Craig Luebben probably put it up. If not, he'll know who did. He lives in Golden. I believe and can probably be reached through the Colorado Mountain School, the AMGA, or Climbing Magazine.

Be comfortable palming the rock and trusting your shoes or don't bother with this one! The top half seems like a walk in the park after the first half.
