Begehungen in The Dog House

What. A. Classic. Best climb I've attempted in CO so far! Permadraw-ed too. Two working attempts. Starts of with an easy slab, followed by the business: steep big, original moves on good holds take you to the roof, which consists in a V5 crimpy boulder problem followed by a V3 mantle. Can't wait to get back on!

Had nobody to climb with, and the forecast for next week was grim, and I was leaving for 2 months after that! So I drove up by myself, not being sure how the weather was going to be, or if I would have people to climb with. Found a very friendly crew and gave this thing a shot! 3 goes, super fun route with big moves to big holds

First Colorado 12b!! Super psyched. I did not suspect I would send this after my working attempt, at which point it felt like it was going to be a multi-day project. Beta was very well executed, and this thing does not let up until the anchors

Thin delicate slab to start with followed by a very cool overhang traverse on nicely textured granite. Very pumpy!

Second warm up of the day. Very cool overhanging sections with great holds!

Warm up. Very nice rock in this crag- almost RMNP bouldering rock!

Excellent meandery route that ends with a steep section with cool holds

watched too many try it to consider it onsight
