Comments: A nice little warm up. Make sure you have a spotter and watch out for moss on top

Comments: Yes it can be easy. Most of the holds are huge ledges, and big semi flat slopers with a lot of moss on them. Grab 2 pads and a spotter and dont look down.

Comments: This is a tough problem. I spent 10min trying to work out the first two or three holds. Little fingers are nice and i would say 3 pads and a spotter is needed.

Comments: I agree, this hurts to just get into position to start the route. You need to be stick and bones or climb up the side then sneak into the crack.

Comments: I have shed a lot of words, and skin on this problem but once you get it you will be pumped. Keep those feet low and use them to your advantage

Comments: Make sure you brush off the chalk in the underhang before you do that, and remember to turn your feet and lay back on that right arm. It's a fun route and it gets easier each time you nail it.

Comments: Everytime I'm out in CO, I go to this problem and really bust my arms on this one. But it's worth losing the skin on your forearms to get the problem done. Hike to it and Do it.

Comments: You can also start the same way, move right and up, and there is one huge jug, and a few smaller pinches but just go right up over the top of the point and it's a V0/1.

Comments: Starting far left, I think was easier b/c it got you to actally start with some foot holds...other than just campusing the first hold or two in the center. Deff V0/1.

Comments: When it's the middle of January, and snowing out, this is a little tough, but I need to come back when it's sunny and there isn't 2 feet of snow on the ground and work this when the rock isn't 10F. But I do like the problem.

Comments: I think I did this in hiking boots just the other day. Easy warm up...if at all a warm up.

Comments: If you use the right holds without the right side of the problem (near the top), it's more of a V2+, but if you use the hold near the top it does drop it down. I would say a smaller person with not a big reach won't be able to do it the best.

Comments: Let me tell you, when there is 22" of snow on the ground and muddy outside from the melting snow... this gets a little harder to do. Im working it right now and have gotten the first crux down in the middle but its deff something i wanna finish on a warmer day, not in Jan.

Comments: Now that one of the underclings holds broke off, you now must dyno up to the first big ledge. Moves rating up to at least a V3/4.
