Contrary to popular wisdom, Josh shines in May. The crowds are gone - weather (in the shade) perfect - winds nominal and New Route Season - OPEN! Most regulars know about Copenhagen Wall and it's classic routes - Quantum Jump and Heavy Mettle. Now you can add three new fun routes to the tally :

Skoal 10a ** 5 bolts just right of Heavy Water

Dirty Bomb 11b *** 6 bolts over a bulge left of It Satisfies

Butterflies Are Free 10b/c ** 5 bolts 20 ft. left of Dirty Bomb

Here's That Other Famous Guidebook Author on the Dirty Bomb :

P.S. you won't find these in Vogels' new guide.

Cool pics and some GREAT climbs, no doubt. Great location, way up high, with a great view of the valley below. You guys ROCK;....old guys kick BUTT! ........ Don't forget The Limpy Grandma ( 5.8 ......3 or 4 bolts to a bolted anchor)...just right of the Copenhagen Wall;.on a little black pointed formation..a little-known route that deserves some repect;.....it's in the new Vogel J. T. West, but not the "Old "Vogel Book......just something to add to the stew......

"Neil Youngs' long lost brother."

That's one of the funniest quotes I've seen on here in a long time, Al. I never thought of Don that way, but it's a perfect description. Now all we need is a photo of him with his glasses low on his nose, peering over them, trying to read something. Don is one of the very nicest people I've met in 24 years of climbing.

Scooped again! I think Gordex and I were looking at this wall just a few months ago thinking, hmmmmm...

Ya Snooze, ya lose!

They look good Al, can't wait to try them.

Yo Todd - had to rethink my rating on Dirty Bomb after getting on one of your routes (remember?) that was recently downrated from 11b to 10d in the new Vogel guide. WTF over :

Don is still runnin the Ramones pageboy doo !

Hey Al: Grey Cell Green looks better (maybe even harder) by reversing and shamlessly tilting the photo, but it still is no 11b. Particulalry, if an old, weak, has-been like me can still do it.

That Copenhagen Wall route looks nice.
