new routes in the south platte

My friend and accomplice Josh ganged up for a quick mission into Cowboy Creek the home of our 2 year effort to establish some of the south platte's finer climbing. We got shot down on our main objective a tall free standing tower accessed by a 200 3-4-5 camalot splitter, so who just put up two perfect cracks near by... what a shame.. check out the photos...

this was pre climbing routine which ended up going way way to far... that bottle of whisky josh is clutching was emptied, to the last drop.

the tools of the trade, you know the route is going to be a bitch if you need at least 5 number 4 camalots

this is looking up at the second pitch of our intended tower route, it look short in the photo but that is a single 175 foot splitter. BOOM.

our newest addition, a perfect 5.10a finger crack, the seam closes at the top leading to a adventurous runout to the top. so sweet. As for a name...  how about "the green beam" 5.10a

the route below is a perfect but short fist crack to offwidth to pain and suffering death crack... we were pansy's and just TR'ed this one till next time.
