V15 | Paint it Black
As Woods put it: The boulder is a giant 65 degree overhanging ships prow, which jolts out of the hillside. There is just enough room for a landing to work the crux moves. If you pitch from the top, you will take a 20 foot fall downhill into the river. There are 5 movements covering 15 feet of near horizontal climbing. The crux revolves around 2 high tension foot moves to a hard right foot kick over to the right side of the boulder. The first two holds are very slopey with no opposition and the upper holds are two quarter pad incut crimps. It is a good full body power test, along with extreme crimping. FA: Daniel Woods, 2012 | Rocky Mountain National Park | |||

5.15b | ★★★ Fight Club P2
CANADAS FIRST 5.15! Which took Megos 7-8 visits to Ravens for. Easy to spot walking into the crag, as the streaked nature of the line, makes it look like a massive, silver lighting bolt, into the cliff. Extremely delicate moves off micro holds, that look like nothing but dimples of limestone, go up the stunning, sharp streaked prow. The extension above the Orginal Prow Project that was bolted by Peter Arbic. Sonnie Trotter added 10 bolts creating Alex Megos' insane and mega steep, test piece. Another hard Boulder problem (Vhard) consisting of bad slopping dimples and tiny beyond micro-edges and a mad dash to the anchor!

5.14 - 15 | ★★★ Eleva tu Cosmos - Extensión
Esta ruta es la, “cereza del pastel” de la zona. A la simple vista impone la configuración de la misma asemejando a la clásica ruta, “Cobra Crack” localizada en Squamish, British Columbia; Canadá armada en 1981 por Peter Croft y Tami Knight a espaldas del, “Chief”. (Como dato la histórico de la ruta antes mencionada, en su momento de armada; duró 25 años sin el primer ascenso hasta que el 23 de Junio del 2006 el escalador, Sonnie Trotter liberó esta ruta de 40mts después de 3 años de trabajo). https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EaP-_N3h4lY Después de haber escalado la primera sección de, “Eleva tu Cosmos”; la extensión de esta misma te lleva por algunos 10 mts. con un ángulo de alrededor de 25°con una micro fisura la cual no promete ningún agarre en su proximidad junto con una pared liza y resbalosa a sus alrededores lo cual es muy probable que ni la mejor suela pueda lograrla fricción adecuada para soportar la tensión del escalador. Se rumora que pudiese ser el siguiente nivel de dificultad en el país de México que hoy por hoy; todavía no se ha aperturado alguna ruta con este probable grado. Además, después de haber escalado la primera sección, el estilo de escalada con fisura es uno que pocos dominan pero no por eso significa que sea imposible de realizar. Vengan, corran la voz e intenten esta ruta que de seguro promete no ser nada fácil pero si te asegurará momentos inmensos de felicidad. Set: GarrafaEncisoV | 8 | Ixcatan | ||
