Description 

This thing is too cool not to be described anywhere! I hope I got the FA info correct (info is per Will L. - who usually knows what's up).

Perhaps the best problem of its grade in the Flatirons. SDS out steep bulge to a cruxy bit to a jug. Finish with a classic topout on water polished, Fountain formation sandstone. So good! Go do it!

Location 

This is in the streambed of Bear Creek. It is a little tricky to find at first. A steep social trail leads downhill from the Bear Canyon Trail to the streambed. If you get to the route 'Thought Control, 5.9' on the right, you have gone too far.

Protection 

Gorgeous grotto with a perfect, sandy landing. 2-4 pads/spotters will make it very reasonable.
