Climbers flock to Rocky Mountain National Park for its great climbing in a spectacular location. Over the years, regulations and crowds have begun to detract from the alpine experience. But there are still a few locations of good rock in the park that most climbers do not know about. Best to keep them that way.

We climbed a 5-pitch 5.10+ route we called "Hackmandy". This was likely the second ascent. Nate had done the first ascent with Scott Kimball in 2011. Pitch difficulties: 5.7, 5.10+, 5.9, 5.9, 5.8.
