Going for the Anchors

Going for the Anchors

Wunderkind Sierra on The Fabulous Flying Carrs Route at Table Mountain near Golden, Colorado. The guide book has it listed as an 11a, but it felt much harder than that. If you stay on the face and not bail off to the right, I thought it was about 11c.

I was up there on Sunday.

I did that route a few months ago and didn't really think much of it. I did do the 10d varation that went to the right instead of the left of the 11a. What good routes do you like up at Table?

My faves so far (I haven't been there a lot) are Priests, Politians, and Body Bags, Good Man Dan, Big Dihedral, The John Roskelly Show, and Fast Boat To China.

Sunday was my first time at Table Mountain. And we didn't really have a guide book, so we didn't know what routes we were on. That evening, I went online to figure out what the rating of this route was, and was pretty shocked to find it rated as an 11a. Felt much harder than an 11a.

And she did make it to the anchors. She is above the crux section, just a throw off to the right to pull yourself up to an awesome ledge, from which you can clip the anchors with ease.

My fave there is Deck Chairs on the Titanic. It's rated 9+, but i think it's more 10a when clean, and 10c/d when covered in chalk like it is now.
Cheers!
