This is looking up that .10a mixed-pro protected slab line. (right where the sun/shadow line is in mid-picture) Someone must have a name for it, eh???<br /><br />Good line - 30M to belay ledge.   Ye Olde Hysterical .10b<br /><br />This line is the natural dihedral on the East face following the sun/shade in this pic. (No need to mark it up with photoshop, sweet!)<br />  Safe Rap Descent for Single 60M Rope.  Basically an overview of the standard routes that are usually climbed & the rap descent routes available. <br /><br />Just use caution when considering rapping the face - a single 60M will not work; and there is a possibility of rapping on a lead climber. A single 70M might work from the cave down; but I have not tried it.<br /><br />However, a single 60M works great to the gully going West from the top-out (good bolts are now next to the small tree). Not to mention, it helps keep the flow moving on a busy weekend day.<br /><br />Some of the other routes are not shown (like the original CMC 5.6 line -- this pic vantage didn't give a good view of it).   I believe this is the overall rock. It is visible on the roadway just after the s-turns coming from Idaho Springs.<br /><br />The sporty lines are on climber's left of this rock and are good quality.<br /><br />This rock looks alot bigger from the road than it really is.
