Climbed this route about 20 years ago - Tommy C listed it as one of his favorites and that was enough to get us motivated. Lots of great climbs up in that area.
Climbed this close to 30 years ago. Definitely one of the best 5:11 cracks in Colorado. A similarly great 5:11 corner crack route is the Moratorium in Yosemite. Highly recommended.
I climbed this back in 1968 with Ron Cox. That hand jam crack was exhausting for us. 3 or 4 hexes for pro. No chalk. Wearing Royal Robbins shoes. We aided the rest of it. Love that rock despite the bloody hands from jamming.
Great film. With all the closeups of liken and pumped forearms, it reminds me of Ang Lee's "Hulk". Anyway, I did it in the late '80's, looks the same, but I'm glad to see the bolts on the top pitch were replaced. At that time, they were 1/4 inch, bent and pulling out due to lightning strikes.
Loved running into you in the meadow after the lurking fear speed record! Good to see you getting after it in our backyard in Colorado. I agree that Wunschs is amazing. Let me know if you want to rope up in boulder!
Like the rest of the old timers, I climbed this about 20 years ago. I whipped shortly after coming out of the roof...so i can confirm the whips are safe :). That approach...its a leg burner.

That is awesome! Anything on his list that is climbable for us mortals is worth getting on!

Nice work! Pitch two looks incredible.
