Comments: Fantastic route, one of the best single pitches I've been on at Red Rocks. Spring Break, as well as Tarantula and Gotham City, would be very hard to send first go without rehearsing the moves on TR. Spectacular piece of stone.

Comments: One of the best days I ever had in RR. When combined with the hike in and out, it makes for a long day. The climb in itself is very easy, way below the 5.6 rating if you ask me. But that alone was not enough to change the amount of fun I had.
We approached from Rocky Gap Road and these are my recommendations:
1- If you have never hiked Bridge Mtn, I suggest you either do the hike in with someone who is very familiar with the approach via Rocky Gap Rd. or you'll spend the entire day just trying... more >>

Comments: Looked at this climb Sept 09, looked good for a pm shady climb. Went back Oct 09 and lucked out on even better weather. In and out of sun till noon. Good stuff, varied and well protected. Climb uneventfull and props to David S for the offwidth.
We started the climb at 8:30 and finished at 2ish. The descent in Jerry's Heandron book is spot on. After the chockstone the cairns come and go, there is a large cairn to the west of the tree in the gully that is described in Jerry's book. About 6-10 c... more >>

Comments: Fabulous and well protected route. My favorite route of our current trip. I didn't love the raps though.....
Approach - A fairly good trail takes off to the left about 100' up the wash once the main trail hits the wash. When you hit the pillar, wander left and up to the starting ledge.
P1 (5.8) - Mostly great rock up past four bolts and some gear. Bomber anchor bolts. 130'
P2 (5.9+) - Chimney up past one bolt and some gear... and then chimney out and up over the roof. Awesome climbing! ... more >>

Comments: Super fun. The roof was cool.. #4 and #3.5 camalot sewed it up, and I ended up chimneying across facing left. Good times! 60m rope just makes it.

Comments: Excellent climb! Juggy thuggery on the bottom.... delicate and thoughtful up top. Plenty of protection up top that appears right when you need it (HB offsets went in perfectly). No move is very hard, but hanging out the place gear guarantees a 10- pump.
Be sure to find the best protection possible before starting the traverse to protect your second below.
