With Isa spending the winter in Europe I ended up soloing a bit more than i have in the last few years.. Checked out Jeffs slide for the first time today as I had a very late start and there was sh#t ton of snow in the notch so my usual loop was questionable. The easy way up the lsft side looked a bit tame and annoying with all that snow and crud so i found a more interesting way up the middle. ice was very funky with a lot of air layers the snow before the cave was funky but adhered well enough to not slide. leaveing the cave was some real climbing for a bit on super funky airated ice. no rap nessicary. easy walk off back to my skis. Ragnarock looks really good!

Too bad road cuts don't count ;) Bunch of Fa's this afternoon at a spot that I first climbed 30 years ago. last summer they blasted all the rock and land scaped it. hidous waste of our tax dollars as the road is still the same number of lanes with the same shoulder. they did make the climbs a bit taller and completly different. Not as steep as they used to be but more lines and pretty decent height.

I am sure it's been done once or twice but probably not lead by a ton of 16 year olds. The boulder in j tree looks awesome. I love crack boulder problems.

Tradman, those photos remind me of a 'hike' I dragged my parents and brother out on years ago when I was visiting from out west. We were bouldering in the notch and wanted to hike somewhere. We scrambled up the big gully to the top, assuming that we'd find a trail headed toward Mansfield. Wrong. We found a bunch of tat on the trees at the top and trailless krumholtz instead. Needless to say, it was an interesting downclimb, thought sure my mom was going to rag doll down the gully. Thankfully, it all ended without incident. Need to get back this summer for some more bouldering.

Got out to the South Platte for a three day weekend with my older brother. We hit up 4 or 5 different areas. None of which I had climbed at.

My brother called it the campground crag or route. It is right above the campground as you walking through to get to Devil's Head. He said he had done another of the routes as well.
They are possibly in the Devil's Head book.

BC I am surprised that you have not been as it seems right up your alley. Lots of hands and wide cracks that are totally splitter. Lots of crags and rocks. Great free camping all over.
I think I found a link to it. https://www.mountainproject.com/v/colder-than-hell/110563624
