Comments: maybe this was a 5-8 at one time but it is reachy and i.m.o a little harder than 5-8 ,perhaps holds have broken off , also beware of a couple of jugs so hollow sounding that you can beat them like a drum. i agree w/ gigette note a good one for someone just leading in this range, same go's for the 5-9 to its left.

Comments: ok to further the confusion.to climb this route you need to have your offwidth technique down cause personally the cruxes are offwidth,and i suck at them so the cruxes were difficult. the rest of the route was awsome.

Comments: this thing is not all in the sun thats crazy, went last monday got an early start and only pitch 4 was in the shade, if you plan to try to escape the sun and climb this in the summer dont start early the sun cooks it. the shade doesent start untill around 11 but i finally did the route the first 4 pitches. and i am impressed, i liked dark shadows, so go back and do it, is what i say..and the base is a great spot to chill out

Comments: i think the potential is bad for not placing the small nut or stopper before the first bolt, because a ground fall could hurt the belayer and you could fall substantially farther because of the cliff to the right of the belay stance, dont run this one out to the first bolt place that piece, cause the rock is kinda sketchy untill the bolt.

Comments: just some advice i dont know who put them their or why but towards the end of the second pitch theirs two bolts under a roof to the left, after the finger chimney, dont stop here trend rightand follow the crack system after the roof to get to the end of the second pitch. so far out of the red rock climbs ive done, as a local, this is my favorite by far . rex

Comments: Recently the residents of Calico have put up signs in the cul-de-sac, that tell people not to park in the very end of the cul-de-sac so please don't, just park before the signs, be courteous and don't taunt the labs!

Comments: Ok Armatron was good, but Greg that variation to the left are you sure, that is new, I think, (don't know for sure) but is that maybe the climb called The Birthday Cake? Now me and my buddy carried a 70 and a sixty meter rope, up you can rap the 4th pitch with a 70 meter rope, you can go from the 3rd pitch with a 70 meter rope and rap to the left of the black arete and about a 3rd of the way down your rope on you left will see a two bolt anchor in a standing left facing corner, (maybee the sec... more >>

Comments: awesome great fun climbing for the whole family, except i dont recommend bringing little kids as the deck is on a perched ledge about 150 feet from the canyon, so if they need supervision dont bring um but other than that this place is awesome for teaching new people it has everything.

Comments: yeah uh this rating is diffrent for red rocks considering how most of red rocks can be over rated i believe that this climb is under rated a technical crux at the start and a slopey hard finish, this climb is a lot harder than it looks i think only the middle section could be a 5-10b the rest is a lot harder than it looks and most of the holds are in bad need of cleaning, slopers so smooth with black shoe and rubeed over chalk residue dosent make it much better,but worth checking out its in the ... more >>
