Mrs. Hen Places a Peck 

If you're looking for your first 5.12 redpoint, this is definitely the route for it. It's only got maybe 2 moves of difficult climbing (extend the the draw on that last bolt if you have trouble clipping it) and would probably rate about 11b or c at old-school areas like Shelf. Probably my favorite climb at Table.

I agree, this was my first 5.12! piz : )

Incredibly soft, but a fun line, especially for Table Mountain where you can usually step out to a ledge for a no hands rest.

Another sustained fifty feet of the headwall and this would be one of the best 5.11c's in the Front Range, maybe even as good as Lost Planet Airman or Taping Tendons. By comparison, many find "Bullet The Brown Cloud, .11a/b, at Brown Cloud" to be significantly more difficult. This route is definitely worth doing if you are already here or if you are looking to break into 5.11 errrr I mean 5.12.

First Ascent, March 1990, Chip Chace and Pat Adams.

I took advantage of some snowy "new-route weather" to find, clean, and bolt Mrs Hen. I was using Guy Lords' drill. Guy named this route and several others we did, like Mr. Squirrel.

Another weekend, the sun finally came out and we arrived just in time to watch Chip flash the route. They hesitated to give a number grade, perhaps sensing that I'd be disappointed. I got it the same day too, thinking not quite a twelve, but very attractive.

Having Pat and Chip do the FA was cool, they are amazing climbers. Another outstanding climber, Mike Cichon, just led Mrs Hen on gear this spring, 2009.
