Where can I find the other Scarpelli love fests? This one was good reading...

That's the bottom of Piece of Dirt (5.11a). The climb actually goes up the layback flake to the right and then face climbs on a blank vertical face (the crux) for 20 ft. This shot was just me getting into the climb. I supposed you could climb that offwidth to the left, but it just ends up on the belay ledge for Kim. It's maybe 15ft tall.

Here's a link to the photo page: http://colocalders.com/phot...

Yes yes - another love fest for Scarpelli. Pete is from Boulder and it seems that, according to that article, all he does is sport climb there. If he wants good hard routes that don't necessarily involve off-width, maybe he should hook up with Eric Decaria (http://www.alpinist.com/doc....

What climb is that and how come you are not in the actual off-width?
