I'm guessing either the Interiors route at Cochise or the 3rd pitch of Reed's Pinnacle.
Edit: After at looking at some photo's, it's definitely Reed's. |

Probably. Other then it's in the Flatirons I am clueless. Whatever it's called it looks ripe with choss. |

| That's the one. It was very entertaining to watch my friend and his (fortunately) tall partner do this downclimb from our vantage safe on the shoulder. |

No, but that is closest to the real route yet...
And integrates all (now 4) clues...
1) A Horan Route, and one he reacted to, when hearing that someone did it.
2) Within a few miles of Eldo (Flatirons)
3) Alcohol offered as a prize for the winner
4) You guys are SKUNKED so far...
Someone should have it by now! |

Slim, that is not it as I have climbed the route you are referring to. Although they are similar.
Ok, so it's in SKUNK canyon and it's related to alcohol. My guess is it's on MP so I thumb through (i.e., MP is my FlatIrons guidebook) the current crop of routes and look for booze related names. It's probably one of these two:
Ok, so it's the second one as the photos match, but I cheated so I am disqualified. Note, this was seriously obscure. |

OK, but you guessed based on the hints prior to checking the photo...
So I'll give you that. You also got it based on Clue #4...
So that's 2 beers remaining. Which means I owe you 2 beers. You going to be at the social on Tuesday?
Everyone else, thanks for playing the 'Obscure' game.
There are a LOT of big overhangs int eh flatirons... Just for fun, here is a nearby one that Joe already knows (that would be me in the pink and him in the white)
