Description 

This route is the second bolted route from the right on the Crystal Wall. The first bolted route on the right is Fantastic Voyage which I believe Craig Luebben put up. Tour de Poudre is well-bolted, goes about 100 feet for the first pitch, and has two rap anchors at the top. The first pitch goes around 5.10a/b. The second pitch is a bit shorter and more difficult. The second pitch is also well-bolted, has rap anchors, and goes around 5.12b/c. I am not absolutely sure of these ratings, although I feel they should be close.


Location 

Second bolted route from the right.

All you need for pro is quick draws and a daisy chain, cowtail, etc.

Nice route - first pitch is really continuous and fun. Didn't do the second pitch but it looks good.

This route is really really good. The first pitch is around a 100 feet or so and comes in at 10a. The second pitch is actually more like 80 feet and is right on at 12b. Climb it!
