I highly recommend this route. The approach is a bit long (exact same approach as for Resolution Arete) but the route is worth it. It is a long one, but there is zero commitment involved as the descent is down the way you climb... The route starts in a dark, narrow gully just to the right of the start of Resolution Arete. Do not get discouraged by the first pitch, which is really bad (slippery red rock covered in moss) but not too hard. The second pitch is beautiful and it is the crux of the route: thin finger crack and face moves on very steep gray rock. The rest of the route continues straight up to the top of the buttress, following intermittent cracks and plated faces. The pro is always good and a mix of trad and bolted. All belay anchors are bomber new bolts. The climbing is not too sustained (feels like a lot of 5.9ish stuff to me), but it is of course a long route... The descent is as straightforward as they come: rap straight down to your packs. A great day! Once you've done this, you'll know the apporach already so you'll want to go back up another day for Resolution Arete.

Kudos to Jorge and Mike for the vision and effort required to put up this route! I thought this route was stellar and would also highly recommend it. We took a rather skeletal rack and this proved a bit scary on the long "S-crack" pitch which has no bolts at all.
The top three pitches have an amazing position as the face steepens. It is possible to see the very base of the climb from the top pitch.
We continued up Res Arete for "full value" and the contrast between the routes hit us like a sledgehammer. Although lower in grade, we were thrashing up wide cracks, through bushes and freaking out at the loose rock, not to mention the death march descent down First Creek racing the setting sun.
As a historical note, when you start the route, look for the ancient bolt off to the left (it's about 10' left and slightly up from the "real" first bolt, and has an aluminum hangar). This bolt was apparently placed by Joe Herbst in the 70's during a retreat from an early attempt on the Aeolian Wall.

I agree with George that this is an amazing route. It felt like the first 7 pitches of Eagle Dance except 60% longer and with a lot more trad and commitment than Eagle Dance. Equal quality of rock and not a single poor quality pitch
The approach is long and a bit complex mainly in ensuring you find the correct gully. But I felt it was not as painful as other approaches (Oak creek canyon for instance). From the "pass" between Mount Wilson and the Pimple head up-hill on faint trails towards the left side of the rotten red buttress in front of you. When you reach the base of that buttress you will find a very well cairned approach to the gully. Resist the urge to go into the first gully you find, cairns show you that you should continue. When you reach the correct gully there are two large cairns at the base.
The climb up the gully has some 3-4th class scrambling that is not too bad but would get your attention on the downclimb. We found some rap slings in one spot.
The climb is not as "sporty" as we were led to believe in many of the descriptions we read. I think we used trad gear in three pitches for sure, maybe four, and a couple of them were 5.9. The S crack pitch is 100% trad and we were happy to use our #3 camalot and could have used a lot more gear. Although it is not as hard as it looks, the thing is pretty darn intimidating...
We linked the "roof pitch" with the next long 5.9 pitch. You need 16-17 draws for this. This combo is really cool and makes for one pumpy "full value" 5.9 lead.
Linking with Resolution Arete felt like the obvious thing to do. How can one come this far and not tag the summit? The descent via First Creek is arguably the worst trashing I have taken in my Red Rocks experience. According to Joanne Urioste, rapping into Oak Creek is a better option. Although my recollection of the Oak Creek thrashing is about as painful as the First creek one.
For gumbies like us it was a race against sunset. We wound up hiking out in the dark for a couple of hours but luckly, by then we were close to the mouth of the canyon. Full grade V (16 hrs car to car) if you ask me.
What an awesome experience!
Enjoy. WT

|A great, fun route that just keeps pulling you up. Having descended Mt Wilson once thru First Creek Canyon we decided to forego that "pleasure" and rap the route. The rap went very smoothly (only hung the rope up once and it pulled after a bit of tugging). We did not find this climb to be as difficult as we thought it may be. We made it to the base in 90 minutes from Oak creek parking lot. Climbed it leisurely in 10 pitches, linking 9 & 10 and 11 & 12. After 10 double 60 raps (might of been able to link 3 & 2 for 9) we made it down 8 1/2 hours after we started.Grade II or maybe III if you rap. We took 16 draws, a couple extra long slings, a set of nuts and cams to a 3 camalot minus the 2 camalot and were fine. Way too much gear for all but the 'S' crack pitch which ate pro and was memorable.

Pitch 2 was stunning, and reminded me of Urioste's Black Velvet routes.
We did the first four pitches on 13 Nov, having gotten lost above the White Rot gully on the approach -- I wasn't expecting the White Rot gully (which also can involve tunneling under a chockstone) to rejoin the main gully, and didn't know to just keep following the main gully for a while longer. Once we found the monster Ponderosa pine, the rest of the approach was obvious.
There is at least one handy rap station in the White Rot gully; two short raps would make for a pretty easy descent.
There is moss on several pitches (in the middle of the Mojave desert???), but it doesn't interfere with the climbing.
With two 60m ropes, we rapped from the top of pitch two to the ground.

Went back and did the whole route. Very nice! The upper half involved a lot of bolted face climbing, and I think this is what Joanne Urioste had in mind when she said this route has the feel of "a giant sport climb." But there are plenty of trad sections too: our rack was a set of nuts, cams to 3 inches, and 15 runners.
It took us 12 1/2 hours, car-to-car.

Enjoyed the heck out of Inti Wantana. It was like climbing chrimson chrysalis, but with a pitch of prince of darkness on p2, and didn't see anybody all day. dont let the approach scare you off. 'ain't bad.
the urioste supplement is a bit liberal with rope lengths. using my ropes, p5 is 95', p6 is 110'. the s-crack is long. p8 is 105'. rappelling p5 and 6 together is friendly with two 60s (but tie knots in the ends!). p4 and p3 might rappel together on 60m rope stretch, but you might be left hanging a few feet above the anchor. didn't try this one. you could link 3/4 and 5/6 on teh way up with a few yards of simul.
choice beta: take the crux when swinging leads. this lines you up for the only two plush belay ledges. (but consider extending your anchor under the roof, or risk broken head when leader pops a foothold on p10)
on 4/19/06, the first two pitches were in the shade (cold!) at 9:30am (shaded by res arete formation) and the upper pitches went into the shade by 1:00.
By David Stowe
Apr 20, 2006
I though the crux pitch was far more interesting and challenging than anything on Prince of Darkness. I usually find 5.10 pretty soft at Red Rocks but the crux on this was no gimee and much harder than any other pitch on the route. It was also very cold as it was in the shade and very windy.
I disagree about the previous poster with the approach. We got a little lost because the directions that I have seen everywhere are unnecessarily confusing. Even knowing the way now it is still very tiring with alot of loose stuff and alot of 4th class which tends to beat you up with a full pack. Plus there is no way I would want to do that descent in the dark, very good way to get hurt or worse. If you climb long routes at Red Rocks on a regular basis maybe it isn't so bad, but I would much rather do that horrible approach to Levitation than this one, although this one is a little shorter. I still can't see doing it in much less than 2 hours unless you are sprinting.
Great route and easy to rap with no real place to hangup a rope. We actually rapped the final 7 pitches in less than 45 minutes. After the first pitch(not fun) the rest of the route is great.

|Using a 70m rope you can link 1&2, 3&4, 5&6, 8&9, and 10&11. If you want to do this (not hard at all) bring 20 draws. We topped out via. Res. Arete, and then rappel Dogma (17 total). This is a VERY bad idea. Res. was fine, but walk off. It's a lot faster.

Hello All,
I'd like to combine this route with the Resolution Arete.
Can anyone tell me how you transition from Inti Watana to the RA?
How do you make the transition, and which pitch do you end up on after finishing IW?
Thanks for any info,

Kyle, the final anchor on Inti is just below the end of pitch 14 on RA as shown on my topo
I should probably add this info on my topo regarding where Inti comes in.
Just do a short scrambling pitch to reach the start of RA pitch 15. Or, I remember continuing and doing most of pitch 15, belaying where it says "Walk left 15m" on my topo.

This is a fantastic route. Thanks to the FA's for the work it took to put this thing together for the rest of us to enjoy!!!
For it's grade as good as any of the Red Rocks classics. The 5.10 version of crimson, levitation or dark shadows. We climbed it on 10/28 and after much piecing together of beta here's my 2 cents.
Approach/Descent-Check out ericandlucie.com there's a great overview picture and description of the approach. I would do this approach rather than the one to Levitation any day. The hike to the Wilson Pimple is flat and once you start up it's shorter with way less exposure. The traverse to the left is easy to find and there are maybe two or three 4th class bits in the White Rot gully and that's it, no more peril. You cross over into the main gully AFTER going under and then back on top of a HUGE chockstone.
KEY BETA!!! On the descent CONTINUE DOWN the main gully DON'T go back into the White Rot gully. The main gully is a MUCH better/casual descent more of the same boulder hoping. We made one short 50' repel (could be downclimded) just below the point where you come over from the White Rot gully on the approach and another (130') at the very obvious end of the gully. Both from easily accessed good trees.
The 1st pitch is now very clean and great, in no way did it detract from the route.
We took 15 draws and a single BD rack .3 thru #3 with a green and red C3 and every other nut. Neither of us are particularly bold or great climbers (inti went in good style, levitation 29 we "got up")and we both thought this to be perfect as several pitches including the S pitch are long and need gear and pitch 10 needs 13 draws.
My partner payed very close attention and here's the low down on what can be rapped together with 60m ropes no shenanigans or downcliming.
12 and 11
10 and 9
6 and 5
4 and 3
2 and 1
Maybe bring a wrench, some of the new nuts could use a turn or two.
A must do!!! Enjoy.

Got back on this route sunday 11/11 after only getting through pitch 7 last year since we got lost on the approach which took us 4 hours last time, YIKES! It probably was also slower last year since we did the climb right after doing Epi.
Anyway this year while the approach was no walk in the park it took us 2 hours and there was no getting lost. There were 4 of us so we climb in twos with a single 70M each. I wound up linking the first two pitches for a great, long 200 foot pitch with the best climbing at the very end. I also agree that the first pitch is cleaning up a bit. While it will never be anywhere near the highlight of the route it is now much cleaning and more enjoyable. We climbed everything else as single pitch until were reached the roof/bulge at the start of pitch 9, where we linked 9/10 and then 11/12. If linking 9/10 you may want to use slings instead of draws in a few spots to cut down on the drag a bit. The 11/12 linkup was alot of fun on steep rock, but I'm not sure where the 10c was as the last pitch is much easier than the pitch 2 crux. Either way a great route where the climbing goes incredibly fast after pitch 2. We did the route in 6 hours. It took 4 of us about 1 1/2 hours to rap the route.
It was allot of fun to have 4 of us up on the wall at the same time and only took us a little longer with the rapping.
Anyone who can lead hard 5.10 on bolts and is competent with gear should have a blast on this one.
Looking for the next challenge on Mt. Wilson. Has anyone out there done either Dogma or Woman of Mountain Dreams?

|You really don't need all that much gear. The the harder pitches are all bolted. Many say that you need large cams for the S Crack pitch, but there is plenty other gear. We went light and had not problems. Single set of cams up the #1 Camalot(red) and a single set of wires should be more than enough. Even if this is pushing you limit the majority of gear pitches are not very hard and there really isn't any required gear for a particular spot. If you are solid at the grade then this an excellent climb to go light and fast on.

OK. First off the route is not as good as many claim, in my opinion. It is very contrived in places, poorly bolted, anesthetically in the middle of a random wall, and just plain seems not worth the trouble.
The guidebook I have (Roxanna Brock's) gives first ascent credit to 5 different people. I think that the widely varying bolting skills, ethics, and overall visions of such a large group ruined what could have been a much better route. You find runouts between bolts on challenging terrain, but on easier sections, you can literally back-clean your draws if you want. Some pitches have bolts next to great, and obvious gear placements, while others have hardly any bolts at all. It seems like the first ascentionists couldn't decide if they were making a sport climb, or a trad climb...now I do understand the whole mixed style of many long Red Rocks routes, but this one seemed very inconsistent, confusing and really distracting. I found myself wondering what in the heck the FAs were thinking instead of enjoying the exposure and movement of the route.
Anyway, here's some facts from our ascent:
We did the route on 3/23/08. Total approach from the car to the base took us 1hr 50min. My partner and I are both reasonably fit, but I am much stronger on 3/4th class terrain. I eventually had to carry her backpack on all the steeper sections of the gully. I'm not saying this to brag, but to provide an example. Even while carrying two backpacks in 30% of the gully, I made it to the base w/in 2 hours. VERY possible.
Approach instructions: Follow the most traveled jeep road from parking area to where the road turns right and heads past Wilson's Pimple. From here, look for the best looking gully, remember which one it is, then head towards it, erring to the right. You should see cairns once you get close to the cliffs. Head up the narrow, leftmost gully (the one that looked the best from afar...) follow cairns, tunnel under a giant chockstone, and follow more cairns. You'll eventually hit a gigantic Ponderosa, head directly up a cleaner gully above the tree, tunnel through another chockstone (one it's left side) and then look on the right wall for bolts.
We got to the base at 9:20am and were a bit cold in the shade. We didn't hit any sun until the 4th pitch, but stayed in the sun until the 7th pitch or so...by then it was definitely warm enough to climb in the shade.
You can link pitches 1&2, 8&9, and 11&12 (we had a 65m rope.) I bet you could link others, but that's what we did.
When rapping we followed "cdec's" info from above which is as follows:
"My partner payed very close attention and here's the low down on what can be rapped together with 60m ropes no shenanigans or downclimbing.
12 and 11
10 and 9
6 and 5
4 and 3
2 and 1"
I can say that 4&3 were VERY close. I had to reach down to clip my sling into the anchor so that I wouldn't rap off the end. Our rap line we brought was an 8.6mm 60m. We could have gotten another 12in or so if we had tied the rappel joining knot closer to the ends, but our tag line had a small core shot that we wanted above the knot.
We descended in the dark, which was not too bad. all in all the gully is pretty straight forward, but kinda technical in spots. You can easily pass bags to one another if needed on steeper sections. We opted to rappel the steepest section that is near the mouth of the gully. I did a Dulfersitz, which worked great, and my partner used a harness and rap device.
If it's dark, just spy Wilson's Pimple, silhouetted against the sky and head directly for it. You will hit the road eventually. Take it right, back to your car.
We took 1 each blue alien through red alien, 1 each #.5 Camelot through #3 Camelot, 6 nuts, and 18 quickdraws for linking pitches. I would suggest leaving the #3 and even the #2 behind. You can get good smaller gear on the S Crack pitch no prob.
All in all a poorly engineered route, on a ho-hum buttress, but the view of the Horseshoe wall from the top can't be beat.

Great route. Interesting climbing on good stone the whole way, kudos to the FA team for picking the line and doing all the work. At some point it would be good to replace the slings with chain at the belays. I would not recommend applying a wrench to any of the bolts as the nuts were not loose and further mechanical action would possibly make the bolts worse. If one were to replace the slings it would be good to have a drill along in case one of the bolts is fouled, a couple of them moved in the hole a bit.
On the descent we followed what I believe is the Aeolian Gully which was more direct, but did require two rappels. This was the next gully to the west of the White Rot Gully. We left a sling on a nice solid tree at the top rappel and reinforced the sling at the lower rappel on the rather sketcky small oak.

|My friend Matt and I climbed this route on the 24th of Oct. We got to the base about 45 minutes before dawn. We were a little anxious that a party of three we talked to the day before were going to get ahead of us. Needless to say we were the first of 7 people on the route that day. We blasted up to the top of Inti Watana linking all but three pitches. Reach up grab incredibly good edge or knob. Repeat! The last pitch has one gear placement before the last bolt. Wish I would have known that! We continued up Resolution Arete to the summit. We brought up to a #4 BD I wish I would have had another one for pitch 19. It's only awkward 5.8 but I was getting a little tired at this point. We descended via Oak creek. I believe we actually descended the SE fork of Oak creek. We took the gully where the sandstone meets limestone but looking back I think we should have gone over the ridge to the next one. We passed to the right of the tower with the Van shaped top and dropped steeply through brush to a 20' rap with natty slings. A little further down we encountered a 70 meter drop. There is a very old rope here with many knots in it, tied around a boulder. we left two four foot slings(red and green) around more boulders to equalize the two boulders. A SINGLE 70 METER ROPE will just get you to another anchor that consists of an old .75BD and a large nut on a small ledge. From here we rapped to the end of our rope on low angle rock. We continued down to hit the S. fork of Oak to a vertical 10' drop with a large knotted rope around a tree for getting down. Then the main fork of Oak creek where we turned our headlamps on. 16.5 hours car to car. A fantastic way to spend a full day. As we walked back around we could the see headlamps of the party of three still rapping the route!

|This is a fine line, we thought the crux was the 2 hour approach although pitch 2 has a few feet of thin 5.10 lie backing. I did not think there was any 5.10 past that pitch - just wonderful fast flowing 5.9. With a 60 meter rope and a good partner you can link pitches 5&6 (15 feet of simul climbing), 7&8 (25 feet of simul climbing) 9&10 (no simul) and 11&12 (no simul)making this an 8 pitch climb and knocking considerable time off your ascent. The second pitch and the upper pitches are fantastic.

Great route! I climbed it on Tuesday, March 2, 2010. Didn't see anyone on this route the whole week. The route was dry even though there is snow on some ledges still.
I was actually surprised to see all the anchors had tat (random slings) and rap rings on them instead of chains, Metolius Rap Hangers, or a Fixe anchor set-up. This is really annoying to me as some anchor bolts cannot be clipped directly because there is so many slings tied into the bolts. If I had known this I would have brought some chain with me to help the cause.

|Climbed Inti to Resolution arete on 3/27/2010. It was a pretty cold start and then in the sun for most of the climb. We still used down jackets for belays as it was cold and windy. Inti itself is fantastic. We combined the first two pitches and this was by far the crux. I thought those 10c moves were pretty hard. The 10c pitch up high was easy(er). We also combined the last four pitches of Inti into 2, to make one long 5.9 pitch and the 5.9 combined with the 10c pitch. I'm glad we continued on Resolution just to finish it off, but the climbing was not impressive and I'd probably not do it again. The walk off was long and hellish, so my beta is probably useless. We followed cairns for a while but then lost them and found a 3rd/4th class scramble into First Creek Canyon. Then it was endless boulder hopping and scrambling down the wash in the dark. We were not super-fast, the approach took ~2 hours 15 minutes and it is pretty steep 4th class if you've never seen it. We took a rest day earlier and stashed ropes and water at the base and figured out the approach, and I think this helped a lot. The climb itself went from 7am to 5:30pm. The walk off started ok until it was really dark (~7:30pm) and then it took forever to find an acceptable way down, and ended up taking us more like 5 hours to get back to the car.

All (12) belay stations on this route have slings and aluminum rap rings. This route really could use some steel quicklinks and all slings removed. This is a good reminder to always bring a few on big routes in Red Rocks.
Handren's pitch lengths are off a bit. With a 70m rope we linked, 1/2, 3/4, 5/6, 8/9, 10/11. There was rope to spare on all of these pitches.

First off, thanks to Wormly81 and his crew for adding the chains! Such a nice surprise to find those!
We climbed Inti yesterday and I must say, this is one of my new favs. There is not a bad pitch on the entire climb. It is very sustained and offers a little bit of everything. The quasi-gnarly approach keeps the crowds away.
A little beta:
70 meter ropes are the way to go on this one. With two 70 meter ropes you can climb AND rap the entire route in 6 pitches. 1500' in 6 pitches!
With 70's link the following and rap it the same way:
1 & 2
3 & 4
5 & 6
7 & 8
9 & 10
11 & 12
Make sure you bring 18-20 Draws if you're going to do these link-ups. A couple of the link-ups will be really close but you'll make it. By linking up this way you'll also have bomber chains at each belay. This route is not to be missed!

I had a great time clipping a lot of bolts and pulling on mostly great holds. We linked all the pitches as suggested above by Jared with a 70 m rope. Pitch 7&8 barely made it and required some strategic run outs to keep rope drag at bay, but nothing too bad. One great benefit of linking is getting all the good belay ledges and missing some of the semi-hanging anchors.
I don't think its an exaggeration to say that 50% of the bolts were loose, but all seemed very new and solid. The pro is great. I will go quite light on the rack (emphasize smaller pieces) and bring a lot of alpine draws if I do it again.

The approach is very doable in under 2 hours. It took us 1.5 hours and we spent 15 or so minutes lost. We had full daylight for the approach and previous experience on the wall so I'm sure that helped.
The climb works we'll with 70m ropes. We linked per Jared's comment above and it worked well but we came up ~20 feet short on the pitch 5-6 link. The climbing here was easy so a short simul was not a problem. Perhaps my rope is not a true 70m? Even so, the rappel is more direct and would have reached easily (our 70m tag line was still clipped to the previous station). The climbing on Inti Watana was enjoyable and flowing. The second pitch is definitely the crux. Surprisingly this route seemed to be most bolt protected where the climbing was easy (and often easily protected by trad gear) and a little sporty when the climbing was relatively harder.
We continued up Resolution Arete and felt that the rack we packed for Inti Watana (Small set stoppers, single set of cams to 3.5 and 20 draws/runners) was sufficient. It took us 2.5 hours from just below the summit of Mt. Wilson to the car via First Creek which is not an enjoyable time. All in all we spent 14 hours car-to-car.

Trip report for Inti Watana to Resolution Arete linkup:

Great route. We linked all the pitches except 7 and 8. I highly recommend topping out via the res arete - the climbing is pretty easy and not very interesting but the setting is amazing.
Did the route in early October. Left the car at 4:30am and got back at 7pm. We did the spring creek canyon walk off (rather than the oak creek canyon descent) and it took us 3 hours.

Awesome route!
As of Nov 22 2014, there is a very sketchy bolt right at the crux move (on p2) (you can pull it out an inch by hand)
If you're going to the top, I'd follow notmyname's descent beta in the comments for Mt Wilson - worked perfectly! Stay skier's left of the van-sized balanced rock, down an unpromising-looking gulley.

I'm hesitant to share this, as it might drop the commitment level of those choosing to commit to the Rez link-up and bring only one rope. You CAN rap all 12 pitches of Inti with a single 70 and no shenanigans. I've done it. For whatever reason, even accounting for the very moderate wondering of a few pitches, many of Handren's pitch lengths are WAY OFF. I would suggest you make sure your rope is a true 70, but even there, I'm not totally certain how long our rope was beyond to say they it was an older, uncut Mammut 70.
I climbed this rig twice recently, both times looking to link with Resolution Arête to the summit. We cruised the first 12 pitches in 4 hours on 70 halves linking 1/2, 3/4. 5/6, 8/9, & 11/12. Making the decision to not epic with the short days and with a memory of the beginning of the descent off the summit as confusing, we decided to rap at 1:30 and promised ourselves an earlier start next time.
Climbed it again, but we were slower and made the same choice even though we had only a single 70, opting for shenanigans on the rap rather than an epic on the descent. We favored one side of the rope as I rapped many of the longer pitches first on my Grigri on a single line. The longest pitches don't have many or any bolts to bail from, but every time I got off the rope and we centered it in the chains, both ends reached the anchor without issue.
Also, I was expecting something heinous for the approach with a vague memory of the same from when I climbed it back in the spring. Anything but, really. The approach is shorter and less confusing than for the Eagle Wall, about as strenuous and long as for Cloud Tower, Crimson, etc. The second half of the approach is somewhat strenuous with a lot of 4th class, but we didn't find it confusing as long as you get the first part of the second half right.
When you come up on the saddle between the Wilson Pimple and Wilson, the dirt turns a noticeable deep red. With the Pimple to your right, about 100m after you start descending the saddle on the main trail, there is a large campground area on your left. This is where you turn left and start heading up. The campground doesn't look that old or super-developed, but it is noticeable--stone fire rings, cleared ground, etc. Go out the back of the campground and head up the hill toward Wilson. There are cairns starting here. You're aiming for the left side of the white pile of stone/hill in front of you. The trail hits the left side of this white pile at a red cliff band that becomes obfuscated from the campground. Traverse left directly below this cliff band. Then follow the cairns trail up staying just out of the big gully that is on your left. Keep an eye on the biggest pine tree you can see and when you eventually hit it, there is a a deep recess/gully that heads a few hundred yards up and left. The start of Inti is visible on the right wall of this gully/recess, although you have to get closer to see the bolts. Look for the traveled "ramp" through the mossy slab of the first pitch.
Phenomenal route. Per one person above, this route feels a lot like Eagle Dance only a lot longer and in a remote area. This route is classic. Took a ride on p11 when a hold broke, but that is uncharacteristic of the route. The pro, hardware and rock is all very solid. The S-crack pitch eats any and all gear you have. We found that the route as a whole loves the green alien, .3 BD, blue Metolius size pieces. I'd take a couple extra in that size for the route as a whole.
The last time I led a gnarly, super-exposed 5.6ish? traverse looking for Resolution Arête before we turned around. Need beta for finding the Rez link-up. We got confused I reckon.

Climbed this route the other day an found it to be an excellent outing. really entertaining climbing in a beautiful setting. All the cruxes were well protected and short. Mostly this this is a great 5.9 climb with bits harder. I found the most difficult lead to be the 5.9 chimney on the Resolution. Bring a #4 camalot for this pitch if continuing on past Inti.
We found the Approach description to be accurate, looking for cairns at the "high point of land between Wilson Pimple and Mt Wilson where the earth turns red." Sure enough it went smooth and we made the approach in 1.75 hrs. (first route all week that we didn't screw it up). We did lose the trail for a bit on the descent off the ridge at the limestone. Not sure what we were supposed to do but we found our way once in the gully.
All told we approached of 1.75 hrs. Climbed to the summit in 6 hrs and descended for 3 hrs.
Also; To the party who left a beer in the summit register on 3/8/15. You didn't leave your name, but that was the best beer I've had in a while. You da man!! I'll buy you one next time friend. Cheers!

Be warned! We did it yesterday with a single 80m rope and it was way too short for rapping pitch No. 7. We had to put in slings to reach belay No.7.
No way ever with a single 70m rope!
AND: It is still one of the best routes in RR, even doing it the second time!

Because I'm dumb, I rapped this with a 70m rope. There's only one pitch where the rope ends about four feet above the anchors. I was able to clip a sling to the chains, untie and downclimb the slab to the belay ledge; my partner did the same. It was an easy downclimb, but I'd never intentionally put myself in that situation. If you're comfortable with downclimbing unroped to a ledge, 70m is no problem.
The climb itself is enjoyable, but I agree with those that describe it as rather banal. There's nothing about the line that makes it memorable aside from the situation.

|9:30 car to car - RAD route! Fumbled the approach a bit, but overall the route flows very well, 70m rope is the way to go. Linked every pitch as a double pitch and its pretty casual. Go with a slim rack with small cams (under .75), and if you're ok running it out a bit on <5.8 terrain, its casual.

Climbed this in late march 2015. Started hiking at 5:30a. The approach took about 2.5 hours with a little struggling to find the trail up from the Pimple in the dark. As mentioned above, the gully involves lots of 3rd and 4th class and a few places where a stumble would be bad news. We started climbing around 8am, and had the route to ourselves all day.
We did the route in 12 pitches at a leisurely, but efficient pace with double 60m ropes. Took a rack to #3 camalot and a bunch of draws. In hindsight, I would leave the #2 & 3 cams at home, take more draws, and link some pitches, especially if comfortable climbing above gear on Red Rocks 5.8. We linked a number of pitches (not sure which ones) on rappel and arrived back at our packs around 5pm.
There are two nice rest ledges on the route, but otherwise the belays are hanging or semi-hanging. Wear comfortable/stiff shoes. There's lots of edging on this one. Your feet will thank you. Also, plan on a mix of sun and shade, but mostly shade.
Overall the whole day took us about 14 hours with a few 20-30 minute rests. This route would be a great intro for those looking to break into longer routes of the grade as the commitment level is low, and most of the climbing is in the 5.8-10a range.

Climbed the route yesterday, and in all honesty it's bit overrated in difficulties and quality. Besides a couple short sections it's not any harder then Crimson Chrysalis (CC is much more esthetic). If La Cierta Edad or Nightcrawler are also 10c, second pitch should be rated about 10a/b at the most. P3-6 felt more like 5.6-7 range, also S-shape crack (if you climb it as face climb and actually stay away from a crack) was more like 5.7/8 range. Last 3 pitches were by far the best, both in quality and the position.
With 70m ropes, we did 1st rap as single, then combined p10 and 11, then did single rope raps to top of pitch 4. From here 70m and 60m gets you down. Doing shorter raps in mid section also rapping top pitch short will ensure you don't have rope hanging on some flakes.
We managed 12 hours 15 minutes car to car, at pretty casual pace. As far as gear goes, the route can be climbed with a single rack up to 2.5" (golden Camalot), blue #3 Camalot is overkill, and you absolutely don't have to run anything out with this rack. If something trade 3" cam for a couple of 0.4 and 0.5" extra cams.
No crowds- we have not seen a single person all day long.
Over all a pretty decent outing , with good final position in uncrowded location. Just make sure both rock quality and difficulties are below what descriptions give you.
P.S. Even after rebolting, a lot of bolts are already rusty- one more reason to use SS bolts and not skimp on cheap hardware.

We climbed into this first day of December, 2016. It was very cold and I wore gloves while clinbong P3-8. We climbed on a 70 and linked 1/2 3/4 5/6 7/8 9/10 11/12 with <5 feet simuling for 7/8 to skip the hanging belay (plush ledges)
We had singles 0.4-1 and it was great. 9/10 was the money pitch. Crux is 5.10b of you are 5'10 or taller and probably 11a for me as I had to get high feet and use a shit hold to reach the sinker finger lock. I give inti 2 stars but 3 if you link it into res Arete to summit.

A fantastic climb up a beautiful wall- well worth the hike up.
A couple of notes.
1) 70m, single rack to a red camalot, and 20 draws gets you up the route in 6 pitches. Link everything, it's awesome!
2) A 60m will let you link 1/2, 5/6, 9/10, and 11/12.
3) If you bring a 60m tag line, you can't link the 7/8 rappel, and the rappel to the top of 2 is extremely close. If you slide the knot down 6', though, you're golden.
4) Despite the books description, there are no bolts on pitch 5.

|Except for pitch #7, all rappels can be done with a single 70m. We rapped with a single 70, and did a single strand rappel for the 7th pitch, using our cordallettes and a couple sling as a pull rope(this pitch is about 40 feet too long being able to do it with a single 70). Was happy to not have to carry two ropes the whole way up(and approach) just for this.

HOWDY! Lost a blue northface jacket and purgatory water bottle on the approach to blood wall. We were actually returning and quite bit and I had not noticed my pack unclipped and dropped these items. :) they are crucial pieces of my big wall gear and I would love to get them back. if you find them, please message me on here and I will pay you to ship them back. I will toss you some bones as well. Climb on!
THIS IS A REPOST FROM A WHILE BACK. I have not heard anything and am trying various other pages. PLEASE let me know if found! Thanks! Mitch

Do women generally need more eye contact than men in casual conversation?
In my seminars on interpersonal negotiation skills, communication, conflict management and mediation skills we often speak about cultural and gender differences. Do Hispanics really make less eye contact than non-Hispanics? Do men or women expect or require more eye contact as a general rule? Do men touch women more than women touch men in casual conversation? Proxemics (personal space), haptics (touch), and kinesics (body and face) are names given for studies in these topics that attempt to answer such questions.
An increased understanding of these issues is important for improving our day to day interactions with others. It would be a mistake to take the results of these research-based studies and stereotype behaviors. It is much better to keep in mind that these sorts of differences exist and be sensitive regarding possible differences, as we deal with others. People within any given culture show greater differences than people between cultures.
With the help of several agricultural trade journals, my electronic forums and my Webpage, I put forth a short survey to help answer some questions on proxemics and related matters. I ended up with more than 3,800 responses in and out of agriculture.
Both men and women report a keen awareness of whether they touch others when they speak. Even so, men, in contrast to women, seem to be more cognizant of their touching behavior. Both men and women also report an acute awareness of whether they have been touched by another when they speak. Men seem slightly more cognizant than women about being touched. Europeans/Caucasians are the most likely to notice they were touched, followed by mixed ethnicity populations and Hispanics. Native populations and Middle Easterners were the least likely to notice they were touched.
Neither men nor women report that women invade their personal space very frequently. Men are a bit less likely (in contrast to women) to feel that a woman has invaded his personal space. Also, neither men nor women report that men invade their personal space very frequently. Men are more likely than women to feel that a man has invaded his personal space, however. Both men and women feel that men invade their personal space more frequently than women do.
At the one extreme, Hispanics (followed by Europeans/Caucasians) are least likely to feel that women invade their personal space. At the other extreme, Middle Easterners (followed by Africans/Blacks) are the most likely to feel women invade their personal space.
Men generally report that women touch them more than they touch women in friendly conversation. Women confirm this observation by stating that they touch men more than men touch them. The literature endorses these results. Studies show that women tend to touch in a more affiliative manner while men tend to use touch as an expression of power.
A greater number of women, in contrast to men report that they require eye contact when carrying out conversation. This makes sense because women generally tend to use eye contact to build affiliation while men may also use it to exert power (Wood, 2011). From an ethnic perspective, Europeans/Caucasians as well as Hispanics reported the greatest needs for eye contact; and Africans/Blacks and Middle Easterners reported the least need for eye contact during conversation. Finally, a greater number of men, in contrast to women, consider themselves punctual (p<0.001).
Some final thoughts
There are differences between the sexes as well as cultures that are worth studying. Becoming aware of some of the areas in which people differ can help us become more attentive and effective communicators. A number of respondents made the point of explaining that in some behaviors (such as eye contact, touch, etc.) they are not typical of their gender or ethnicity. Turning differences into stereotypes may cause more harm than good. When it comes to effective interpersonal communication it is critical to think about individual differences rather than population differences see Cultural Differences? 2009.
We can, however, take some steps to notice other people's preferences and make our own clear. If I need someone's undivided attention I may want to ask this person for a good time to talk. One friend mentioned how our cell phones-whether we are checking our e-mails or texting-often make it so we are less than present for others. We can try to reduce distractions that send others the unintended message that we really are not all that interested in listening.

Former University of Memphis basketball players Shawne Williams, 24, and Kareem Cooper, 25, were detained on separate charges today when detectives spotted Williams driving his Dodge Charger down Winchester Road without a seatbelt.
Officers reported they detected a strong odor of marijuana wafting from Cooper, who was in the passenger seat near Graceland at the time of the routine traffic stop. As Cooper stepped out of the vehicle, he turned over a handgun loaded with 20 rounds to detectives, who quickly spotted a bag of marijuana weighing 17.2 grams concealed in his crotch area, police said.
Cooper was charged with possession of marijuana with the intent to manufacture/deliver/sell and felony possession of a firearm. No bond has been set.
Williams, a former Conference-USA tournament MVP and the driver of the vehicle, presented officers his driver's license, suspended Feb. 12 for failure to satisfy a citation. A physical arrest was made to prevent the offense from continuing, the police affidavit said. His bond is set at $250.
Williams is still awaiting trial Oct. 1 for the January indictment for four counts of possession of a controlled substance with intent to manufacture/deliver/sell and four counts of conspiracy to manufacture/deliver/sell a controlled substance, a codeine-based syrup. His bond was set at $16,000.
Cooper was last booked on July 10 for domestic assault with bodily harm, records show. His bond was set at $2,500.

(3) payment of such benefits shall be made in cash unless the mortgagee submits a written request for debenture payment; and
(i) 2 Authority of mortgagee to assign its interest in any note or mortgage subject to a contract of co-insurance; terms and conditions respecting retention of co-insurance risk of such note or mortgage

"I think it is a plan campus is happy with," Wilkins said. "I know last year was hard, with the layoffs."
The university announced in March of this year — which was last school year — it would need to lay off about 15 people and leave about 24 job vacancies unfilled to deal with an $8.5 million budget deficit.
IPFW also announced in early October it had canceled its sponsorship of the RiverFest festival as it tried to focus funding in areas aligning more closely with its mission and priorities. IPFW had hosted RiverFest on its campus each June since 2010.
At that time, Wilkins said the university hoped to develop a plan by late October to deal with the $4 million loss in revenue, which was caused by students taking about 7,000 fewer credit hours of class than budgeted for this academic year.
IPFW actually saw an increase in new students but declines in the number of adult and graduate students, Wilkins said.
The plan to balance the budget will include three components, she said:
•IPFW will use $1.5 million of the $2 million that the state has given it this year. The state previously approved a one-time funding contribution to IPFW of $2 million this year and $2 million next year.
•Administrative and academic departments and offices will cut $1.4 million in expenses through a variety of ways, such as using fewer office supplies and less paper. Departments aren't being told to cut spending by a certain percentage, Wilkins said.
The university will continue to invest in areas where it is growing, which means some academic programs may not have to make any cuts, Wilkins said. One growth focus will be in the Honors program, which seeks to recruit and retain the area's top students.
•IPFW plans to generate $1.1 million in additional revenue by exceeding its targets for the number of fall students retained for the spring semester and for the number of students enrolling in the first session of summer classes.
While the university works to balance its budget, it will move ahead with hiring faculty and staff where needed and when vacancies occur, Wilkins said.
IPFW also has started pro-active efforts to prevent problems during the 2014-15 budget year, which begins July 1, 2014, she said.
IPFW is forming a university budget committee that will meet regularly throughout the year to monitor and discuss budget concerns and growth areas, Wilkins said. The committee will include representatives from faculty and staff in all areas of the university.
The university also has started its strategic planning process for years 2014-20, she said.
That has included meeting with and surveying area businesses and community leaders to learn what types of jobs will be available here in future years and what skills students will need to succeed in them, Wilkins said.

Great Brit: Wiggins creates history
The Sky team was formed at the start of the 2010 season and the intention was clear from the very beginning: to have a British winner of the Tour de France within five years. It's taken just three. Bradley Wiggins had achieved all there is to do as a track rider and he escaped what he called his «comfort zone» and set himself a new challenge after successfully defending his Olympic title in the individual pursuit in 2008. With three gold medals from the Olympics in his trophy cabinet - one each from the solo 4,000m effort (which is no longer on the program for the Games), and one...Read more Key moments

At fifty kilometres from Paris, Rambouillet is the doorway to the Haute Vallée de Chevreuse Regional Nature Park. It is like a glade in the heart of the Rambouillet forest, a forest with nearly 30,000 acres of the most wonderful flora and fauna, dotted with ponds and crossed by many footpaths, cycle tracks and bridleways. Its castle (14th-18th centuries) has seen great lords, kings, emperors and presidents pass through its doors. Francis I died there in 1547, Louis XVI built the Queen's Dairy in the Park for Marie-Antoinette and many international conferences have been held here. Provincial in its charm and tranquility, Rambouillet, which has managed its development while preserving its natural assets, is francilien also by its economic life. Partnering the town in welcoming this final stage, Yvelines has a very strong policy for the development of a more environmentally friendly transport system, in particular the creation of a network of cycle paths and greenways and with bike lanes spread over about 750 km of its territory.

Paris Champs-Élysées
Paris loves the Tour de France and is delighted to welcome once again the arrival of "La Grande Boucle" to the most beautiful avenue in the world. Each year, the last act of the Tour on the Champs Élysées brings delight to Parisians and the numerous tourists from around the world who have come to encourage and applaud the Yellow Jersey and the entire peloton. This sporting celebration is also an opportunity to recall the commitment of the City of Paris to promote cycling. For ten years, 700 kilometers of bicycle lanes have been created, dedicated pathways are multiplying and quayside roads are now reserved on Sundays and public holidays for walking, cycling and sustainable transport. In addition, five years after its launch, Vélib bicycle rental system, has allowed Parisians and the inhabitants of thirty municipalities on the outskirts to take over a hundred million journeys. This popular transport service is actively involved in the fight against greenhouse gas emissions and the goal is to try to reduce them by 25% by 2020. Vélib is proof, if any were needed, of the enthusiasm aroused by "the little queen" in Paris.

Just saw a commercial for a JO's Nike Shox Elite shoe... It looked really cool and had the 7 on it and all that. Prolly has the "J7O" on the back too.
The commercial was really funny, it had these german 'scientist' types sitting and arguing about why JO was somehow suspended like a statue in midair going to dunk.
It actually looked really cool, it was like a really good photo during a dunk contest or something.
The german guys were pretty funny though
I hope you all get to see this
I gots to get me those shoes!

United Airlines Boeing 777-200 POWERFUL Takeoff Washington Dulles – THE BEST
This is footage of a United Airlines Boeing 777-200ER (New Colors!) International taxiing, holding, departing, and climbing out of Washington Dulles. The flight was UAL 897 in route to Beijing Capital International. First Class all the way! Listen to that Amazing Engine sound! Look at the ANA Boeing 777 at 1:57 heading out to Tokyo. Then watch as we depart and, turn right headed over Canada. We flew over Northern Alaska and, then south over Siberia into Beijing. Flight time was just over 14 hours. Seat was 3A. You may hear a little bit of radio chatter in the background. I had channel 9 on and had my headphones up against my cameras mic, but it's very difficult to understand what they are saying due to the volume of channel 9. WATCH IN 1080p! It will improve the quality significantly! Landing in Beijing: www.youtube.com

FIVE years ago Aled Thomas was busy scoring the winning try as Wales claimed the Rugby Sevens World Cup crown, writes Sacha Clayton.
Now the new Gloucester Rugby signing is gearing up for the Premiership Rugby 7s and admits a repeat of his 2009 performance would be the perfect start to life in the South West.
Gloucester will take on Bath Rugby, Exeter Chiefs and London Irish on Thursday, looking to secure a spot in the Series Finals at the Twickenham Stoop on August 8.
Thomas will captain his new side who will be defending the crown they claimed last year and the former Scarlets man admits being champions brings its own pressures.
And the 29-year-old says he can't wait to get back into the thick of the action.
"I haven't played much sevens since the 2009 World Cup but I was at the Welsh Premiership 7s at the weekend and it definitely got me excited and now I'm itching to get going," he said.
"Now I'm really looking forward to pulling on the jersey for the first time, although I'm not excited for how my lungs are going to feel after!
"Scoring the winning try in the World Cup was an amazing experience and something I will never forget. So hopefully I can bring that experience to the table and help the team.
"But I don't really care if it's me scoring the tries or someone else because it's all about winning the matches.
"Ultimately that's the goal but, of course, it would be great to try and recreate that and get some more glory."
It will be the first time that Thomas has featured in the Premiership Rugby 7s but he is confident of slotting straight into the side and helping them regain their title.
"The squad is very talented and there is a lot of pace in there, which will be crucial," he added.
"This is a great way to kick off the season and play some competitive rugby.
"I think for us it's all about the pace and we have to play to our strengths.
"If we use our pace and ability and not get drawn into too much contact then we can be successful.
"We are definitely in it to win it but we have the added pressure of being champions so we will need to make sure we are ready to perform."
Also included in the Gloucester rugby 7s squad is Oli Thorley, the former Stow RFC youngster.
Tickets for the Premiership Rugby 7s are now on sale. Contact a host club or head to www.premiershiprugby.com/7s

YoFrankie! Open game
YoFrankie! is the Open Game project in cooperation with the Blender project. It aims to produce both a fun game whose source and content is open and improvements to the technologies used, ie to Blender for making it a better tool for creating games and to CrystalSpace to add features expected from modern games.
Work on YoFrankie! has ended in August 2008. The DVD is expected to be shipped out during November 2008. To get the latest information on the project visit The YoFrankie Homepage.
Be aware that late in the development a 'split' was made, resulting in two versions of the game — a "CrystalSpace" and "Blender Game Engine" version — worked on by different parts of the team. For the reasons of this please read the announcing article on the YoFrankie! blog. The DVD will contain assets and code for both versions.
Source Code Repository
The source code and art for YoFrankie! - both CS and BGE versions - are available in a Git repository.
To get an anonymous checkout, run
git clone git://crystalspace3d.org/yofrankie.git/ in a terminal. If you don't know what Git is or how to get it, check out the Git homepage. You should also take a look at "Git Magic" which provides introductions to often used Git concepts and commands.
To browse online or download a packed version, visit the Crystal Space Gitweb.
Right now, development on the CS edition is dormant. However, this does not mean we want to discourage anyone from taking a look and playing around with the source. If you want to make changes - by all means! Contact a crystalspace3d.org admin to get details on how to get write access.
Further Resources
More resources (albeit BGE-centered) can be found at the YoFrankie! download page. Also, the DVD of course has a number of extra resources, such as concept art, community-created animations.
Creative Commons textures
Another result of the YoFrankie! production is a collection of textures (not used as game assets) licensed under the Creative Commons license. It can be viewed online here.
If you want to chat about Apricot you can visit the #opengame IRC channel on FreeNode.net.
For YoFrankie! game discussions, ideas, whatever you can visit the YoFrankie! Forums.
In addition you can also participate in the new Open Projects Forum to discuss YoFrankie! and other open projects.
You Can Still Help Support YoFrankie!
Even if the project is now finished you can still support the Blender Institute by pre-ordering the DVD. This will help them to fund other open projects in the future. You can get more information and order information at The YoFrankie! Blog. Thanks for your support!
