Description 

Directly above the Visor is a small wall sheltered from the wind with 4 routes on it. This one shoots straight up the center of the steep and flat west-facing wall to the left of the obvious large crack/chimney/ramp thing. Quite thin and bouldery, it will test your ability to crimp down hard on small but positive edges. A little taste of Smith Rock out here on the front range...


Protection 

4 bolts to a 2 bolt anchor, so bring 6 'draws and call it good.

A great bouldery route with 4 bolts along the way. The route is very straight forward, if the holds are not chalked just think of how a crimpy route would be set in the gym, and you will find the holds, with some reachy moves for shorter (under 5'7") folks. A decent route, I would give it 2 stars. Worth doing.

11d - go to rifle and see what 12b is really like. Chipped and obvious. Left, Right ,Left., Right.

A fun route whatever the grade! A little sharp in places though.
