Too Old Men

It should be known that I am adding this route description as historical data, but for safety reasons, it should be noted that this route was installed in 1983 using ¼ inch buttonheads, Star nails, and Leeper hangers. Therefore it should not be climbed until the hardware is upgraded. If someone beats me to it, the FFA team would like a one-for one replacement without the addition of extra bolts or belays to preserve the original style of the first ascent. Once this is accomplished, I will update this section. Thank you.

As described by Peter Williams many years ago in a memo to Ken Trout for his South Platte guidebook, this was the first climb of the day. Three bolts were placed on the second pitch, including one two bolt hanging belay, and all bolts were placed from free stances. There are no bolts on the third pitch (therefore I chose the X rating) with easier but unprotected face climbing. The length and ratings of pitches are approximate. See the original topo.

From the topo photo: this wall is located approximately 1/2 mile WNW of the "Shafthouse", above the west side of Lost Creek.
