JayB Posted July 10, 2002 Share Posted July 10, 2002 Outer Space is the shiznit (although the Remorse start is pretty marginal IMO). The only route that I've been on that rivals it (and possibly beats it) is the Center Route on the Cynical Pinnacle out in the South Platte - but it's a close call. Votes for the best III 5.10 in the State? Any suggestions appreciated... [ 07-09-2002, 08:16 PM: Message edited by: JayB ] Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dennis_Harmon Posted July 10, 2002 Share Posted July 10, 2002 Jay B, Damn! A voice from the past writing about the Center Route on Cynical Pinnacle... good route! Did you climb Turf Speader too? I never did get up the final tower pitch on that thing. Dennis Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mattp Posted July 10, 2002 Share Posted July 10, 2002 JayB - Though the Remorse start begins with some bushes and some people find the loose flake used to protect the traverse somewhat eerie, I find those initial pitches more fun than the original Outer Space start. I think you made a good choice to go that way. For an all around fantastic 5.10, try Davis Holland/Lovin Arms. -Matt Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dennis The crack on the face above Turf Spreader looked amazing, but from what I can recall it was protected by a 5.11OW roof below. We just stopped, took a look, shook our heads and moved on. Also - thanks to everyone for the suggestions. Where's this Davis Holland Crack at? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dennis_Harmon Posted July 11, 2002 Share Posted July 11, 2002 Yea, JayB, most mortals aid the roof but the rest is great. Good one to do if you ever get back there. Ya gotta love Colorado. Dennis Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Did a new dirt route on scw last weekend...very good dirty lieback to a dirt/lichen encrusted chimney that closes up to smaller than head size before being covered by a giant flake (solid) After the flake amongst a smattering of typical sc chickenheads the chim finished with a fist crack. to the top of the tower is easy cracks. Location far right near FS wilderness boundary marker. BTW the concensus after all four of us reached the top. 5.9ish 3.5stars pro4" Tempting Goulie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
