Skyrocket Creek Ascent – right fork

Friday, August 15th, 2008

Jason on ChossThis past week we had a failed attempt at the right side of the Skyrocket Creek Drainage.  I had previously ascended (and descended) the left fork (5th class, 1,000m) which was possibly the first ascent and descent.  You can read about our attempt here: http://hypoxiagym.com/?p=252

Amphitheater – Ouray

Friday, August 15th, 2008

The Amphitheatre, OurayA couple weeks ago, Alan Cook and I put up a new route - Extended Crossfit Workout Route #666 (5.7 R/X, 1,000m) - through the Amphitheatre.  You can read about it and see pictures here: http://hypoxiagym.com/?p=19

“The Amphitheatre is a large cirque just south of Ouray. It makes for a large steep fortress of spires, cliffs and canyons that rise for about 3,000 ft. This is not a place for rock climbing, but mountaineering adventures.”
