John Harlin wrote this historical survey of RMNP in the Jan/Feb 1981 issue of Climbing. Pretty hard to beat the park for accessible quality alpine climbing.

Just interviewed Komito in August for this Kor bio, and he pulled out that issue of Climbing.

The Park is a real special place and I'm glad it's in the back yard.....

Steve...almost dead up the center...http://www.mountainproject.com/v/colorado/alpine_rock/rmnp__rock/105764076


Spearhead has some of the best rock in the Park and IMHO...the most beautiful cirque.

Here's a shot I posted to go with a story in one of those great Tarbuster threads a few years back.
It's Paul Sibley making the second ascent of Obviously Four Believers on Spearhead, summer 1971.

Aw shucks, you guys are encouraging!

Pate, I hope you have some good luck/weather up there.

At least it's in the right place, more Hallet.
