Lately I've been stressing about finding more first ascents and new lines of King Tut caliber. Ben Scott assured me this one line was "just the tip of the iceberg." I was hesitant to believe. Then Dave Graham called and toured me around a perfect granite talus field 20 minutes from downtown Estes Park with virtually no hike... Endo Valley. This was 2 months ago. Since then I've started to believe Ben more and more especially after he called and spoke of a new discovery he had made in the Poudre - 40 minutes from Fort Collins. My hope was fully renewed for new stone and quality lines when we came around the ridge of a 30 minute hike and saw this.... The Skyline Boulders!
