About the Author:
Mark Rolofson has been climbing on Colorado's Front Range for over 38 years. He has established hundreds of first ascents including numerous 5.13s. He is both an avid traditional and sport climber. He has traveled and climbed in Yosemite Valley, the Wind Rivers of Wyoming and the Sawtooth Range in Idaho for long grade V & VI climbs. He has climbed at many sport climbing hot spots including Kentucky's Red River Gorge, Maple Canyon in Utah and Buoux, France. Where the author prefers free climbing on solid hard rock, he has spent much time on soft sandstone, including doing the aid climb "The Finger Of Fate" on the Titan in the Fisher Towers of Utah in 1978 at age 19. Now at age 51, the author still redpoints lots of 5.12s and the odd 5.13. He has written & self published 12 guidebooks including "Boulder Canyon Sport & Adventure Climber's Guide" (Volume I & II), "Clear Creek Canyon Sport Climber's Guide", "Soft TOuch III - A Climber's Guide to the Garden Of the Gods". He wrote the first guide book to both Clear Creek Canyon and North Table Mountain in the "1993 Boulder Sport Climber's Guide". He has spent many winter seasons on North Table Mountain climbing, replacing old bolts and putting up new routes. One of his favorite mountain crags is Dudes Throne in Golden Gate State Park. Starting in 2003, with his friends Kirk Miller & Vaino Kodas, he established most of the climbs at this granite crag. The author is religous about carefully documenting almost every route he climbs at least for his own records if not for future publications. He lives in Boulder, Colorado with his wife, Sharon, two cats and his dog, Tommy.
