Description 

Start off the ground with some powerful cruxy moves on well protected climbing. The climb is fairly sustained thereafter, but with good rests, on nice horizontal holds.

This route follows high quality natural line trending slightly left. This is a great climb for those wanting to push their skills to the next level.

The route was established during a guide's course and named after a Jeeping accident caused by spontaneous rock fall near the Skylight ice climbing area.


Location 

Drive to the Ice Park (Camp Bird Mine Rd) and park at the first major switchback past the Mountain Rescue Cache on the right and the CDOT building on the left. Follow the chain link fence to the right of the powder house to the south (uphill) and follow a trail to the left where the fence ends to a rhodenite outcrop about 20m from the fence. The climb faces north and begins near a low-angled slab to the left of the climb.


Protection 

Bolts, 2 bolt anchor. Can walk off the back / TR easily.
