Comments: Climbed the route today swapping leads with Adam K. Overall, it is a great route and an incredible intro to multi-fun for the newer of the new. Completely running out a 70m to its end gave us the ability to do the route in 4 pitches (with the last pitch being all of 20 feet).
As far as gear is concerned, I found this to be much more accepting than a typical Flatirons route, there are placements where you may want them to be for the first two pitches and the third pitch (the crack pitch) eats u... more >>

Comments: Did this for my first solo on Wednesday! Great route with some fun moves. I ended getting a bit off route in a few sections and had to make some 5.5/5.6 ish moves which I wasn't too proud of for a first solo. For first timers, my suggestion is to fight the tendency to want to move right. Ended up missing the jump and came out just right of it. Watch out for false summits, and make sure to be more to the left towards the summit or you will get stuck in a corner about 10-15 feet above the trail th... more >>

Comments: I tried to find the start of east ridge today, but I couldn't seem to find it. My understanding is you take the Royal Arch trail past Sentinel Path and start to move west once you get towards Woods Quarry trail. My problem was I never figured out where Woods Quarry trail was and didn't see the unmarked post that is supposed to be around there. Any suggestions?

Comments: Wow, a buddy and I have been working on this route (he nailed it last Sunday), and we were approaching this move very differently. Holding the rail and high-stepping the left foot on the lower piece of the rail then working up to the little lip. Wondering if this works out better? =)

Comments: Tried it for the first time today. Fell 3 times amongst the 4th and 5th bolts. Super fun line that is well protected...here you can really focus on the moves. This route was really fun, and I will definitely be there time and time again to get it straight!

Comments: Chris pretty much said it all! The routes are super fun (especially on the steeper headwall) and the variations are nice. There are some slab type faces that are runout a bit, but it is easier climbing. All the cruxes are well protected (much appreciated!). Thanks to Tim and Peter for all their hard work!

Comments: Chris, I support 3 pitches with the 80m! Easy climb but definitely a super fun one if you're in the area! Using a 70m the rappel was done with plenty of excess with only 2 runs. If you feel like having a fun time and enjoying a great view, then do this route!

Comments: Just climbed today. I'd agree with many others in that pitches 1-3 involve pretty simple climbing with a hard move thrown in every once in a while. The crux on pitch 2 was a bit difficult and out of reach for me, and there is a real fun heel hook move on pitch 3. Slab climb on pitch 4 is fun. Overall, I'd say it is fun, gets you up there, yet it doesn't feel too exposed. The approach is a pain in the a**.

Comments: On one of the large flakey sections a little below the first bolt, there is a large piece broken that is just balancing on the rest of the remaining flake...if somebody were to hold it with both ands and lean it will definitely come off! Should be removed or at least noted before somebody tips it over. I'll post a picture of the location if I can.
