Jim & Barney are heading home tonight (or at least to the airport hotel). Before they go, we decided to head to Boulder Canyon to do some climbing they might like.
We headed to Cob Wall - our goal was Northwest Face (5.8+). The approach required some boulder hopping - at least for the guys. I walked through the creek to avoid a slippery-rock face-plant.
We hiked up the grueling 3 minute approach to the base of the climb. Like a train, we ascended the mighty Cob Rock - Dave, then Jim, the Barney and finally like a caboose, up I came.
After scrambling back to the base, Dave and I climbed some 10b thin face and crack to the left of the original route. Then rapped down.
The guys were ready for some people watching and beer on the mall. So off to Pearl Street for some pizza and drinks. We failed to get any photos on the mall, but did grab some while we were climbing.
