Western Slope? ... If you like slabs, long long slabs, then yes. Some of the most amazing gold and green lichens -- limeston that looks like Eldo. |
