Location: CO : Golden : Clear Creek Canyon : High Wire Crag : Road Rash Roof (5.12a)

Comments: A great route with a fun crux section. Lean out using the big jugs under the roof to the crux. An acrobatic move is necessary as the feet are needed while trying the roof ledge. Try a heel hook above your head if your upper body or fingers are not very stout. Then use the crack to lean against while rocking onto the heel hooking foot. A very thrilling crux move that everybody sould try!

Comments: The best climb on the High Wire Crag. Through not difficult, it is a good route for beginners to find out how good they really are. The multi-pitch climb will also test their wits of heights. Wear a bright colored shirt as the cars driving up the canyon will see you very easily. A very exposed wall for the road and the sun as well. A very fun route and a must once up on High Wire.

Comments: The 5.10d first pitch is a good warm up for what is "too!" come. The 5.4 second pitch is self explanatory. I agree the third pitch is the best.

Comments: An excellent route with a tremendous crux. A taller climber will have more ease and success through the crux section.A okay seem up the route with few flakes to use as well. I feel the best route on the Starcastle wall.

Comments: A good warm up route and not too difficult, however the hike up the trail and the hill to get to the wall will wear on you once on the rock. A lot of loose flakes and rock on the upper half of the route. Bolts are difficult to see from gound because they are painted the same color as the rock. Make sure you can see the next bolt before making a tricky move!
